Are rare but if you happen, laugh and insist that they bring you to your hotel. The good humor and calm always work.

5. Massages. Do not accept unless you're looking for something more than a massage, offering employees pensions, hotels, acquaintances, etc. to do a massage if it is a specialized site. Some tourists have been uncomfortable to be carefully checked, little by little, that the masseur had his own intentions but, meanwhile, rushed for not offend because they were not sure, have gone off their clothes.

When one tries to explain, if they agree, make this movement means just that, they agree.

9. Dress appropriately. In most parts of India, are not accustomed to the use of European clothing. Especially if you're a woman, it is best to wear modest attire. No tight clothes, short sleeves, at least long pants and bra. A neck foullard somehow equivalent to dupata carrying them. Moreover, the salwar shirt, casual dress of Indian women, is very comfortable, nice and usable upon return. It consists of trousers, wide or narrow, a blouse, long or short, and dupata.

10. Do not take drugs or food. Do not take cannabis or other drugs from strangers, and sometimes even food, especially at the stations. Some travelers have awakened long after trains than those who wanted to go elsewhere, and without luggage.
