Electricity Converters – India uses 220V, 50 Hz AC Electric Current. Converters may be purchased in the U.S. for use with laptops, hair dryers, etc. A power converter/mini multi way adapter can be useful.

Luggage Locks – You might want to consider using a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) approved combination luggage lock as opposed to a lock that might have to be cut off while your bag is being checked through the airport. These types of locks are available on-line and at many luggage dealers.

Tipping – Restaurants usually add a service charge, but it is customary to tip taxi drivers, porters and other service providers, and it is always appreciated.

Office Dress Code - The dress code is informal/semi-casual throughout the year.

Be sure to bring…

• Extra eyewear (glasses/contacts)
• Prescriptions – carry them on the plane with you plus 1-week worth of extra prescriptions. It is also wise to carry copies of any critical prescriptions. You don’t want to put them in your luggage and not have them if your luggage is delayed or lost. Bring 1 weeks more of your prescriptions than you need, just in case. Most US medicines will have an Indian equivalent, however the brand names are not the same.
• Sunscreen with Deet
• A roll of Toilet Tissues for every week in India
