Must-Try!

Locally-grown vegetables prepared with simple spices and ghee; asking for less oil or no ghee is usually possible in small eateries.

A polite 'Namaste' with folded hands is a common and appreciated greeting. Show deference to elders and avoid interrupting elders in conversation.

Remove shoes before entering temples and dress modestly (covered shoulders and knees) — women may prefer to wear a shawl when visiting religious sites.

Always ask permission before photographing people, especially women and children; some people may expect a small fee for posed portraits.

Hot and dry from April to June with daytime temperatures often high — plan outdoor activities for early morning or late afternoon, stay hydrated and wear sun protection.

June to September brings seasonal rains that make the countryside lush but can cause muddy roads and occasional local flooding — expect interruptions to travel and bring waterproof footwear and insect repellent.

November to February is pleasantly cool, with chilly mornings and nights — ideal for sightseeing and outdoor walks; carry a warm layer for early mornings and evenings.

Short, accessible hikes to a nearby hillock offering panoramic views of the surrounding fields; best at sunrise or late afternoon.

Easy trails along the local river or pond suitable for gentle walks, birdwatching and picnic stops.

A short trail through a small wooded area or community grove where you can observe seasonal flora and fauna — avoid during heavy monsoon for slippery paths.

Many residents are engaged in agriculture and allied activities, forming the backbone of local social and economic life.

Shopkeepers, market vendors and local craftsmen who run the daily markets and traditional workshops.

Younger people often move seasonally or permanently to nearby towns and cities for education and work, while maintaining family ties to the village.

A traditional contact sport that remains popular in rural areas, often featured at local fairs and festivals.

Traditional wrestling in akharas (wrestling pits) is still practiced in some regions and showcased during local competitions.

Vegetarian options are widely available and often the default in many homes and eateries. Ask for no ghee or butter if you want strictly plant-based food, and double-check when eating sweets or fried items.

Vegan choices are possible but require asking about dairy (ghee, curd). Gluten-free options (rice-based dishes, lentils) exist but cross-contamination in shared kitchens is common; bring snacks if you have strict needs.

Labeling is uncommon; communicate allergies clearly in Hindi or using a note. Carry any essential medication and consider eating at cleaner, busier stalls or established dhabas.
