The worst thing to happen while you are traveling is
getting ill or loosing your belongings. While traveling around the
historic city of Hyderabad, you must take care that you don't fall ill
or loose your stuff. In order to prevent such a mishap from taking
place, one must follow some precautionary measure while traveling. Read
on about health and safety precautions to be taken while traveling in
Hyderabad. Hope these are helpful in making your trip a pleasurable and
a hassle-free one.
- Check for hygiene and cleanliness while eating in roadside
restaurants in Hyderabad. Try to get mineral water while eating out
in restaurants.
- Always insist for sterilized and disposable syringes in case you
are in need of medical help.
- Keep all sorts of valuables and important papers (jewelry,
passports, return tickets, etc) in your hotel's safe deposit box. Do
not leave them unattended in your room. Avoid carrying large amounts
of cash. Substitute it with travelers' cheques and credit cards.
Keep good amounts of change though.
- Do not keep your wallet/purse in your rear pocket. Keep it inside
your jacket pocket or side pocket of your trouser.
- Make an itinerary of important places to visit in and around
Hyderabad and allot time for each place. Ask the hotel staff to
arrange for a taxi or a tourist bus for you to travel around. It is
better to travel with other tourists of your hotel to avoid getting
lost.
- Avoid wearing revealing clothes while your stay in Hyderabad. You
will end up attracting unwanted attraction and advances if you are
wearing skimpy outfits because they do not appeal to Indian
sensibilities. Jeans and trousers with normal shirts are accepted.
- Avoid any public display of affection. It will be better if you
do not shake hands with a person of the opposite sex unless the
other person extends his/her hand before you do.
