and it can also make you happy and sufficient. If you are traveling to India, here are the 5 things that should not be done inorder to travel good and return with some everlasting memories.
Don’t over
plan: Don’t
try to over plan, make your plan limited to an extent inorder to relish the
earthy and pleasing beauty of Incredible India. If you are venturing to India
during peak seasons, consider to book through travel agents or otherwise travel
with your own to fit to the culture of India.
Don’t
Irritate the Locals: Taking photographs of locals without their permission is not
respecting their cultures in some place, in Ladakh the monks get annoyed if you
take their photographs.
Don’t Advent
the Normal way: Inorder to advent to the real India, don’t make a list of things that you
want to explore. India has lot to offer beyond every tourist expectations, so
make sure to travel with higher expectations and lesser list of things to do
and visit.
Familiarize:
You may
hurt the sentiments and customs especially of the villagers, so make sure not
to hurt their feelings by familiarizing with the local customs and tradition.
Don’t be a
Disorganized/Messy: Don’t take the beautiful mountains and beaches or anywhere
else as your own vacation spot by littering them, those are meant to hurt the
sentiments of locals and the authorities taking care of it. India is a polluted
country, but don’t make yourself a part of the pollution, instead try to put
every single thing that you use in the dustbin or some right place.
Don’t take
it in Person: As, India ranks second in terms of population, it may be very crowded,
polluted and sometimes you have to be a part of the traffic jams and strikes,
don’t take it personally. There are many things that one will learn after
traveling to this beautiful historical country.
Traveling: Don’t always travel in the
peak seasons; you can also travel in normal seasons. Infact, you will come
across the best traveling experience in off season compared to that of tourist
season.
Don’t stay
for 2-3 days in the Same Place: If you are on a lengthy vacation, try not to spend more
than 2-3 days in the same place, instead you can visit to other better place
during that time.
Don’t take the culture and traditions
of Indian otherwise, they are good but can be annoyed at times.

cities, but in hill stations you can drink them as it can be pure than the
bottled water.

Ø Eat where the locals eat and the same thing that they prefer.
Ø Stay veggie or go luxurious hotels.
