What cultural considerations should one take
care of while touring in India?
India has a very traditional and religious society.
Its cultures and customs are very different
to western cultural ideas. We ask you as guests
in this amazing country to respond to these
sometimes-bizarre differences with sensitivity
and respect.
We do request you to dress conservatively -
both men and women should wear clothing that
covers knees and shoulders (when visiting mosques
and temples). Nudity is totally taboo, when
swimming please do wear a swimsuit.
Try to avoid any public display of affection.
When entering mosques, temples and places of
religious worship or private homes - please
remove your shoes. Many Hindu temples are not
open to non-Hindus. Always ask permission before
entering. Mosques may have limited visiting
times for non-Muslims.
Some detailed information about passport
& visa:
Passport
You must be in possession of a valid passport,
which will not expire for at least six months
after your journey is due to end. It should
have to clear pages for entry and exit stamps
as well as your visa.
A wise precaution is to carry a photocopy of
your passport kept separately, extremely useful
in the event of loss or theft.
Visa
All visitors to India require a visa that must
be obtained from an Indian High Commission or
Consulate. You would need to use two addresses
in India and do let us know for the same as
it is normal to give our company's (COMPASS
INDIA) and our director's address on the same.
For postal applications passports should be
sent by registered post and include a registered
post paid return addressed envelope. Applications
should be on the official visa form available
from a local travel agent. Alternatively in
some countries the form can be downloaded from
the Embassies' official WEBSITE. All applications
should include 3 passport-sized photographs.
Your local travel agent or nearest Embassy will
be able to inform you of the latest application
fee.
Where to shop and how to be sure of the product
& the price? Should we be confident of going
with the guide?
India can be described as a shopper's paradise
with products such as hand-woven rugs, inlaid
marble, semi-precious stone jewelry, silk fabrics,
brassware, etc. India's diversity is expressed
though the creation of master craftspeople.
Each state has a unique handicraft to proudly
reflect the inherited and improved skills to
near perfection. Souvenir shops and art &
craft emporiums are to be found everywhere.
Consult your guidebook or the local guides and
people. Usually the "pavement markets"
do not guarantee the products and they do not
accept credit / debit cards. Genuine products
can only be guaranteed at a government showroom
or branded showroom, i.e. Cottage Industries,
etc.
Shopping can be one of the ways to interact
with a local. For people who like to bargain,
shopping is a true pleasure. For others, fixed
priced stores are a relief. Whatever transaction
you prefer, we hope your purchase that was made
in India, will remind you of your trip.
Yes, the guides do take you to shops and showrooms,
while you are on tour. You can say "no"
when you don't want to visit the shops or not
interested in shopping with a guide. But when
you do visit the store with the guide, you do
not necessarily pay a higher price for a substandard
product. As this is a worldwide phenomenon,
we accept it too with its "blues".
What we have done is, selected a few stores
both privately owned & government owned
but in both cases Government recognized) at
important destinations, where we are sure of
two things;
1) Quality of the product
2) The product if too heavy should be delivered
at your doorstep without any extra cost even
if the extra cost needs to be added to the price
of the product.
As for price, some are fixed price & some
are bargain shops. So go ahead and have FUN!!!
For lists of authorized shops do let us know.
How is one sure of the authenticity / qualification
/ credentials of the guides?
We have a panel of guides with ranks and only
use them, and in most cases they would be satisfactory.
Government licensed guides are always preferred
by Compass India Inc. There are training courses
and exams for the same and chances are less
that you will be unhappy if you go with one.
Their daily rates and wages are Government fixed.
Note that the guide usually is there during
lunch and it is not an obligation to buy him/her
lunch. If there are ever any problems 9The Guide
cannot speak the language well, too fast while
you would like to spend more time at the monuments,
etc. do let us know so that we can change the
guide.
Are the monument entrance fees included in
the tour cost?
The monument entrance fees are usually not
included in the tour cost. It is not a problem
when the same is included but when it is not,
you need to keep small change for the same.
Usually you need to take the tickets yourself
but can request the guide who would be happy
to oblige. We also have detailed lists of monuments
with the entrance fees and camera charges. Do
request us for the same if you want to have
a good idea when the same is not included in
your tour cost.
General Information:
Insurance
While traveling in India it is important that
you obtain good personal travel insurance from
an insurance agent in your country. A suitable
policy will include an unlimited amount for
medical, hospital and additional health associated
costs.
Most policies cover loss of baggage, personal
money (usually limited) delay and curtailment.
Do make sure your policy covers you for unexpected
cancellation of your trip in this unlikely event
you will then be covered for financial cost.
You should carry your insurance policy with
you at all time, preferably in your relevant
details in a separate place, with your passport
photocopy.
Tipping
Tipping is an inherent part of life in India.
It is one of the most effective ways to communicate
how you felt about the service provided. It
is common practice to tip porters, drivers,
wait staff, toilet attendants and guides. It
is not necessary to tip rickshaw drivers. Please
note that you are not obliged to tip and it
is entirely to your discretion. Please refer
to http://www.tipping.org/tips/TipsPageIndia.html
for tipping standards. Please let us know if
you want some guidelines on the same but usually
it is "what you feel is appropriate".
A
general idea would be as follows:
Bellboys: Rs. 10 - 20 (1/4th US$) per bag
Drivers: Rs. 200 (5 US$) per day & Rs.100
(2 US$) per half day
Day Guides: Rs. 250 to 400 (6 - 8 US$)
Restaurants: 5% of the bill amount could be
left.
Room boys / Maid : It is not recommended
We Care
In India roads could appear to be pot-holed
and traffic chaotic and hence our guests very
frequently get very worried. We suggest that
you catch up on some sleep or read a book or
even better put on your in-flight eye shades
and doze off. The drivers are well trained and
they are used to these roads. Very seldom (I
must hasten to add that almost none) are any
accidents involving tourist vehicles. The cars
that we use are safe, insured for and routinely
checked. Trains however are much more comfortable
ride-wise but could appear dirty and filthy.
Do carry your dry hand wash and tissue always
while taking train journeys. The flights are
pleasant and service good.
The transport is broadly classified as:
Cars - In India, the mostly used car for
tourists is, the Ambassador. This is one of
the oldest models in the world still being manufactured
and it is still hardy and spacious. We have
always had guests specially requesting for this
car. We have a couple of them in our fleet and
they are almost a year old (2003 end model)
and we use them discreetly as they wear and
tear fast and could be slow and rickety if used
without rest. Other than these two cars we also
use TATA INDIGO which is a small sedan with
good air-conditioning, TATA INDICA which is
a small hatchback and is used for backpackers
on a long trip, TOYOTA QUALIS & INNOVA &
TATA SAFARI which are high SUV type vehicles
seating 4 - 5 people normally but used for couples
also as are very comfortable and MITSUBISHI
LANCERS. On guest's request, the premium cars
that we use are CHEVY OPTRA & TOYOTA COROLLA.
We also use TOYOTA CAMRY, HONDA ACCORD &
MERCEDES (C, E & S) when requested for.
We have recently launched our luxury limousine
which we use only for top end tours as and when
requested.
Flights - There are presently four domestic
airlines in India other than Air India which
also operates some domestic routes. The local
airlines in the order of service and punctuality
are Jet Airways, Sahara Airlines, Indian Airlines
and Deccan Air. Out of all the four Deccan is
to be avoided as they are still facing teething
problems.
Trains - As described above train journeys
could be enjoyable if you have an open mind
and just want to enjoy and experience true India.
The middle class and upper middle class (cliché)
use Indian Railways and it is a way of life
in India. The best trains that could be booked
and we use them where possible are SHATABDI
& RAJDHANI EXPRESS. You could check the
various classes in the following site:
http://www.indiarail.co.uk/class.htm
Travelers Cheques
Thomas Cook or American Express in American
Dollars, Euro or British Sterling are the only
ones that are widely accepted.
Cash
US dollars, Euro and British Sterling are the
best currency to take. The notes need to be
clean, undamaged and if possible the latest
issue.
Credit Card
In major cities Visa, Master and American Express
cards can be used. Please do not rely on your
credit card as a source of finance in small
cities though most of the touristic cities have
a large number of ATMs.
Currency
The unit of currency is Rupee. (1 rupee is equal
to 43US$ / 80GBP£ / 55€ approximately)
Climate
With such a large landmass, India has a wide
range of climates with effects of the altitude
and the sea being very string in certain areas.
North India
April - June : Hot, dry and dusty with temperature
35-42 DEG C
July - August : Hot, Humid and rainy
Sep - Mar : Pleasant days and could get cooler
in the night
South India
April/May & Aug/Sep : Hot and Humid with
average temperature 38 DEG C
June/July/Oct/Nov : Hot and Heavy rains
Dec - Mar : Hot but less humid
Language
India is an area of great linguistic diversity
with over 1500 languages and dialect. People
associated with tourism speak English throughout
the country. The official language is however
Hindi.
Time
India is 5.5 hours ahead of GMT, 6.5 hours behind
New Zealand Standard Time, 4.5 hours behind
Australian Eastern Standard Time and 11.5 hours
ahead of Canadian Eastern Standard Time.
Clothing
For the most of areas, cotton casual clothing
that is light and loose fitting is recommended
for daywear. For trips during Nov-Jan do carry
warm clothes as it is cold during early mornings
and evenings. (Only in Northern India) Carry
a hat during sightseeing to keep off the mid-day
sun and for the evenings a couple of elegant
dresses would be nice to be worn for dinner
at the lovely hotels. You could also wear trousers
and jeans during the day. There is no problem.
Carry a stole or a scarf to cover your head
or feet while at the religious places.

Ask us
There could be a lot of other questions that
you might have, once you are already in the
process of booking the tour. For instance; payment
methods, cancellation conditions, meet and assist
at the airport, company bank details, previous
reference, etc. and you are welcome to ask them.
It would be our pleasure.

Dear Varsha
The service was excellent and we will certainly
recommend your company to any friends planning
to visit India. We would particularly like to
praise the services of our main driver and his
helper, known to us as Captain and Surinder.
Their competent, safe driving gave us confidence
and a comfortable journey always. The Tempo
Traveller was a great success and ensured the
children coped with the long journeys very well
as there was room to more about and be comfortable.
We really enjoyed our last minute visit to Agra
over Diwali : the Taj Mahal is truly majestic.
Thank you again for your help.
With our best wishes

Hi Durjay
My girlfriend and I just wanted to send you
an email to thank you for organising the best
holiday that we have ever had! We loved India
and were fascinated by it's sights, sounds and
history. I cannot fault the service we received
from Compass, we were met at every stage and
were very well looked after. I would particularly
like to thank Sanjay, he was always polite and
extremely helpful. Would you be able to tell
me the name of our driver, he was superb! His
driving was excellent and we looked forward
to our journeys with him. The guides were also
excellent and very informative, particularly
the guide we had at Agra. The hotels were amazing
and surpassed even our expectations.
Again thank you to you and all your staff!

Dear Durjay
We have now got back home and before work takes
all my attention back again I would like, also
in the name of my partner Francis, to thank
you and your team for one of the most fascinating
and wonderful trips that we have done so far.
India, or at least the north of it as we have
seen it, is a wonderful country and discovering
it has been for us in turn wonderful, upsetting,
touching, overwhelming... It has definitely
been an intense and stretching experience with
good learning for us... You and your team have
contributed to this experience. The programme
was excellent: it has enabled us to learn about
the past of India as well as to get to know
the India of today with its culture and its
people at the same time. The pace of the programme
also worked very well for us. The guides that
you have selected have all been nice and very
professional people.
With kind regards
