Tips For Travelers in Rajasthan
Rajasthan has a sound tourist infrastructure in place, so travel is, for the most part, safe and hassle-free. The people are helpful, and the government has a system in place where tourists can ask for help if needed. To help visitors, we have put together this brief “tips for travelers” section.

Entry Requirements
You need to have a valid visa if you are a foreign tourist. The visa must be issued by the Indian Embassy. You also need to have a passport. Your documents can be checked at any time on arrival, so keep them with you always.

Safety
1. Avoid unlicensed tour operators and guides. If you feel intimidated by any of them, call the police by dialing 100.
2. During your Rajasthan tour , you should stay in large, well-established hotels. They have good security arrangements and you can get in touch with your consulate or embassy if needed.
3. Carry your money unobtrusively. It is always safer to carry travelers’ checks and credit cards than a large amount of cash.
4. Do not travel to places that are too far off the beaten track.
5. Do not go alone to places you are not too sure of.
6. Women should take special care not to go to poorly lit areas after dark, or take a shortcut through lonely stretches of roads and alleys.


Health
1. Take your shots of cholera, tetanus, and other diseases before you start the journey.
2. Carry clothes that cover your skin and help you avoid sunstrokes.
3. Keep your medications with you all the time. It may not be possible to source prescriptions drugs in the smaller villages and desert areas.
4. Drink plenty of water while on the move; the dry, hot climate can be a challenge otherwise.

Conveniences
1. Foreigners can carry any amount of foreign currency. 2. All major credit cards such as Visa, Master Card, and major travelers’ checks are accepted at the larger hotels, shops, and boutiques. 3. You do not have to worry about how to keep in touch with your friends and family members. All major cities and towns have cyber cafes. And you can always make an international call back home.

Rules and Regulations
1. Indian laws prohibit the purchase and use of banned substances like drugs.
2. Taking out some items such as ivory is prohibited.
3. You cannot smuggle out animals and plants on the endangered list.
4. If you see “no photography allowed” signs, respect them.
5. Dress modestly, especially in the smaller towns or villages. Women should wear dresses that cover their legs and shoulders.
6. Respect local sentiments; leave your shoes outside when entering temples and mosques, don’t drink alcohol in public in the smaller towns, and do not insist on having non-vegetarian food in spaces clearly marked out for vegetarians.
By following the laws and regulations in place, and being alert while on the move, you can ensure a great experience not only for yourself but also for the people you meet.
