The plane is the most real way to get to India from Russia. Most of the state borders of India takes place by the sea, the other - for hard-to-reach mountain areas. In addition, there is political tensions on borders with China and Bangladesh. By sea, getting far and long. In addition, it is not safe. So, flight. On it and focus in our choice. The largest number of international flights arrive in Delhi and Mumbai, as well as in Calcutta, Chennai and Bangalore. These airports serve North-West, the west coast, northeast, the south-east coast, the central and southern part of the country, respectively.

The price of air tickets to India depends on the season: the most expensive - from November to March, when the "high season" in the country is the most comfortable weather. Prices are moderately declining from April to May and from August to October. The most favorable air tickets - in June and July. By the way, in October-November, Indians from around the world rushed to their homeland in order to spend these days of the holiday of Diwali with families. Therefore, the cost of tickets shook! Business, in general.

Tourists who are heading for Goa or on the coast of Kerala, we recommend contacting a travel agency, where experts are preloaded by a ready-made turntable, including a charter flight along with accommodation. This is the most optimal option. But it should be borne in mind that the Indian authorities established a limit during the stay of tourists who flew a charter flight - no more than 28 days. Moreover, the tourist is still obliged to the charter.

Flight to India from most cities of Russia is possible only with a transplant, so the average time on the way is more than 10 hours. With a direct flight from Moscow, for example, time on the road is reduced by about 2 times, but the cost increases in proportion to!

Tourist routes for the Golden Triangle Delhi Delhi - Jaipur - Agra in North-West countries begin in Delhi (New Delhi Airport). Flight from Moscow to both sides with a change in Astana will cost about 24,000 rubles, it will take from 10 to 12 hours. For comparison, the direct flight Air India performs in 6 hours, but the cost of a ticket in both directions is about 36,000 rubles.

On the Andaman Islands, the East Coast of India is Port Blair Airport. From Moscow, here you can fly "Lufthansa" in conjunction with Air India. With transfers in Frankfurt and Chennai, the flight occupies as many as 35 hours, the cost of air tickets and back - 45,000 rubles.

In Calcutta, megapolis in the northeast of India, Etihad Airways flies. With an intermediate landing in Abu Dhabi in flight will spend 18-19 hours, the ticket will cost in the amount of about 35,000 rubles.

The city of Bangalore in the south of the country is flying the same Etihad Airways. 12-15 hours, and you are in place. The price of the question is 26,000 rubles.

It turned out that in a small, relatively secluded town of Revalsar, we arrived quite late enough, so late that the small, sleepy and lazy provincial hotels were hard to mess with our settlement. The hosts of the hotel shrugged, shouted their heads and waving their hands somewhere toward the night slammed the doors in front of our nose. But we willingly, the truth was not free of charge for residence in the guest house in the Tibetan Buddhist Monastery on the lake.

As it happens often for Tibetan places, the Hindu was engaged in our meeting and accommodation, since it was not necessary to deal with Tibetan monks to make money and worldly issues. In addition, the monastery was no longer the first hour was immersed in night darkness, and the monks should have to sleep so that tomorrow early in the morning it was necessary to go to meditation to meditation tomorrow. The Hindu who gave us the keys to the hotel room about this and other sorrows of the world, and in order to somehow console themselves persistently recommended us to visit this event at seven in the morning.

The main topics are lower: buses and trains, flights and visas, health and hygiene, safety, route, hotels, food, necessary budget. The relevance of this text is spring 2017.

Hotels

"Where will I live there?", For some reason, this question is very much, it just strains those who have not traveled in India. There is no such problem. Hotels there Pond pond. The main thing to choose. Then we are talking about inexpensive, budget hotels.

In my experience there are three basic ways to find a hotel.

Spiral

Usually you will arrive in a new city by bus or train. So there are almost always a great mass of hotels around them. Therefore, it is enough to move away from the place of arrival and start walking in a circle with an increasing radius to come across many hotels. Inscription "Hotel" In the significant territory of India denotes the place where you can have a snack, so the signboards are the main landmarks "Guest House" and "Lounge".

In the zones of mass idle (Goa, the resorts of Kerala, Himalayas) are the private sector, well, as we have on the Black Sea coast. There it is possible about housing to be interested in the local population and navigate on the signs " Rent". In Buddhist places you can live in monasteries, in Hindu in Ashrama.

The further move away from the bus station or railway station, the lower the price, but the hotels are ever less and less. So inspect several hotels acceptable by price and quality and return to the selected one.

If you travel by a group, then you can send one or two people in search of the hotel, while the rest are waiting at the train station with things.

If the hotel refuses and say that the hotel is only for the Hindus, then insist on the settlement almost useless.

Ask a taxi driver

For those who have a lot of luggage or just look for laziness. Or I want to settle near the sights, for example, Taj Mahal, and not at the station. Even in large cities there are places of traditional cluster of tourists: in Delhi, this Maine Bazaar, in Calcutta, is a Street cereal, and somehow called Bombay, but I forgot, that is, in any case you have to go.

In this case, find the driver of Motoriksha or a taxi and put the task where you want to live in what conditions and for what about money. In this case, you can sometimes contact the desired hotel, even show several seats to choose from. It is clear that the price is immediately increasing, it is pointless to bargain, since the taxi driver's commission has already been included. But sometimes, when lazy or in the middle, it is quite convenient to use this method.

Book online

This is for those who love certainness and guarantees, greater comfort and less adventure.

Well, if you book in advance, then book hotels and not too cheap (at least $ 30-40 per room), because otherwise there is no guarantee that in reality everything will be so beautiful as in the photos. I also complained that sometimes came to the booked hotel, and the rooms, despite the reservations were already busy. The owners of the hotel were not embarrassed, they said that a customer came with money, and the wills of the will to refuse not enough to customer with cash. Money was returned, of course, but still insulting.

Search, settlement and accommodation in low-cost Indian hotels can be independent adventure, the source of fun, and sometimes not very funny memories. But it will be that at home then tell.

Technology settling

• Free from the presence of "Hindu helper" and called, their presence automatically increases the cost of settlement.
• Come to the hotel that seems worthy of you and ask how much it costs and decisive whether it is worth living there, at the same time you have time to evaluate the interior and help.
• Be sure to ask for a show before settling, show all your kind of discontent and indignation, ask to show another number, most likely he will be better. So you can make several times, seeking all the best placement conditions.

Those who are interested in the energy of Osho and Buddha, meditation and India, we invite you all on a trip to the places where it was born, I lived the first years of life and gained the enlightenment of the greatest mystic 20th century Osho! In one trip, we are compatible with the exoticism of India, meditation, absorb energy seats Osho!
Also in the plan of the tour includes visiting Varanasi, Bodhgai and possibly Kajuraho (on the fact of the availability of tickets)

Key travel destination

Kuchwada

A small village in Central India, where Born and lived the first seven years, Osho surrounded and the care of her grandparents who loving his grandparents. In Kuchwad, there is still a house that remained exactly as she was in the life of Osho. Also near the house there is a pond, on the shores of which she loved the clock to sit Osho and observe the endless movement of the reed in the wind, fun games and the flights of the Herkel above the stuck water. You will be able to visit the house of Osho, spend time on the shore of the pond, walk around the village, to absorb that the serene spirit of rustic India, which undoubtedly had an initial impact on the formation of OSHO.

In Kuchwad, there is a fairly large and comfortable ashram under the patronage of Sanyasin from Japan, we will live, and meditate.

A small video "emotional impression" from visiting Kuchwada and House Osho.

Gadarwara

At the age of 7 years, Osho, together with his grandmother, moves to his parents in the small town of Gararwara, where his school years are held. By the way, the school class, where she studied Osho still exists, and there is even worth the party, followed by Osho. You can go to this class, sit at the desk, where in childhood there was so much time our favorite master spent so much time. Unfortunately, to get into this class is the case of the case and luck, depending on which teacher conducts classes in the classroom. But in any case, you can walk around the streets of Gadarvara, visit the primary and high school, the house where Osho lived, the beloved River Osho ...

And the main thing is that on the outskirts of the city there is a quiet, small and cozy Ashram, where there is a place in which at the age of 14 years old experienced a deep sentence of death.

Video from Ashrama Osho in Gadarvar

Jabalpur

Big city with more than a million inhabitants. In Jabalpur, Osho studied at the university, then he worked in him by the teacher and became a professor, but the main thing that at the age of the 21st year gained enlightenment, which happened to him in one of the Jabalpur parks, and the tree under which it happened still grows on Old place.

In Jabalpur, we will live in a quiet and cozy ashram with a magnificent park.

From Ashram it is easy to get to the marble cliffs - the miracle of nature, where he liked to spend time Osho during his stay in Jabalpur.

Varanasi

Varanasi is famous for its cremation bins, which are burning and afternoon, and at night. But there is also surprisingly a pleasant embankment, the famous temple of Cashie Vishvanath, boat walks on Gangu. Next to Varanasi is a small village of Sarnath, a famous fact that the Buddha read his first sermon, and the first listeners were ordinary deer.

Bodhgai

Place of enlightenment Buddha. In the main church of the city, which surrounds a beautiful and extensive park, the tree is still growing in the shade of which he gained the enlightenment of the Buddha.

In addition, in Bodhgaye, there are many of the most diverse Buddhist temples erected by the followers of Buddha from a variety of countries: China, Japan, Tibet, Vietnam, Thailand, Burma ... Every temple has its own unique architecture, the decoration carried out by ceremonies.

Kajuraho

Kajuraho itself is not directly connected with Osho, except that the Tatrian temples of Kajuraho Osho often mentioned, and his grandmother had a direct attitude towards Kajuraho.

Another article from our friend Denis Bashmakov. Denis committed independent travel to India. On the pages of your blog, he tells about traveling in India yourself and what you need to know Those who are just going to go to learn this country. At the end of the article there will be a link to his blog, I advise you to subscribe.

Long I'm going to write about my semi-annual traveling in India Yes, everything will not find time. And now the moment came. Next to pull nowhere.

I'll start with the following. India is uniquely the country that everyone costs to visit everyone. Not the fact that everyone likes it. And all because people are different and everyone has their own personal experience behind their shoulders, their vision and worldview. But, certainly, everyone will find something in India.

These six months flew unnoticed and I really enjoyed staying in this beautiful country. True, as in all and everywhere, at the end I was a little fed up - it was felt that it was necessary to change the situation. And this is normal.

My start from landing in Delhi, in which I eventually spent about 2-3 weeks in a total of and then the roads led me there, but I tried to drive around it. Fair. Especially did not hooked the city. Very noisy, many people, traffic jams, dust, dirt, stinks, etc. Yes, there are also areas more consistent, but in general the picture is similar to those described above.
In addition, there are many attractions and historical sites that can be visited.

Agra. The city in which I was advised to go and see one of the seven wonders of the world - Tajmal in my india's independent journey. But I did not go. Why? I did not feel that I should be there yes, besides, just for the entrance to pay 750 rupees - I did not see the point at all. According to many, in addition to this miracle there is nothing more to look, and the surroundings look far from attractive.

Journey in India yourself: what you need to know

Yes. It is worth noting about tickets to these tourist places. As a rule, the price for local and foreigners differs 10-20 times. These struck me very much every time. Therefore, in many cases, I only photographed outside or found the way to pass for free, which was much less likely. Examples of prices. For local - 10 rupees, for foreigners 200-300. And so almost everywhere. Yes, there are places where you can go through the same prices as local. For example, in the Zoo in Trivandrum I passed for 20 rupees and 4 rupees gave for a storage chamber. There are such places too. Since my journey is budget, I still tried not to spend money on expensive tickets.

Travel to India independently: cities

More than B. traveling in Indiai liked the following cities:
- Chandigarh - for the fact that there is quite clean and well-kept. The whole city is divided into sectors and easy to deal with the map. There are parks in each sector. In general, a convenient city for education, work, life and education of children.

- Udaipur - city of lakes. Beautiful place. Tourist town. There is no urban transport - it was launched, but he was unprofitable. Therefore, in the city you can only notice Tuk-Tuki. And I initially tried to understand why so. Only then, one of the local voiced the answer to the question tormenting me.

- Mumbai (Bombay) is the city of possibilities, the capital of Bollywood. Here you can find absolutely everything. Whether one of the world's largest slums, or one of the most expensive real estate in the world, as well as the richest owners. It is very big. It is convenient that the railway network covers the entire city with suburbs and is quite easy and convenient to get from one place to another, bypassing the plugs. Yes, and prices are very low. For 10 rupees you can go about an hour. Tickets do not particularly check. Therefore, you can play hares.

- Wichapatnam. City in East India, Andra Pradesh staff. Very clean, comfortable and modern city. Wide streets, beautiful roads and movement. In general, everything for life. According to my friend, who invited me there, 20 years ago the city looked as well as many Indian cities that I had to see. But recently, residents and administration have been so actively fought for improvement - the results are evident. You can only add that there is nothing possible - there would be a desire and actively participation.

India Travel Alone: \u200b\u200bPlaces

- Ashram Sai Baba is a wonderful place where you can prone and cheap time. I already wrote about him earlier. Short. This is a minorrod with everything necessary on the territory of the complex. You can live from 20-50 rupees per day and an unlimited amount of time.

- Munnar - tea plantations -Un and quiet edges, fresh air and just one pleasure there is located. True, I mean the areas of plantations themselves, and not the town that has already become very tourist and the price there is very high. It is possible to spend the night in Munnar from 500 rupees and higher.

- Gokkarna. A greater and good beach. Very calm and cozy place to relax with your family or even one if you distract from everything.

While the list of places and cities is such.

All India, all the cities have become one big market at the end of the end. Where you will not come - the market. Absolutely everywhere. It does not matter how modern the city is.

India Independent Travel: Transport

Traveling in India yourself: what else needs to know. In India, a great many different vehicles - ranging from bicycles ending with big wagons. No one keeps the rules. On the roads are always noisy due to constant signals of all drivers. Thus, they warn it. Like, "I'm going for you, do not do sharp movements." Machines are almost all scratched and broken, many old buses. It was even helped to start one with a pusher and then left on it. But despite the movement and non-compliance with the rules, everything is quite normally cut. It should be noted that Probably Indian bus drivers are one of the most skillful.

Sometimes you follow - after all, do not drive, but no. Drive and without scratches and touch with each other. Roads in most cases are very narrow. Public transport is cheap, which allows not bad to save denyuzhki.

Trains and railways are a separate world. Prices are also democratic. Visit India and do not ride in the Geniel class car, then a lot of missing. At the station you can practically live. There are all the conditions. In the waiting rooms you can find and outlets and shower, and toilet. Also on the perforations are cranes where you can dial drinking water, in some cases it is possible to find a cooler with cold water. True, the guys will be too docked on hygiene, and for nothing in the world will not drink such water, only in the bottle. Well, to solve you.

People

This is what, but more people are clinging to me. It does not matter in which state you will find - everywhere I met beautiful, kind and interesting people. Yes. They differ depending on the regions. But everywhere they are ready to help you, treat, and sometimes invite.

I do not know why, Sikhi is a people living in Parjab, left some of the best memories. With them, I have repeatedly met in other areas. They are the same open. I will no longer write about people anymore, there are more emotions and feelings inside that I find it difficult to express in words.

Yes, it is worth saying that the Indians struck me by what is not important in which position they are, whether they have money or not, etc. "They always smile and felt that they are satisfied with what they have." This is definitely worth it for them. Even a disabled person without hands or feet, will always meet you with a smile and satisfied face, despite your condition and difficult conditions.

In many ways, found similarities between India and Russia. Salary (at the time of my stay there) turned out to be approximately similar. Vegetables and fruits grown in the fields are largely the same, with the exception of more southern crops and varieties. Roads as well.

Food in India

Mostly sharp. But you can find and not very. Very much rice. In the south and north the food is different. Also from state to state. But everywhere you can find something for yourself, from which you will not be able to refuse. And sweets most often very sweet. Many diverse fruits that fit in India will enjoy.

India is a center of meditation and yoga. No wonder people go throughout the world. I immediately say, I was not in Rishikeche. There all are sent. It so happened that the first time in my life it was in India that I tried the yoga and passed the meditation. Beautiful things worth useing.

Perhaps the result of a different kind of you wanted to hear, but it turned out exactly such. I will only say the next thing, I will still definitely return to India. She really hooked me (even being in Thailand - now I am lying in a tent on a huge refueling on the road towards Phuket - I constantly remember India and already miss those times).

True, when I find there, the question of time.

My dear friend, if you were not yet in this amazing country - India, be sure to be there to be there. And, yes, it is better not like a tourist, but as a traveler to see real India. Travel Friends and Expand your horizons!

Types of visas for visiting India

The rules of entry into India allow the following types of visas for timing:

1. Overgrown: once enter and leave.
2. Electronic Multivise: You can make entry-departure several times in the year. It is important that the duration of staying in the country in each trip did not exceed 90 days.
3. Multiple: You can run back-back for an unlimited number once, the main thing is that they fit on time. Multiple resolution can be issued for several months. The maximum period is 5 years. In practice, such a visa to get ordinary travelers in 2019 is almost impossible. 3 and 6 months acts a visa obtained in the country's visa center.

In addition to the deadlines, the allowing stamps differ in the goals that the guest's guest is. Visas can be transit, student, business and tourist ones.

Long-term ordinary tourist visa for 3 and 6 months

If you feel about tourists who go to travel more than 90 days, you need to take care of receipt. You can do it in the consulate or visa center. Cases of refusal to issue a 6-month visa happen much more often than when making an electronic permission. Documents must be submitted more.

It is also necessary to make medical tourist insurance.

Before going to one of the departments, it is necessary. It:

• International passport. As for an electronic visa, it must remain valid for at least six months. You also need to attach a copy of the document. It is important that two clean pages for stamps remain in it.
• Questionnaire, simultaneously performing the role and application, and questionnaire.

• Or a hotel invitation with full data about the place of residence and about the tourist, or an invitation of the Indian side.
• Medical insurance policy.

Indian authorities in this case do not require the applicant to present bank statements and. For those traveling to India, children need the same set of documents as to receiving an electronic visa.

If you have not yet chosen time to relax in India, see the following video.

Other types of visas

Each type of visa has its own requirements for the presented package of documents. To what is required for a tourist visa, future Indian students must provide confirmation that they are, as well as evidence of financial ability to live in India throughout the course of training.

For business travelers, invitations are needed by business partners or accompanying letters from companies that guide their employees to seminars, business meetings, etc.

In India, visa-free transit is prohibited, therefore, if you have a transplant in this country, you need to worry about receiving a transit visa in advance. In addition to documents, relevant to tourists, you need to provide a visa to the country and flights from India to the third state.

In practice, such visas in 2019 are rarely issued, and even in the official consulate or visa center cannot give reliable information on the rules for their design. Therefore, tourists receive the usual electronic permission.

Another, quite rarely issued type of permission is a working visa. To get it, you need to be a high-level specialist. As a rule, such a stamp is set to those who concluded a contract with one of the Indian companies.

Rules from Rules - State

In any travel agency, you will be offered a visit to Goa. This is one of the most popular tourist destinations of the Industan Peninsula. The staff is part of India to visit it, you need. Now all travelers on Goa make out an electronic visa.

There are circumstances at which a state is possible without worrying in advance about obtaining permission to enter:

1. Goa is the only purpose of your visit, that is, all vacation you will be held solely on its territory.
2. You go to the staff not one or family, but are decorated by a travel agency as a group that includes at least four tourists.
3. The whole group will go to India on one plane and fly away too.
4. And the task of the tourist was - to appear on the checkpoint by the group, the list of which will be waiting for you at customs.

But in practice, no tour operator is doing this now. Since after the introduction of an electronic visa, this procedure has lost all meaning, and this process is not beneficial for any tour operator, as it requires a large number of papers and permits.

That is, it is formally such a rule, but in practice it is impossible to enter it. No operator provides such conditions to their tourists in the CIS countries, and independent travelers even officially do this cannot.

There is another unpleasant rule regarding the entry of tourists in Goa.

If you arrive in Goa charter flight in 2019, you can fly from this state only a charter flight of this company. So, if you flew around a charter flight, and then you want to fly later, you will need to fly to Russia from another state. So, many of those who remain for the winter in India, go home with a change in Mumbai or Delhi.

Hi friends!

Outside the winter window, right now the snow shakes flakes. First wintering in -10 over the past 3.5 years. A little unusual, but there is an opportunity to collect yourself in a bunch and do that there was not enough time in the roads. This article decided to unpack his Indian experience slightly and tell about what is needed in order for the independent journey to India without shock therapy.

with such pictures of India to write - the most

Behind me, I have a total of more than a year spent within this wonderful country. Here is a small. Read, there are a lot of cross-references on interesting materials :)

India is the country of the winning chaos. The written and unwritten rules here work perfectly in other planes, and more often and do not work at all. Everyone is tutting the gods and an ubiquitous insane heart. From Russian mentality a lot in common. The same faith in its own exclusivity, the smelter and the omnipresent maybe.

Chaos and dirt - the main features of any Indian corner. But so cozy at the same time

It is very easy to "erase your personal history" and become "nobody" (with a capital letter and in the full sense of the word). To be lost, dissolve and reborn. Among the ancient leafy streets, cows and insane askets with red from Gasishe eyes.

As my good comrade said once: in India and Nepal go to treat the souls.

How to start preparation for the journey?

With the adoption of the fact that most likely, all your planning will fly to hell. In India, the very concept of time is very vague. And if the planes fly through quite familiar schedule, then the trains may be late for a day (I do not exit !!!).

The delay of 4-5 hours on the railways of India is considered normal. Therefore, always have time reserve.

Travel planning

Despite the quite expected destruction of all the plans built, it is preparing for a trip. Starting at least from tickets and visas). And let the travel reviews on this wonderful country talk about the opposite)

Visa

In India it is possible to issue long-term tourist visas, for a period of up to 5 years (formally the law is accepted, but I have not yet met real precedents). Most often manage to get a visa for 3 or 6 months. If you are strongly ask, can give Dubble. Cost - about 100 dollars.

The main thing is in the occupation column, do not specify the "photographer" or "journalist". There they do not like them :) For there is nothing to bother with his vision with a bunch of dirt, shit and crippled beggars.

In addition, Russians can get an electronic visa for a period of 2 months.

It is forbidden to work on tour. Visa is forbidden, so if you want to suddenly get on, it can be fraught with problems.

Tickets

I recommend tickets, especially on trains and buses, purchase in advance. 1-1.5 months before the trip. And if you can get closer tickets to buses, even at the last moment, it is very often for the trains that there are no tickets.

I have good friends who are engaged in the development of routes and buying tickets for Indian trains and buses. Recommend. The experience of them - more than 10 years of traveling in India and the approach to business is very professional. Secure tickets, docks and the best route.

Accommodation

Despite the huge amount of accommodation in popular booking systems, you can greatly burn. In India, the concept of "quality of service" is very lame. Even in 3 * hotels, you may encounter dirty sheets and pubic hair in pillows. Therefore, it is better to look in place, or agree on some more proven by other places.

Aid kit

The stomach and immunity of the Russian man is poorly adapted to the conditions of the tropical climate. In India, the phrase "do not give yourself to get sick" should sound like mantra.

Therefore, mandatory objects in your journey should be:

1. Activated carbon
2. Ointment from insect bites (I recommend the "rescuer". It helps to remove itching after all the pussiness)
3. Pancreatin. Acute food can hardly hit the pancreas. And she, according to physicians, is practically not restored.
4. Furosolidon. Wonderful and cheap remedy for any kind of intestinal infections.
5. Sun cream.

All sorts of sprays and ointments from mosquitoes are useless to take from home. On the Indian fauna they do not act at all. In India, many grocery shops, where such things are easy to buy.

It will be not bad for traveling to make insurance. Only, as elsewhere in Asia, it does not cover possible injuries from movement on scooters and motorcycles. Be vigilant and careful.

It happens that they ask about vaccinations before the trip. I did not do it, but if you are very afraid of malaria or tropical dengue fever, it is better to be renewed. Komarnos are very much here. I somehow had a case with a mosquito bite, after which I had a long time for a long time.

Money

If you plan to go with cash, take dollars or euros. Exchange on rupees can be found almost in any tourist place: from to Canyacumari.

There are a lot of "Asketov-Kommersans"

I prefer to travel a savage with bank cards. ATMs can be found even in deaf villages, where such technical innovations against the background of the handmills seem very surreal.

Ensure money is best in ATBA ATBA and Canara Bank. They do not take a commission for a navigate.

Traditions that need to know to be safe

All India is conservative and traditional. Therefore, so as not to be suddenly in an uncomfortable (and even dangerous) position, you need to show vigilance and know some traditions.

For women

Allow this item especially, for the stemmaticomicosis in men in society with depressed sexuality comes to very dangerous forms.

1. With local men show modesty. Politely, but without embarking smiles. Otherwise, it can be perceived as a signal of availability.
2. Close your charms. Tight clothing and screaming makeup also send a "signal".
3. Attempts to shake you a handle better answer the "Nemiment" with his chest.
4. Large clusters of the people are better to bypass.
5. Selfie with Indian Lovelas often leads to the fact that your photo will be posted on Facebook with the signature "I and my girl." This happens with enviable constancy, regardless of state. More often 1 Self wrapped in a whole self-session with all those who wish.

Of course, it is not worth falling into paranoia, but be useful for a check.

More quiet in this regard - Buddhist districts of India:, Sikkim.

For all others

In India, aggression is perceived as something very out of a series of outgoing. That is why our not the most prosperous compatriots love to brag by their "Indian victories." Hindus simply fall into a stupor, which can sometimes lead to very poorly situations.

Do not deceive yourself

India is the country of the winning heart. Here, since ancient times, learned to delight the reels of the backs of novice-spaces. (Here they are called "Fresh Chicken": literally "fresh chicken"). Therefore, attempts to deceive here will be constantly. It pleases that 99% of such attempts are childish naive and harmless.

It is better to relax immediately and even with the deceit deceit to maintain the fun arrangement of the Spirit. Consider that this is a game whose price is 50-100 rubles. Agree, not a high fee for the new most interesting experience).

Hindus, when they catch them on deception, most often blurred in a smile, swing their heads and say "Okay". Like, "not rolled and okay." Even offended by them does not work.

Indian divorce in Varanasi

However, you can't lose your vigilance! It is possible to show perseverance and even need. Only without aggression. The latter is not at all in honor. She is offensive and disadvantaged.

The most common divorces are as follows:

1. Taxi in Delhi. "Are you for the first time in India?". If you answer the affirmative, there will be a presentation: "Oh, your hotel burned down. But I know one very and very good place. " In general, you will bring you there, where a small Magarych will rely taxist. The price will be called 2-3 times higher than the market.
2. "Roads are blocked and no places." Another old as the world is divorced mainly in Delhi. Typically, the same taxi drivers that you tell you that you are going somewhere north, like.
3. Cleankers ears. The divorce of years is more than Mahabharat. Sometimes these comrades may be no discount, "completely free" to pull the horse from your ear and half the chicken eaten in the morning. When I saw a wrapping cleaner in the ear of a cute white girl, I realized that this divorce would still live sooooo long.
4. Pressure on pity. "I have 5 children, and today I know a business ... pliz, give a TIP itself." In general, the classic history of the service personnel: from Ricks drivers to waiters in a cafe.
5. well, another +100 all sorts of small divorces.

Determine the divorce is simple enough: if someone offers you your services "just so", most likely it is not free. This is very often found in tourist sites, type Goa. On the road and in the villages, I have not met. On the contrary - only sincere desire to help, in which I have repeatedly convinced throughout our and after, on the road.
