Stay hydrated between sites
Long drives and hot afternoons are common — carry at least 1–2 L of water per person and use bottled water supplied in vehicles.
Carry small-denomination cash
Local markets, roadside snacks and some temple donations may prefer cash; ATMs are common in cities but scarce near rural monuments.
Respect temple dress codes
Wear modest clothing (shoulders and knees covered) when visiting active shrines like Grishneshwar and Jagdish Temple to avoid denied entry.
Prepare for uneven surfaces
Many caves, forts and stepwells have stone steps and narrow passages — sturdy walking shoes improve comfort and safety.
