India is a country of bright colors, hot spices and Bollywood. But in addition to unforgettable impressions, it is fraught with dangers, which are important to learn about before traveling.

Water
Indian water is filled with bacteria that cause disease. Local residents are immune to these microorganisms. But the bodies of tourists are defenseless against these viruses. Therefore, travelers need to learn one rule. In India only bottled water is allowed. This rule will relieve digestive problems.
Roads
The quality of Indian roads is poor. They are covered with pits, potholes and potholes. Some roads end with steps, which leads to accidents. Indian drivers neglect road discipline. Everyone drives the way they want. An exception is made in cases in which policemen are standing at a traffic light. Driving in India is undesirable.
Food
Meat eaters will immediately notice Indian menus. They all consist of vegetarian options. Another characteristic of the local cuisine is the abundance of spices. It will not be easy for a Russian tourist to cope with such a variety of flavors. Experienced travelers are advised to ask the waiters in advance to add less seasoning to the dish.
Insects
Indian insect bites backfire. Mosquitoes cause malaria. Wasps are harmless, but they contribute to the manifestation of an allergic reaction. Ants in the country appear from everywhere. It is worth leaving crumbs or sugar on the table, as they run down into tidbits. Therefore, it is important to monitor the sterility in the room.
