Travel Tips

India has good coverage in cities and along major highways, but rural and mountainous areas may have limited signal. Getting a local Indian SIM as a tourist is notoriously difficult, making eSIM the ideal solution. Budget 2-4GB per week as you will rely heavily on maps and ride-hailing apps. UPI payments are common, but tourists typically use cash or cards.
