India is a very unusual and versatile country. Here there is an opportunity to get unforgettable impressions from the rest. If you want your upcoming trip not to be marred by minor troubles, you should follow a few tips:
- When entering local temples and mosques, be sure to remove your shoes
- If you plan to visit sacred places in India, choose the most closed and modest clothing for this purpose
- When planning to capture a photo of a particular landmark in India, it is imperative that you ask permission to do so
- Free morals between a man and a woman are not acceptable in India
- When talking to natives, it is not a good idea to shout at them or raise your voice. It is considered bad manners to point fingers at the locals
