what not to wearwhat not to wear

In general, Indians view showing leg and shoulders as immodest, so you'll find that Indians dress to conceal the lower body and chest, but are okay showing belly. Acceptability varies depending on location, but outside your hotel room, wearing these things should be avoided. Please note that this is mainly for a better overall guest experience, in a country where you will already attract quite a bit of attention as a foreigner. tight pants strapless tops spaghetti straps dresses or skirts above the knee braless looks

Do's and Don'tsDo's and Don'ts

DO remove your shoes when entering someone's home or private hotel room. DO stick to drinking only bottled water. Leave your Hydro Flask at home for this one. DO carry cash. 100 & 500 rupee bills will be very useful. DO come prepared eat spicier foods than you get in the United States. DONT wander by yourself at night. DONT exhibit PDA beyond hugs & hand-holding. DONT be overly friendly with anyone of the opposite gender. (Midwesterners, I'm looking at you). DONT pack your own hairdryer. Hotels will have them, and you don't want to risk ruining yours with India's higher voltage. Most voltage converters cannot support them either. DO check out the guide linked below for the most accurate and comprehensive advice for women travellers in India.
