"As someone who's lived in India my whole life, I've seen it all: the chaos of a Delhi market at noon, the quiet streets of a Rajasthan village, and the seemingly endless railway platforms where people jostle for a spot on a train. Visitors often come expecting a single "India experience," but having lived in big cities and small towns, I know that the country changes every few hundred miles."
"As someone born and raised here, I've explored all of India and met many first-time tourists. I've also seen visitors make the same mistakes when planning and embarking on their trips.

India changes every few hundred miles, with distinct cuisines, customs, and social norms across regions. Markets, villages, and railway platforms present widely different experiences ranging from busy Delhi bazaars to quiet Rajasthan streets and crowded train platforms. First-time visitors often expect a single unified 'India experience' and arrive unprepared for regional variation. Learning a few local customs reduces misunderstandings and respecting regional etiquette improves interactions. Following local crowds when choosing street-food vendors can lower food-safety risk. Researching regional differences, remaining adaptable, and observing local patterns improves safety and enjoyment while traveling across India.
