i brought a bit of t.p., but it was all over at major tourist spots. those little pre-packaged moist towelette thingys come in handy...and take up little room. also, for the ladies, if attached to a certain brand of feminine products, i'd bring that too... try not to sweat things too much. when i was packing for my trip, my husband kept reminding me that i was travelling to a civilized nation, not going camping...and if i forgot something, would most likely be able to purchase it in india. turns out he was right.

A small bottle of instant hand sanitizer in my purse came in very handy. (larger refill was in my suitcase)
An insulated (cloth) pet bottle cover to keep cold drinks cold and from sweating in your bag. Your indiamike password. I couldn't write while away because I forgot my password (and also didn't really have time or facilities to write) |
