1) Choose the right season

You can travel throughout the year in India as long as you are in the right place at the right time. Over such a vast area, the climate differs across the country.

Keep in mind that the best time to visit most of the country is between October and March. The rest of the year is ideal for taking on the Himalayas.I hope this blog helps you to know about the best time to visit in India.

2) Avoid the crowd

Choose a balanced route that offers you moments of respite. Chaining the urban centers of more than a million people can quickly make you allergic to the Indian bazaar. Instead of visiting the classics, Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, and breathe in the Himalayan foothills, even in the middle of winter. Between two major tourist cities, take breaks in your itinerary before returning to face the urban chaos. Choose less-visited regions, go to rural India, stay in villages, explore national parks.For avoiding the crowd monsoon is the best time to visit in India.



3) Respect traditions and cultural differences

In a country with deep-rooted traditions and an ultra-conservative mentality, modesty is in order. We advise you to wear it correctly. Avoid mini-skirts and necklines for girls and shorts and muscles outside for boys. In temples, wear clothes covering the shoulders and legs. At the beach, even in tourist places like Goa, one does not tan topless. Don’t forget to take your shoes off before entering a temple or site of worship. Do the same when you enter people's homes and sometimes in stores. As in many other Eastern countries, when you eat, use your right hand only. Remember that the left side is used for personal hygiene.

Tips for traveling alone in India

1. Climate

I would preferably recommend avoiding the monsoon season, which starts from June in the south and from July in the north and ends approximately in October. During this period there is a danger of flooding and many more delays or cancellations in transport. Hence monsoon is surely not the best time to visit in India.Depending on the area, it can be more or less cold, and there are many or few mosquitoes. In the dry season, it can get too suffocating heat.

2. Food

Food is usually one of the usual problems for Western stomachs. My advice is that you take local food little by little to give the stomach time to adapt to the new menu, or you will be on the whole trip looking for an emergency bath, and some are unhealthy. Always take necessary precautions such as peeling fruits or drinking bottled water from a trusted brand and always with a seal. You can eat street food but without taking unnecessary risks. Beware of the fried and the ice. Even if you order the meal without spicy, you will always find it tasty. If everything spicy feels terrible for you, avoid the masala, which is a spice mixture.


3. Accommodation

In India, it is advisable to allow yourself the luxury of NOT using guesthouses (a type of backpacker hostels) because the quality is deficient. It is better to spend little bucks and use basic hotels with individual bathrooms, which are not expensive for the western pocket, and you will have decent and safer accommodation. Don't forget to bargain. There are no fixed prices.



How to travel cheap:

Indeed, traveling to India is not for everyone, but there are a few ways to spend little money. The goal is to help you save on some expense items such as transportation, food, and accommodation so you can get the most out of on-site activities, for example. Here are some tips about how to travel in India inexpensively.


1) Opt for a nonstop flight

We all know that a nonstop flight is an ideal solution for cheap travel to India, but for the air ticket to match the price you plan to pay, do not hesitate to compete and book at least three months in advance.

2) An organized tour for the first trip to India

For the first trip to India, this type of stay is the most suitable. Do all your calculations for a well-organized tour. Between the management of your budgets, planning, and unforeseen, you will see that an organized tour is the best way to discover India.

3) The use of Couchsurfing to be able to stay longer

The most foolproof tip for cheaper, long-term travel to India is Couchsurfing. Several sites offer this experience. Many solo travelers have tested it and share their feedback in blog posts and forums. Some women traveling alone find that the only downside is the deprivation of liberty. Indians love to impose their choice, even on their guests. If you value your freedom, alternate the homestay with that in the guesthouses.


For comfortable travel, carrying shoes that suit you and make your journey better is important. You can also refer to travel guide books for a better insight of the place.
