Travel To India My Advice To Prepare For It And Especially For Women

India is a fascinating country. In general when talking with travelers, they like a lot or they do not like it. Others hate on their arrival and then fall in love with the country. As for those who have never been there, they apprehend and even more women. It is often a question that is asked me: then a trip to India is how? Not too dangerous for women? Or they tell me: I want to go but not alone, etc. Personally I love India, but this is not the case for everyone tell you that Tickets to India from USA

By the way, you'll notice the title: I did not say "prepare a trip to India" but "prepare" because this article will not give you advice on what to visit or how to get there but on how to prepare yourself and especially psychologically for a trip to India. Here are also tips on how to think and behave on the spot to enjoy your trip.

I went to India twice . This is the first country I visited during my world tour alone, I visited the northern states: Delhi, Taj Mahal, Rajasthan, Punjab. I went back this year for 4 months with my best friend Sarah around the world, and we spent all our time between Mumbai and Goa, the two most "westernized" destinations in India. And although we have already traveled a lot together before and love the destinations we visited, I absolutely loved these 4 months in India and Sarah did not like at all, besides she left the country much sooner than me. She embarked on a meditation retreat for 10 days, only with women, without speaking to anyone. I advise you to read his experience on his blog on vipassana meditation .

So I analyzed a bit our two behaviors and the why of how we like India or not. And this to give you tips so that you can enjoy your stay in India as much as possible. So of course, you will often be told that you have to dress modestly, and that's right, avoid sexy clothes. But to tell the truth, I find that to enjoy a trip to India, the most important thing to change is not his wardrobe, but his state of mind. First of all, we have to accept that India is a very different country. I advise you to read everything you need to know before traveling to India .

Of course, dressing modestly is good advice. You can also buy lots of Indian outfits for really cheap everywhere in India. I advise you not to fill too much your bag before leaving. Bring or buy on the spot a scarf / scarf, it is the most indispensable accessory. You can wear it in a sling, on the shoulders like a shawl, on the head to protect you from the sun or to cover your head if you find that your blond hair draws too much attention, etc. In short, you will feel more melted in the mass.

When you take the train in town, get in the wagon for women.You can also buy a sari, the traditional Indian dress is very pretty, and it's the perfect outfit to wear if you are invited to a party or a wedding for example, Indian and Indian women will appreciate your effort . Otherwise, even if the Indian women wear it in everyday life, I do not find it super comfortable to visit or very convenient for sightseeing.

In Goa, you can sunbathe on the beach in a swimsuit, no problem. But you surely expose yourself to the Indian looks, even some who take you in picture discreetly. Personally, I do not care, but I can understand that it can interfere. Most Indians are dressed on the beach and even go for a swim. If the look of the Indians disturbs you, do like it. If you can not stand the eyes of the Indians and you absolutely want to get your skin wet in Goa, look for the beaches of Goa where there are the most foreign tourists, like Arambol for example, and avoid Baga, or go to Thailand instead. Let's say that to avoid the eyes of the Indians (whether in swimsuit or dressed), we must flee the Indians. So coming to India to flee the Indians, it would still be a shame and what would be the interest to come to India?
