Check the weather forecasts for each region on your itinerary \u2014 hill stations and northern destinations will require heavy clothing, while coastal and southern cities call for light cotton clothing. Modest dressing is appreciated across most of India; a simple kurta, loose trousers or a dupatta\/shawl takes you a long way in terms of both comfort and respect.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the baggage side, review <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tripbeam.com\/blog\/these-are-the-airline-baggage-rules-in-india-you-need-to-follow\"><b>airline baggage rules<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> before you fly \u2014 fees have been shifting recently across several carriers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Book_Your_Flights_and_Hotels_Early\"><\/span><b>5.
