Question Where can you buy alcohol hand rub / Purell in India??

Hey!

Am in Leh at the mo and have a small bottle of alcohol rub but it's running out FAST and I'm gonna need reinforcements. Heading south to Manali/Dharamsala then to Rishikesh, is there *anywhere* I can get some?? If not, what are the alternatives?

All replies gratefully received!

Cheers x

You can get something similar. It is a disinfectant hand wash gel. It is made by the reputable 'Himalaya' company. It's available widely throughout India. There is a Himalaya shop in Mcleodganj, on Temple Road, but you can get it in many grocery stores too.

It's called "Pure Hands". Kills 99.9% of germs, so it is about equal to your Purell wash. 50ml costs 39 rupees - also available in larger sizes. Do check the expiry date, as some shops have old stock.

I second what Shivani has written above.
