A bustling market day where farmers and vendors sell produce, spices and snacks; ideal for trying local fruit, fresh chutneys and fried snacks.

Evening food stalls near the bus stand and temple selling chai, dosas, bajjis, and sweets—perfect for sampling inexpensive local flavors.

Dress modestly in public — covered shoulders and knees are appreciated, especially at temples and traditional neighborhoods.

Remove shoes and follow local rules when entering temples; ask before taking photos of religious rituals. Respect prayer times and gender-specific customs where applicable.

A simple ‘Namaste’ with folded hands is a polite greeting. Use polite language and avoid loud or confrontational behavior in public.

Locals are often welcoming — accept invitations when comfortable and reciprocate with polite curiosity; gifts such as sweets are appreciated but not expected.

Tipping is modest: round up bills at small eateries, tip 5–10% at sit-down restaurants when service is good, and give a small tip (20–50 INR) to porters, drivers and guides. Tipping is appreciated but not obligatory for everyday transactions.

Cash (Indian Rupees) is widely used, especially in small shops and markets. Digital payments (UPI, Paytm, phone-based apps) are increasingly accepted; major hotels and restaurants may accept cards but always carry cash for rural areas.

Summers are hot and dry; expect daytime temperatures to be high and plan early-morning and late-evening activities. Stay hydrated, wear sun protection and avoid strenuous midday walks. Lightweight cotton clothes and sunscreen are essential.
