Hotel accommodation

In India, the official category of hotels does not guarantee international standards and does not always guarantee customer expectations. All facilities, from luxury hotels to heritage residences (former homes of the Maharajas), are periodically supervised by our staff. Heritage hotels (3/4/5 stars) guarantee a comfortable standard and a traditional atmosphere able to immerse visitors in the time of the Maharajas. In the main cities, where the accommodation offer is wider, hotels have been selected that guarantee an accurate service, a welcoming environment and a privileged location. In the Himalayan areas and along the off-road itineraries, the best existing structures (3 stars) and fixed tented camps with limited comfort are provided, where a good spirit of adaptation is required.

 

Means of transport

The roads connecting the major cities of India are generally paved. The means of transport are private and of Indian standard, with air conditioning and highly experienced English speaking drivers. The traffic of the Cities considerably slow down the transfer times allowing an average of about 50 km per hour. For travelers who wish it is possible to provide vehicles of superior category.

 

Food and Drink

Indian cuisine is very rich and tasty. Each state has its own culinary traditions and is distinguished by its elaborate preparations. Spices (Masala) are used with almost all foods. In general, Indians are very fond of vegetables, rice, lentils, yogurt, tropical fruit, vegetables but also chicken, mutton and lamb. Beef and pork are excluded from the table for religious reasons. Excellent chapati, roti and paratha bread which is prepared in different ways depending on the region. Curry, cumin, coriander, black pepper, nutmeg, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, anise, cardamom are present in many vegetarian or meat or fish dishes; often the dishes are associated with "daal" (lentils) with white yogurt. In general, the cuisine is spicy even if the hotels that host Western travelers try to "limit" the use of spices. Do not miss the Tandoori chicken (typically Indian chicken), fruit (coconuts, mangoes, papaya, bananas) and of course the "chai": tea with milk and spices. The Indians produce excellent beer and different qualities of rum.

Photographic material

It is advisable to obtain all the necessary material in advance: films, micro-Films, flashes, memory cards are not always easily available or very expensive. It will be useful to carry a simple plastic bag with you to protect objects from dust or humidity.

 

Shopping

In India it is possible to buy many handicrafts and each state has its own particular local art. From carpets to precious stones, from silk fabrics to silver objects, from spices to multiple objects inlaid in wood or marble, from pashmina shawls to bedspreads embroidered with gold thread and mirrors. Traveling with local guides or Indian escorts you will have many opportunities to shop. At the end of the planned visits, it is customary for the guides and companions to recommend some shops where to shop and where the objects offered are of authentic value. Sometimes the local guides can be too insistent in taking you to the shops they know: in these cases, you do not feel obliged to go but if you follow their advice do not doubt the quality of the goods that are offered to you. Treat your prices with tenacity: it is the local custom. In any case, by going to the shops on your own, unless you have very precise indications, you would most likely stumble into "little scams": do not delude yourself otherwise!

 

Tipping

In India it is good practice to leave service tips in hotels, restaurants, guides and drivers following your journey. For a tip for normal room service or porterage we recommend 50-100 Rupees. For the one-day service of a local guide (as long as you are satisfied) we recommend around 10 dollars. Same treatment for a
