Start early at key sites
Visit the Taj Mahal and Amber Fort at first light to avoid heat and crowds; light is best for photos and lines are shorter.
Hydrate and pace yourself
Carry a reusable water bottle and replenish frequently—northern plains can be hot and dry, especially April–June.
Dress respectfully
Use lightweight, modest clothing that covers shoulders and knees for temples and mosques; a scarf is useful for temple visits.
Keep local currency handy
Smaller shops and rickshaw drivers often prefer cash; carry small notes for markets and tips even if cards work at hotels.
Comfortable walking shoes
Sturdy flats or light hiking shoes handle stone floors, courtyards and uneven streets.
Reusable water bottle with filter
Keeps you hydrated and reduces plastic waste; filtration helps where tap water is unreliable.
