Dress modestly to respect local culture. Cover your shoulders and knees when exploring the narrow streets and markets.

Stick to well lit main streets and avoid dark alleys. It is best to use registered taxis for late night travel.

Walking is the best way to see the sights. For longer distances, use local bajajis or taxis to reach your destination.
