SHOPPING
India is a "shopper’s paradise". Due to the patronage received over the past
centuries, different types of arts developed in different areas. Silk, brocades,
carpets, rugs, brass-ware, textile, miniatures, wooden carvings, furniture and
jewelry are great bargains.
Returning or exchanging of goods once bought is not entertained. If you desire,
the shops will export your purchase to your address. Most shops that sell to
tourists welcome the major credit cards, some even except personal cheques.
HEALTH
Tourists coming from yellow fever infected areas must have a yellow fever
vaccination certificate. Inoculation for cholera, hepatitis and anti-malaria
tablets are recommended.
CLIMATE
Due to the sheer size of the subcontinent, it is quite difficult to confine the
different seasons to particular periods of the year. One can say, India has
three major seasons: winter, summer and the monsoons.
The winter months (Nov-March) are pleasant throughout India with bright sunny days. In the Northern plains the minimum temperature at times drops steeply, and there is snow fall in the hills. The rest of the country is pleasantly cool, never really cold. The summer months (April-June) are hot in most parts of India with the mercury touching 45 Degrees centigrade. It is the ideal times to explore the sub-Himalayan region.
The Monsoons tend to be
depressing in some regions, and yet seem to uplift the spirit in some other
parts of India.
