Travel Tips for East India

Choose the best time to visit

Best seasons: October–March for pleasant days and clear skies; monsoon (June–September) brings heavy rains and flooding in some areas.

Book Wildlife Safaris Early

For Sundarbans, Kaziranga reserves, secure permits and jeep/boat slots at least 2–3 weeks in advance.

Use Regional Transport Apps

In cities like Kolkata use ride-hail apps (Ola, Uber, Rapido) or app-based e-rickshaws to avoid bargaining and ensure safe travel.

Carry Cash & Small Change

Many rural markets, ferries, temple donations, and tea-stalls accept only cash; keep small denominations (₹10–₹100) handy.

Learn Basic Local Phrases

A few words in Bengali, Odia, Assamese is appreciated but just Hindi goes a long way with locals.

Respect Temple Etiquette

Remove footwear, dress modestly, and follow photography rules when visiting religious sites.

Sample Regional Cuisine Safely

Try street foods like puchka (pani puri), momos, litti-chokha, and fish curry—choose busy stalls with high turnover to ensure freshness.
