-Do pack a basic medical kit with your luggage. Also carry adequate quinine, the anti-malarial drug.
- If you are travelling in summers (April-June), carry only cotton garments, shorts, light coloured clothing. A trip in winter season (October-February) necessitates woollen clothing as the temperature often touches sub-zero levels.
- Instead of carrying too much cash you can do with traveller's cheques and get them converted at Money changers like Thomas Cook.
- Make it a point to buy the maps of place you are exploring to make for easy navigation.
- Budget travellers can minimize their expenses by eating as often as possible at the Langar (The Common Kitchen) in a Gurudwara.
- When you visit a Gurudwara particularly, make sure you leave your footwear out and cover your head with a piece of cloth.
-Before shooting pictures of a Gurudwara, a historical monument, museum or a palace, ensure beforehand if Photography is not prohibited. Otherwise it may lead to heavy penalties and even confiscation of the camera.
-Specifically for foreigners, there is usually a foreigner's helpdesk at most big Gurudwaras. One can always go there to find out more information.
- If you are not conversant in the local dialect and you are using public transport like cabs or auto rickshaws for internal commuting, make sure you ask a few people around before you get into one. Do find out the fare before you agree on a price with the driver to avoid being cheated.
- In case of an emergency you can contact the nearest police station at 100, fire station at 101 and an ambulance at 102.
