Climate
India has a three-season year – the hot, the wet and the cool. The months from October to February are some of the best times to visit as the weather is very pleasant with minimal rainfall in most places. The average temperature is about 21-30°C.
Food
Food is often the cause of many stomach upsets. It is important to be careful about how it’s stored, cooked and served. Avoid buffets and only eat freshly cooked food that’s served hot.
We recommend not to eat food, which is sold in the streets.
Vaccination
We recommend to inform yourself about the vaccination recommendations for India (hepatitis A+B, typhoid, etc).
First-aid kit
We recommend to take along a first-aid kit for your travel to India which should include the usual content, e.g. plasters, painkillers, anti-diarrheal, etc.
