Packing List

Packing tips:

Hydration is key and water alone is not enough. Salts and minerals are essential. Emergen-C packets are good.

Plan to sweat. Less is not always more, unless you plan to get clothing in India, pack enough clothes for changing during the day.

Bring only fun dark colored socks. I was told to bring only black or colored socks by a friend when packing for my first trip to India. Here is why: it is dusty. The dust will follow you around and your white socks will never look white and clean again. Go wild with prints and you will have happy feet.
BRING YOUR OWN MEDICATION. Generics are available for most prescriptions but prices have gone up.
Consider purchasing a cell phone in India. Personally I have found it easier to acquire and use an Indian phone. Phones are relatively inexpensive and require a passport photo for documentation during purchase.

When it comes to electronics keep in mind
- Dust dirt and more dirt dust
- India voltage is 220, check your electronics (flat irons included) so they don’t fry.
- Electronics run hotter on 220 voltage. Combine with Delhi heat things can over heat.
- Plug adapters, like those pictured below work well. Choose India specific adapters. The “universal” adapters are cumbersome.
