+ What is the local currency in India?
India uses the Indian rupee (INR). Cash is still commonly used, especially outside large cities. Credit cards are accepted in hotels, restaurants, and major stores. It’s recommended to carry cash for small purchases and to use ATMs at reputable banks.
+ Are English and other languages widely spoken in India?
India has multiple official languages, but English and Hindi are the most widely used. English is commonly spoken in urban areas, hotels, and airports, making it relatively easy for U.S. travelers to navigate major cities.
+ What type of electrical outlets are used in India?
India uses plug types C, D, and M, with a voltage of 230 V. U.S. travelers will need a plug adapter, and possibly a voltage converter for non-dual-voltage electronics. A universal adapter is recommended if visiting multiple regions.
+ How does tipping work in India?
Tipping is common in India. In restaurants, 7–10% is appropriate. Hotel porters and housekeeping staff should also be tipped, and it’s customary to round up taxi fares. Keeping small bills in rupees makes tipping more convenient.
