Conservation

Sunrise at the Taj
Book the earliest entry to the Taj Mahal to avoid crowds and the midday heat; security lines still form before opening so arrive 20–30 minutes early.
Dress for sites
Wear modest clothing that covers shoulders and knees for mosque and palace visits; lightweight, breathable fabrics work best in summer.
Carry local currency
Small vendors and autorickshaws in markets may not accept cards—keep small rupee notes and a secure money pouch.
Stay hydrated
Carry reusable water and refill where safe—organizers often provide bottled water but daytime walking in summer can be dehydrating.
Comfortable walking shoes
Support and traction for stone steps, cobbled lanes and palace courtyards.
Sun protection (hat & sunscreen)
Shield from strong sun during open-air site visits and market walks.

Lightweight layers
