Things To Do
in Nāndūra Buzurg

Small periodic market where vendors sell fresh produce, spices, snacks like bhajiya and samosas, sweets and basic household items—great for tasting local street food and buying ingredients.

In the nearest town you'll find permanent stalls offering chaat, kachori, jalebi and grilled kebabs—ideal for sampling a broader range of North Indian street foods.

Greet elders first, show deference and accept invitations politely—using both hands to give or receive items is considered respectful.

Wear modest clothing that covers shoulders and knees, especially when visiting temples or conservative households; women may prefer loose, long garments.

Remove shoes before entering homes and many religious sites; follow the host's lead and ask if unsure.

Ask permission before photographing people, especially women and children; a smile and a simple greeting ('Namaste') helps obtain consent.

Tipping is not obligatory in village settings but is appreciated for good service—small amounts (50–200 INR) for guides, drivers or homestay hosts are welcome. In nearby town restaurants, a 5–10% tip is acceptable if service is not included.

Cash (INR) is the most widely accepted form of payment in the village; many small shops will not accept cards. Mobile payments (UPI, Paytm) are increasingly common—ask your host about local options. ATMs and banks are located in the nearest town; plan cash withdrawals in advance.

Hot and dry from April to June; temperatures can be high mid-day. Schedule outdoor activities for early morning or late afternoon, carry plenty of water, sunscreen and lightweight clothing. Village life is still active but many people rest during the hottest hours.

Monsoon (June to September) brings heavy rains that green the landscape and refresh crops but can also cause muddy roads and occasional localized flooding. Pack waterproof footwear and a light rain jacket; travel times to and from the village may be longer.

Cool and pleasant from November to February with chilly mornings and mild days—ideal for comfortable sightseeing and photography. Nights can be cold, so bring warm layers for early mornings and evenings.

Transitional months (March–April and October) offer mild temperatures, clear skies and active agricultural work such as sowing or harvest—good seasons for cultural experiences and village visits.

Cricket is the most popular sport—informal matches are common in fields and school grounds, and joining or watching a game is a great way to connect with locals.

Traditional team games such as kabaddi are played in village tournaments, especially during festivals and school events.
