Hygiene is an important concern when traveling to India, but with a few precautions, visiting can still be a safe and healthy experience. Make sure you get all of your routine immunizations up to date before traveling and research what specific areas need more hygienic attention. Bring along hand sanitizer, disinfectant wipes, and any other items that can help minimize potential exposure to illness or disease. Be conscious of what you are eating by avoiding street food and unfamiliar restaurants when possible. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of safe water such as bottled or boiled water- don't wait until you're thirsty! Additionally, make sure you understand the healthcare systems in India before visitng so that if needed -you know how/where to seek medical help.

Despite popular belief, India has a decent hygiene rating, particularly in urban areas. There is still some contamination of water and food products which can lead to disease. It is always important to take precautions when travelling and make sure you look after yourself, such as washing your hands with soap or using hand sanitizers frequently throughout the day.
