No need to chase rainbows when you can make sure they\u2019re on your India packing list and you have a firm grip on what to wear and not wear in India<\/a>. Here\u2019s your opportunity to stand out by adding a kaleidoscope of colour to your India wardrobe, just like your vibrant Indian hosts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Add<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Whether your travels take you to the sacred sites of the Golden Triangle or the swaying palms of Kerala in the south, your travel wardrobe should feature an array of modest yet colourful outfits that will reflect the radiant and rich culture you\u2019re about to discover for yourself.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They don\u2019t call India a sub-continent for nothing. This sizeable country (the seventh-largest in the world in fact), stretches from the great heights of the Himalayas in the north, to the tropical and wet south. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It goes without saying that what you pack will depend on where you\u2019re travelling to and when, but generally speaking prepare yourself for heat. But that doesn\u2019t mean strappy tops and short shorts should be your go-to options if you want to fit in with the modest locals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to wear in India <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Your<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The rule of thumb for what to wear in India is typically to keep your legs and shoulders covered. This is especially the case when visiting smaller cities, villages, religious or spiritual grounds and temples.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, there are some exceptions in larger cities, but you\u2019ll find that it\u2019s also practical to keep your legs and shoulders covered to protect your skin from the searing sun. Beat the heat by wearing loose-fitting clothes, preferably natural fibres which are quick to dry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you choose to add a strapless top or shorts to your India packing list, make sure you\u2019ve included a light button-down shirt and sarong in your bag which you can throw on if it gets too unbearable, or you need to cover up because you\u2019re visiting a religious site. It\u2019s important to note that you have to cover your shoulders and knees when visiting temples, whether you’re male or female. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Your<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Resist the urge to fill up your India packing list with an outfit for every day as you\u2019ll want to stock up on some local favourites, which are very affordable and will be a great reminder of your epic journey through India. Even if you\u2019re not a keen shopper, you\u2019ll be thrilled with the addition of a stylish and comfortable kurta <\/em>(tunic) <\/em>or perhaps a colourful sari <\/em>to your wardrobe.   <\/em>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

EXPERIENCE IT FOR YOURSELF<\/em><\/strong>:\u00a0Best of India<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What not to wear in India <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Include<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Leave behind anything tight, revealing or expensive. Not only will the inappropriate attire attract unwanted attention, but the climate in India also isn\u2019t forgiving of anything that clings to the skin. If you are planning on wearing tight-fitting trousers like leggings, make sure you\u2019re wearing a long shirt and avoid anything that shows cleavage, shoulders and knees.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also remove high heels from your India packing list. You\u2019ll need comfortable shoes such as sandals that absorb moisture and provide sufficient support for the walking you\u2019re likely to do. You\u2019ll also be grateful for footwear that is easy to slip on or off when you\u2019re visiting holy sites which require you to remove your shoes before entering.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Dress<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, and although this bit of advice on what not to wear in India isn\u2019t mandatory, you\u2019ll fit right in if you follow it. Don\u2019t be afraid of adding a pop of colour before you zip your luggage up. The locals love bright colours, so beige is out and bright pink is in.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your India Packing List <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Scarf<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t pack one, pack two! You\u2019ll be glad you have a spare at all times whether you use it to cover your shoulders when entering religious sites, shielding your face from the dust or simply to keep you covered when the sun sets and it gets chilly.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Water bottle with filter<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

India\u2019s tap water is certainly not drinkable and you\u2019ll need to stay hydrated in such a hot climate. Don\u2019t leave home without a water bottle that has a filter so that you can drink the local tap water with peace of mind and of course, help to keep your environmental footprint low.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over-the-Counter Medication<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Make sure you\u2019ve added over-the-counter medication to your India packing list, such as painkillers and charcoal tablets for the dreaded Delhi Belly, plus rehydration sachets should you get sick.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Small towel, hand wipes, tissues and hand sanitiser<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Don’t get caught in a public restroom without access to toilet paper, soap and paper towels. Nip that in the bud by adding tissues and hand wipes to your India trip planner so you can navigate India\u2019s sometimes unhygienic public spaces with peace of mind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sensory support<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"India<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You may well want to experience the full-on sensory experience that India delivers without dulling these. But, if it does get too much, you\u2019ll be grateful you packed your earplugs, noise-cancelling headphones and sunglasses to take the edge off, even if just for a short time-out.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your India trip planner is complete. All that\u2019s left is to double-check that your packing list is intact and start dreaming about your epic trip to India<\/a>.
