Travel tips

  1. 01

    Remove shoes before temple inner shrines and home entrances in Bali — street footwear stays outside.

  2. 02

    Keep voices low in temples, trains, and residential lanes — volume is noticed more than crowd size.

  3. 03

    Queue patiently at ticket counters; don't cut lines at busy heritage sights in Bali.

  4. 04

    Ask before photographing monks, worshippers, or village homes — a quiet nod beats a surprise flash.

  5. 05

    Carry litter off beaches and heritage walks in Bali until you find a bin — leave no plastic behind.

  6. 06

    Pack a light cotton stole for temple visits — covered shoulders and knees are expected at sacred sites.

  7. 07

    Bargain calmly at markets; a smile and a polite walk-away work better than raised voices.

  8. 08

    Hand cash and food with your right hand where local custom matters at small eateries and guesthouses.

  9. 09

    Tip modestly for good service, but don't shout or toss coins — calm courtesy represents India well abroad.
