You‘re going to have an unbelievable time in India and now you know about two fantastic options for calling from India to the U.S. Here are a few other important items you should be prepared to confront:

  • In development. India is as famous for its beautiful scenery as it is for its emerging economy and enormous influence in the high-tech world. However, it is also recognized for its significantly high rate of poverty. You‘ll find that overcrowding is prevalent in many cities, yes, even in the more prosperous. You should prepare yourself emotionally to encounter some visible misfortune on your travels.
  • Hydration nation. Whether you‘re in a monsoon- drenched or desert-covered area of India, you‘ll need a ready supply of clean water that you can trust. It‘s always a good idea to boil open-source water (for example, from a tap), but you can try bottled water as well, though you‘ll be adding to the unnecessary plastic waste. Just make sure the seal is intact before drinking, and that the bottle doesn‘t look as if it was previously crushed/overly dented. Water-purification tablets are an even easier option and much more cost effective.
  • Rest well. A lot of U.S. travelers who spend excessive time overseas in hot, humid nations eventually experience something called tropical fatigue. Besides the weather/climate, the main causes are emotional and mental strain due to a lack of proper relaxation, heavy drinking and partying or over-exertion at work or study. So take it easy on yourself.
