Travel Advice for India

On the upcoming commonwealth games 2010,being the host to all the global tourists, here are a few important guidelines to note down before reading anything else

Carry a global credit card all the time,and keep it signed.

Note down the emergency and handy numbers
Police - 100(STD CODE-100)
Ambulance - 101(STD CODE-100)
Address/Information helpline - 011-22222222,011-62222222,011-198(for government services)
Dial a Cab - 011-38383838(Valid in New Delhi only)



Do keep all the embassey/counselate numbers stored in your phone.

Do NOT carry SATELLITE phones. Using satellite phones in India is ILLEGAL and PUNISHABLE(Only the Indian armed forces are allowed to use them,a step to check on terrorism). If its inevitable,inform your embassey and ask them for directons to follow.

Keep in touch with your close ones all the time(no matter where they are)

Go ONLY for the government registered travel agent/tour operator/pre-paid taxi stand.

Ask for a bill FIRST always whenever you make a transaction.


Thats and if you have any queries/questions/doubts, or need to know something,just post it here. You're welcome
