Most bad India stories start in the first two hours after landing, when you are tired and everything is loud. Nothing on this list is complicated, but doing them in order removes almost every arrival problem. Screenshot it and keep it offline.

We can show you the monument.
But we’d rather tell you why you should care about it.

Because India is not just something you photograph.

It’s something you understand. 🇮🇳

“Your hotel is closed.” — It could be a lie.

One of the scams tourists can encounter right after arriving in India starts with a taxi driver saying:

❌ “Your hotel is closed.”
❌ “It’s overbooked.”
❌ “There’s a problem in that area.”
❌ “I know a better hotel.”

The goal? Get you to a different hotel where the driver may receive a referral fee.

🛡️ Here’s how to protect yourself:

📞 CALL THE HOTEL YOURSELF — right there in the car, in front of the driver.

Or simply say: “Take me to my hotel anyway.”

If there was never actually a problem, the driver will take you there.

💡 Golden rule: If you didn’t book the taxi through your hotel or a trusted tour operator, don’t rely on the driver for information about your accommodation.

📌 Save this before you land in India and share it with someone planning their first trip.
