3. Use Public Transport Wisely: While exploring cities, auto-rickshaws are a popular and affordable mode of transport. Always agree on the fare before starting your journey to avoid misunderstandings. If you're not fluent in Punjabi, it might be helpful to ask locals for guidance on transportation options.
4. Stay Hydrated and Pack Accordingly: Depending on the season, pack appropriate clothing cotton garments for the hot summer months and warm woolens for the winter when temperatures can drop significantly. Always carry water with you, especially during summer, to stay hydrated.
5. Respect Local Customs: Be mindful of local traditions and customs, especially when visiting religious sites. For instance, do not feed fish in the Sarovar (holy tank) at the Golden Temple, as it is considered disrespectful. Engaging respectfully with locals can enhance your travel experience.
