Problems I Face While Traveling In India - Letters From A Nomad - travel blog

Welcome digital nomads, join me on the ultimate adventure that never ends. Each of our life is made up of our experiences and stories that define us. travel is not just about seeing the beauty of the place and an instagram post. Its a feeling, millions of stories of different people around the world, the experience and above all peace.


Problems I Face While Traveling In India:


India is one of the most beautiful places in the entire world. its unique places and culture and tradition is what drives people towards it. But it pains my heart to see both foreign and domestic tourists facing such inconvenience due to the greed of a few people and it is that few people who make the tourists think all of the Indians are the same. Being an Indian myself it feels like my responsibility to make you aware of the problems you might face while traveling in India, and please do remember one or two people do not represent the entire nation.

People staring at you

Especially when you are with your wife, girlfriend, mother or sister. They will keep staring at you and your female companion till the time you disappear from their sight. this is exactly why a lot of females don't travel alone in India. Being an Indian myself this kind of perverted act shames our entire country. 

Thugs all around

No matter you are in a hotel, vehicle or road, people will keep on asking for some extra money every time. They will block your way, they will stop you, force you to pay something and when you deny they will misbehave with you. this has happened to me many times and it is an awful experience.

Denial of service by the travel agent

It does not matter whether you have paid full money in advance or half, your travel agent will create a ruckus in providing the due service committed by them at the time of booking the trip. This trend is frequently observed and experienced by most of us at some point or other during our travel time. a good way to block this kind of activity is not to book using some unreliable source or website.   

Connectivity Issues

Most of our travel destinations are not connected with air route or rail route directly. You have to take other conveyance for sure to reach the actual destination. Trains are not hygienic enough to travel for a long day and not safe during nights. Taxis are overpriced and people are not well aware of prepaid taxi services.
transportation is a big issue in our country and this is the most important thing when you travel. 

Crime and molestation

Criminals are everywhere in India. (not only in India) Crime against travelers and pilgrims are common in India. Foreign tourists often face molestation and fraud while traveling in India. Police do not provide enough security to them and as a result, people think twice before visiting any city/place infamous for notorious activities as a result of which many beautiful places are never visited by the tourists. 

Poor services by Railway- Overpriced flight tickets - Spoiled road travel

In most of our states, roads are not fit to travel when you are on a long road trip. Whether they are so smooth to kill you by over speeding or they are going down till the core of the earth. Air tickets are overpriced with no transparency in booking mechanism and booking train tickets is like winning a lottery. this is pure crap and the inconvenience it causes is like no other.
