If you are able to change your trip to a day trip, I would advise you to do that instead. I would not be okay with my girlfriend traveling alone on a night train. I am not saying that something bad will definitely happen, but it is better to be safe than sorry.

Normally, it should be fine. However, the best thing you can do to be sure is to ask your airline and see if they allow sweets or not.

I think that, as long as you have it with you all the time and you don't leave it unattended, you should be fine taking it with you.

How are public displays of affection seen in India? Is it rude to hug or kiss in public for example? I certainly wouldn't want to offend anyone, but it would be good to know.

Saffron is one of the most expensive spices almost in every country that I have been to. I heard that it is relatively reasonably priced in India. Where can I get some good quality saffron in Mumbai?

I have never heard of Masala Chai and it really sounds interesting and delicious. I have never tried adding any spices to my tea; except for cinnamon and I really love the taste.

My most useless thing to carry last year was a rain proof coat; only to find out that it was the dry season. I had the wrong information about the weather.

Can you suggest any travel apps that I could install on my phone that could help me get around while in India? Thank you so much!

I am going to attend a wedding during my visit in India and I was wondering what king of presents I should buy for the hosts. Any ideas would be really appreciated. Thanks :)

I don't want to bother carrying bathroom related items with me while traveling in India because they will just be extra useless weight, so I was wondering if there were certain items that can't be found or that are difficult to find in India? Are there any products that I should definitely take...

I have always wanted to see tigers in their natural habitat, but I have never had the chance to do it even while visiting Thailand. I am really looking forward to it.

I am not sure, but I think you mean samosas. Were they fried? If they are fried, then thy are called samosas. They can be stuffed with different things as far as I know.

I think geckos are some of the cutest species in the lizard family. Are they really poisonous? When I visited South East Asia, they were everywhere, but I have never had any problems with them. I think I wouldn't mind having a couple of geckos in my room if they are going to get rid of mosquitoes :)

The first thing that comes to my mind when hear India or think about India is beauty. Then I start thinking about food, culture and so many other things.

I think that even if you join an organized tour, chances are you won't enjoy it as much because you don't know the people that well. I would rather have a group of friends and travel together.
