Simple restaurants (dhabas) serving local food are found everywhere. Western food is available in big towns but less so elsewhere. Although the appearance of many food places is below the standard you would accept in your home country, the food is usually good and safe. A general rule regarding restaurants is that if it is popular with locals it is good; if there is nobody in sight, find another place. Don’t eat if the food is not hot or fresh. Choose bottled or hot drinks.

Some simple precautions can save you from trouble. Use safety-pockets/moneybelts for your important documents, credit cards, and so on. Divide your money and keep it in a few different places; carry only a small amount of cash in your wallet. Never leave your luggage with a stranger, even for a moment. On a train, secure your big bag under a seat with a chain and lock, and keep a smaller bag, if you have one, with you at all times. Be wary on buses; avoid putting bags on the roof if possible. In the street or on public transport, hold your bag close and do not carry or wear anything that looks obviously valuable. Keep your camera in a bag and only get it out to take a photograph. Have your own padlock to secure your hotel room door.
