Start by understanding the visa requirements. As of now many countries <strong>allow a visa on arrival or you can apply for an e-Visa,<\/strong> which is a relatively straightforward process.<\/p>\n<p>Next, familiarize yourself with health and safety precautions. Check the latest travel advisories, understand vaccination requirements, and be aware of common health issues like Delhi Belly (traveller&#8217;s diarrhoea).<\/p>\n<p>Learn about cultural norms and etiquette. India is a predominantly conservative country, and showing respect for local customs will enhance your interactions. Weather can vary drastically across regions and seasons, so research the climate of your specific destinations to pack accordingly.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-planning-your-itinerary\"><\/span><strong>2.
