Things To Do
in Nādbai

The town market where vendors sell fresh produce, samosas, kachori, sweets and chai; great for trying cheap, local street snacks and seasonal fruit.

If your visit coincides with market day, the haat offers regional produce, roadside food stalls and traditional snacks — an excellent place to sample local flavors.

Use 'Namaste' with folded palms for polite greetings; show deference to elders and remove shoes before entering homes and temples.

Dress modestly, especially for women—cover shoulders and knees when visiting religious sites or rural areas.

Use the right hand for eating and passing items; avoid touching people’s heads and be mindful when photographing religious ceremonies—ask permission.

Public displays of affection are uncommon and can attract attention; participating respectfully in local festivals is welcome but follow community customs.

Tipping is appreciated but modest: 5–10% in restaurants if no service charge is included; rounding up fares for auto-rickshaws and small tips for porters/hotel staff are common. For guides and drivers on day trips, tip according to service (small daily amount or 5–10%).

Cash (Indian rupees) remains widely used for small purchases, markets and dhabas. Digital payments (UPI apps like Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm) are common in shops and restaurants. ATMs are available in town but may be limited — withdraw cash in nearby Bharatpur for more options.
