  • Do not leave your valuables open in your hotel room.
  • Do not consume alcohol during the sightseeing tours.
  • Do not – try to break queues, bargain in fixed price shops, littering, jay walking and misusing hotel amenities. When in a foreign country, we represent India and these are some of the actions that may be considered inappropriate.
