Question

What will the weather be like?

Answer

The weather is usually cool and pleasant during the day with colder evenings. Expect daytime temperatures around 60–70°F (15–21°C) and nighttime temperatures dropping to 40–50°F (4–10°C). We recommend bringing layers, including a light to medium jacket or shawl, especially for evening events.

Question

What currency should I bring?

Answer

India uses the Indian Rupee (INR), which is a closed currency. You likely won’t be able to get it before arriving. We recommend bringing U.S. dollars or another major currency to exchange at the airport, authorized money changers, or banks once you land in India. Most hotels and larger shops accept major credit cards, but it’s always good to have cash for smaller vendors and markets. Let your bank know you're traveling to India to avoid any issues with card use.

Question

Do I need a power adapter or converter for my electronics in India?

Answer

We recommend bringing a universal power adapter, India uses 220V outlets. Make sure your electronics are rated for 220V (most modern electronics are) to avoid damage. If your device only supports 110V, you’ll also need a voltage converter to avoid damaging it.
