Things To Do
in Narwar

Flattened rice breakfast popular in central India; lightly spiced with peanuts, mustard seeds and herbs. Found at local breakfast stalls and markets.

Must-Try!

Wheat dough balls baked or boiled then smeared with ghee and served with lentils — a rustic, filling dish available at some traditional eateries and festival stalls.

A grated-corn, spiced and milk-cooked snack or side dish typical in the region, often sold by street vendors and small restaurants.

Grilled meat skewers available at dhabas and roadside grills; seek out busy places for the best freshness.

A weekly or daily market where vendors sell vegetables, snacks, sweets and tea; great for sampling local produce, fresh fried snacks and seasonal sweets.

Small clusters of vendors near transport hubs offering chaat, samosas, kachori and tea — frequently busy and reliable for quick bites.

A traditional Namaste (hands together) is a polite greeting; a handshake is common among men in urban settings, but wait for the other person to offer in conservative contexts.

Remove shoes before entering temples and dress modestly — cover shoulders and knees, especially in religious places.

Always ask permission before photographing people, particularly women and religious ceremonies. Some sites may restrict photography.

Avoid public displays of affection and be respectful during local festivals or rituals. When offered food or hospitality, accept politely if possible as it’s considered gracious.

Tipping is appreciated but not always expected: round up small bills for rickshaw drivers, tip 5-10% at restaurants where service is provided, and give a small amount to hotel staff or guides based on service.

Cash (Indian rupees) is essential in Narwar for street food, markets and small shops. Many larger establishments accept cards and UPI/QR payments, but mobile payment acceptance varies — keep cash on hand.

March to June brings hot, dry conditions with daytime temperatures often high; plan outdoor activities for early morning or late afternoon and carry plenty of water and sun protection.

June to September sees seasonal rains that green the countryside and reduce dust but can make some dirt roads muddy and flash local streams; bring waterproof gear and be flexible with travel plans.

October to November offers pleasant temperatures, clearer skies and good conditions for sightseeing, photography and short hikes.

December to February is cool to chilly in the morning and evening, comfortable during the day; nights can be cold so bring layers, especially for overnight stays.

Vegetarian options are plentiful — lentils, vegetable curries, rotis and rice are staples. Specify “main mirch kam” (less spice) if you prefer milder food and watch for ghee or butter if you avoid dairy.

Vegan choices are possible (dal, vegetables, plain rotis) but clarify avoidance of ghee, yogurt and paneer. Carry snacks if you need consistent vegan options.

Rice-based dishes and some lentil preparations are safe; many breads contain wheat, so request rice or vegetable dishes when eating out. Cross-contamination is possible at busy stalls.

Drink bottled or boiled water; eat from busy vendors and opt for freshly cooked items to reduce risk of stomach upset.
