Things To Do
in Narwāna

Thick, often sweetened yogurt drink served in dhabas and sweet shops — a must-try to cool off on hot days.

Must-Try!

Stuffed wheat flatbread with potato and spices, commonly served with butter or pickles at roadside eateries.

Classic winter dish of mustard greens with cornmeal flatbread; best in colder months when greens are fresh.

Spiced chickpea curry with deep-fried bread — a filling favorite for breakfast or lunch at local dhabas.

Daily vegetable and fruit market where you can sample fresh seasonal produce and street snacks like samosas and chaat.

Clusters of stalls near busier crossroads that sell jalebi, pakoras, and fresh lassi — perfect for casual evening tasting.

Use Namaste or Ram Ram as a polite greeting; elders are shown respect — a light nod or touching the feet in very traditional households may be seen.

Dress modestly, especially for women when visiting temples, gurudwaras or rural homes — cover shoulders and avoid short skirts or shorts in conservative settings.

Use the right hand for eating and passing items; accept food with politeness and remove footwear where required before entering religious places or homes.

Always ask permission before photographing people, particularly women and in religious settings.

Tipping is modest: round up bills at restaurants, give small change to porters and 10% in nicer restaurants if service is good; give small tokens (Rs. 20–50) to guides or drivers for day trips.

Cash (Indian rupees) remains widely used for markets and dhabas; digital payments (UPI apps like Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm) are commonly accepted in shops and by many vendors, while credit cards are accepted at bigger hotels and stores.

Hot and dry from April to June with daytime temperatures often very high; plan outdoor activities for early morning or late evening and carry water, sun protection and a hat.

June to September brings intermittent rains and higher humidity; roads can get muddy in rural areas, so have flexible travel plans and waterproof footwear.

October–November is pleasant with moderate temperatures and clear skies — a comfortable time for sightseeing and village walks.

December to February can be chilly, especially mornings and nights; clear air makes it the best season for photography and enjoying seasonal dishes like sarson ka saag.

Vegetarian food is easy to find; many eateries serve purely vegetarian meals or have multiple veg options. Ask about the use of ghee or butter if you avoid dairy.

Vegan choices exist but are more limited; opt for simple lentil dishes, vegetable curries and rotis without ghee, and confirm cooking oil types at dhabas.

Wheat is dominant in the local diet; gluten-free visitors should specify millet-based breads (bajra) when available and avoid fried breads like bhature.

You can find meat shops and eateries that prepare halal meat, but ask locally to confirm; many small dhabas serve vegetarian options as an alternative.
