Packing and Travel Tips

Suggested packing list:

Clothes: Please dress conservatively.  This means, no tank tops, bare midriffs, shorts, or tight clothing.  T-shirts are ok and long pants or capris are preferred.  You will see Westerners dressed less modestly, don’t do it! It is not respectful of the sacred culture of India.  You may wear tank tops in yoga classes if you like.  There will be laundry services available.  Bring warm pajamas and socks as the evening tend to be cool.

Head lamp or flashlight

Water bottle

Kleenex and/or toilet paper: Please don’t throw tissues or paper in the toilets, the septic systems are not set up for this.

Medications/Vitamins/Probiotics/Neem/Berberine

Granola bars, protein bars and snacks are a good idea.
