Thanks for sharing the local insights about India, as you have been living for 2 years now.
Who else could have told better than you.
Yeah, I agree with you that a traveller has to get prepared to face noise which may get shrill during the peak time.
Secondly, roads leading historical places are quite jam packed, unless it is Sunday or any holiday.
Thirdly, Bullock carts, horse carts, elephants, dogs, snake charmers can be seen.
Manually operated rickshaws are another mode of transport
Lastly, travellers do get mesmerised by the extent of warmth which people have. They may look with curious eyes, but when you need to ask certain address, then most of them will probably wish to drop you, so helpful indeed.
Not forget to mention the rich aromatic flavor which travellers experience while passing through old part of cities and they are so mouth watering, that it is best to taste cuisines.

I love how an IV magically makes you feel so much better! Lots of people won’t give in and go to hospital, but as soon as I”m SUPER sick I’m there! I’m glad you had a good trip and the blog could help you plan.

I’ve been in India for a little over 5 weeks now and it has been a great resource, giving me a lot of great ideas/places to check out. I can definitely understand the love/hate responses that India can elicit. I’ve had some incredible experiences (celebrated Holi in Mathura, seeing the sunrise over the Ganges, camel safari in Jaisalmer etc), while several lows (I had to visit the local hospital in Jodhpur to get an IV for my second bout of Delhi Belly). Keep up the great work!

That’s a horrible story, but I have heard ones similar. I think even the sweetest person who looks for the good can turn cynical; even I have- because too many “friends” screw you over wanting money. It’s a shame but I still try to look on the bright side because like you said it CAN happen anywhere and does.

She always wants to see the greatness in everybody and its hard to be that way in this type of country. I was just reading a Reddit AMA where he was traveling around India alone. He got on the train and some guys talked to him for a few hours and offered him some fruit. He ate the fruit to find out 20 minutes later it had been spiked with huge hits of LSD. Not only did he get robbed, he got put in prison for 4 days.

Pretty messed up. I’ll adventure there one day and the horror stories don’t put me off significantly because it happens in every country.

That’s great to hear! I know some people don’t get over the shock and leave feeling sad about their trip so that’s awesome for you!

That’s the hardest part I think

Great tips Jackie! & so true. In Goa yoga pants are okay, and recently on a trip to the jungle I wore them occasionally for adventure activities that my jeans wouldn’t do, but really they aren’t a great option better to get some baggy pj like bottoms. Too tight! Totally agree about the extra money too.

Yes, but you know I eat raw veg all the time on sandwiches and such at street food places and don’t usually have problems. I think in time your body adjusts to the water moreso, although I accidently made ice cubes with tap instead of bottles and about died lol I was SO freakin sick! But girl, brown out of the faucet!? That’s way worse than India, yuck!

Yes, it was so good!! totally recommend it. Although some nonsense philosophical stuff was too much.. the author seemed to just go ON and ON so that was slow reading
