The culture is rich, the food is delicious, and the polluted streets bustle with life. It is one of the most diverse, spiritual, and historical countries on Earth.\u00a0 Here some travel tips to use on tour Indian vacation<\/p>\n<h2>How to keep healthy on your Indian Vacation<\/h2>\n<p>The key to having a positive experience is making sure you have what you need to keep healthy in India. To avoid coming down with the notorious<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sureaqua.com\/drinking-water-quality-giardia\/\"> Delhi Belly<\/a>, make sure you have a reliable method of water purification with you. Don\u2019t rely on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sureaqua.com\/bottled-consuming-water-impure-or-pure\/\">bottled water<\/a> because India has severe problems with pollution, and bottled water can be challenging to ascertain in many areas. Most bottled water is not what you think it is!. It\u2019s also imperative to make sure everything you eat is well-cooked, as dirty residue water can make you seriously ill.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Almost 60% of first-time visitors get some kind of illness when traveling through India.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The sewage system is sub-par, to say the least, so to keep healthy on your Indian vacation, aim to make it to a restaurant or hotel when you really need to go. Coming into contact with untreated sewage can cause severe illness and transmit diseases.<\/p>\n<p>This is all well and good while you\u2019re there, but before you head off on your India holiday, make sure you\u2019ve got the following things sorted to make sure you can keep healthy in India:<\/p>\n<h3>Be Emotionally Prepared for your Indian Holiday<\/h3>\n<p>Even though India is a fantastic vacation destination, there are several aspects that can be very disturbing. These include:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The abject poverty, extremely poor, with shanty towns everywhere,<\/li>\n<li>The number of beggars in the street<\/li>\n<li>The piles of rubbish scattered in the streets, rivers,<\/li>\n<li>The sick looking dogs roaming the streets<\/li>\n<li>The sewage on the streets,<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Indian Vacation Preparation<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Insurance.<\/strong> If your India holiday goes pear-shaped and you need to flee to get medical assistance because of a family emergency or for some other reason, at least it won\u2019t be out of your pocket.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bring your meds<\/strong>. Don\u2019t rely on being able to pick up more prescription medication in India. Have enough with you to last until you reach the following Western country. Oh, and of course, if you have any aspirations whatsoever to keep healthy in India, bring a first-aid kit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Get your lady bits sorted.<\/strong> Pads and tampons can be very hard to come by and the absence of them could definitely dampen your India holiday. Birth control is legal and accessible in India, but make sure you have a sufficient amount if you a reliant on a particular brand.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bring at least two rolls of toilet pape<\/strong>r with you. Unless, of course, you want to do as many locals do and use your hand.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re going to go to India, be mentally prepared to deal with poverty, corruption, and pollution on an unimaginable scale. For the unseasoned traveler, the hardest thing about an Indian holiday is dealing with immense poverty. Every day in many parts of India, you will see children, families, the elderly, and the disabled living on the streets begging for food or money in order to survive.<\/p>\n<h3>How to manage beggers?<\/h3>\n<p>Even for the seasoned traveler, the most challenging thing about an Indian vacation is seeing how much more vast the poverty is in India compared to other places you may have been. Don\u2019t be afraid to give to beggars, but set a budget for how much to give per day. To avoid being chased or robbed by an entire gaggle of people, never give too much to any one person. However, bear in mind that it can be enormously satisfying to know that you\u2019re giving to the people during your India holiday and gaining a stronger connection with the country.<\/p>\n<h3>Be Prepared for Indian Vacation<\/h3>\n<p>While some places are better to travel to others on an India holiday, be prepared to be somewhat flexible on your itinerary so you can make the most of your India holiday. Make adjustments to your plans when you make great connections with people or places.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_enable_image=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax=&#8221;on&#8221; parallax_method=&#8221;off&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;7px||||false|false&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/sureaqua.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Survival-300-240.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Survival  jerrycan banner 300 240&#8243; url=&#8221;https:\/\/sureaqua.com\/shop-now\/&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_code admin_label=&#8221;Rate post&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][ratemypost][\/et_pb_code][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cOur battered suitcases were piled on the sidewalk again; we had longer ways to go.
