When you come out of the airport, you will usually encounter it. It is you who pay for the service of the car and then arrange the car. This is better than going straight to the driver outside, but remember, even it is negotiable!
2. I used it again this time in Delhi, and finally when I went from the hotel to the airport. The driver went to another place, and there was no Indian calling card to ask the hotel owner to help contact the driver. It is more than 10 kilometers from the city to the airport, first to Delhi Airport 3 (international), and then to 1 (domestic), a bit of a detour, and it took 430 to complete the whole journey.
You can also buy air tickets on [about air tickets in India], but after comparing them, you found that they are more expensive, so Xueluo specially registered and bought tickets.

【Train Ticket Online Reservation】All the train tickets for this trip are booked by Xueluo himself, and I have some experience to share with you. 1. To register to buy train tickets, their official website booking is very inconvenient, so everyone uses it to book. Speaking of it, it is indeed very powerful, in addition to train tickets, you can also buy air tickets, book hotels, etc. There is a mobile phone, which can be downloaded.
You can also pay for your purchase on your phone. After registration, you can query, but you can't buy tickets, and the interface will remind you of the account you want to register. In fact, the most troublesome part of the verification process is this verification. There are two steps, one is email verification. This one is simple. Another is to send a scanned copy of his passport as he requested.
Wait for him to review it, but this wait is really unreliable, and it may take five or six days. 4. The purchase processAll the ticket purchase process is completed on the website. It's just that after the final payment, you will be bound to your number on the interface that you return to. Therefore, even if you pay the money, if you do not enter the correct login here to verify it, the ticket will not be successful.
Of course, the money will also be returned to the card. 5. Train tickets for India, there are. That is, the tickets sold online are sold out, and you can still buy tickets, but it is not a state, it is a state, that is, there is a sequential standby ticket, and you can see if you can waitlist successfully before and after you pay. This time, it was because I waited for three days and didn't verify the snow fall.
When Xueluo bought a ticket to the Blue City, he only bought one ticket, and everything else was. According to the convention and what other students in the jar said, the possibility of being a waitlist within 10 is generally very high. But the snow is in a hurry, and there is nothing to speak of from the blue city. The ticket that Yukiki bought was 6. Later, the day before departure, the queue reached 3.
I went to the train station and asked that it would be announced three hours in advance, but about 3 and a half hours before the departure, the snow fell and there was a location. By the way, here is a recommendation where you can check the Indian Railways:. You can check the status of the ticket, the status of the car, and so on. Other things to note: you can only buy 10 tickets for the same name.
More than you can't buy [those things to pay attention to when going to India] 1. All air ticket orders must be printed, and you can't enter the airport if you don't print them out, even if you are transferring from domestic to international and from international to domestic, they will recognize this. It's useless to show them the order on their phone, just look at the printed form!2. When you have a domestic ticket in India.
Prepare a credit card for payment in advance in case asked. If it's a friend's credit card to help buy it, be sure to write the card number and the last 3 digits on the back in the memo, to see this! Even if you have paid for it, you have to see this, and the snow falls because of this and almost can't take off on time. 3. Slippers are basically absent from Indian hotels.
There is basically no toothbrushing and toothbrushing, and it is best to bring hair washing and bathing (except for five-star hotels) 4. Be sure to bring medicine, and bring diarrhea, heat stroke, cold and anti-allergy medicines. (Although I didn't take any medicine in the snowfall), I had it ready just in case, and it was more troublesome to buy medicine in India. 5. Bring hand sanitizer and wet wipes, many places in India are still quite dirty.
Rub your hands often to prevent germs. By the way, wear a mask! It's very practical in places like the gray stuff. 6. The evening show in the White City starts at 7 p.m., but you have to go early to take a seat. When I went at 18:30, the first and second rows were full. 7. Hotels in White City, for example, must be booked in advance, the popularity is unimaginable, and the snow falls and is booked late.
Only suites 8.Now the domestic exchange is good, and then at the airport for less rupees for emergency, because the airport exchange rate is super low: the exchange rate is 6.2, deducting the service fee is equivalent to 6. The money exchange point in the city can be changed for 6.56.8, and there is no service charge. 9. Don't be soft-hearted when bargaining for travel in India, and cut it in half first.
Of course, some lions have big mouths, and even more. Go to more than 20 cities in China and more than 10 countries abroad. Play what you love, and use your delicate body to carry a heavy camera around the world. Taste the world's cuisine with your discerning taste buds and be a hardcore foodie quietly. Love travel, love life, love food, love photography, love rock 'n' roll, love peace.
Snowfall's passion for tourism stems from family influences. Xueluo's father likes to travel very much, he can play the erhu and ride the Harley, he is 35 years old with Xueluo, but he can get along with Xueluo like a friend. In Xueluo's impression, as long as it is a weekend or holiday, he will drive Xueluo out to play, and take Xueluo to see more flowers such as plum orchids, bamboo chrysanthemums, etc. throughout the year.
He has picked strawberries, pears, grapes and other fruits, he has driven a car and a tractor with Xueluo, he has accompanied Xueluo to ride a roller coaster twelve times at a time in order to get a prize, and once he drove the wrong way on the highway, and there was a dead road in front of him, so he rushed out of the highway and drove to a country road.
Xueluo once marveled at its humanity and once despised its dirty mess. There are those who are obsessed with India's long history, while others are disgusted by its backwardness and poverty. Mark Twain once said, "Any assessment of India is true, but the opposite view may also be true because it is too complicated." ”
On this trip, Xueluo has always been considered to be Liu Jingshu's younger sister, maybe in the perception of Indians, they are all a family when they come out to play, which is also a good interpretation of their underdevelopment, and the Dragon Kingdom was like this more than ten years ago. Therefore, what touches me the most is that Xueluo and Liu Jingshu's feelings about India should be the perception of Xueluo and Liu Jingshu in Europe and the United States more than ten years ago.
There have been a lot of negative news about India in the media, but every country has some dark sides, Xueluo thinks that Xueluo and Liu Jingshu should not be affected by the report and feel that India is an unsafe, terrifying, and unclean country. India is a place full of diverse ethnic customs and a splendid civilization born of religion.
The most important thing is that the people here love to smile, and if you want to feel such a simple local style, please let go of the prejudice against India in the past and go into the real India to experience, India will really make people fall in love when they go. The mobile phone card problem is important!
If you have money to buy a treasure in advance, you don't need to look at it below! Xueluo on the road to meet a small partner a treasure bought, there is no traffic, you can also call a treasure to charge, sure enough, a treasure of the dragon country is a mother, before I met a girl when I knew that a treasure can buy an Indian train ticket, exclaimed, this can be! Yes, yes! Indian mobile phone card is the most difficult to do in the country where the snow falls.
The Indian government has strict regulations on the use of mobile phone cards by foreigners, and they need to submit written materials for approval. The approved mobile phone card is the same as your visa time! Personal advice, do not handle it at the airport, in case there is a problem to run back to the airport? The actual process: bring your passport, photo, handle it in the business hall, it is best to choose the business hall close to the accommodation, otherwise the problem will have to run far away.
(Vodafone, which is handled by the snowfall, has a handling office in the backpacker area near the train station), and there is a problem with the mobile phone when the snow falls, and I am glad that it was not handled at the airport. It will be done in about half an hour, and the address at home and abroad still needs to fill in the form, please fill in truthfully, and you need to answer questions by phone. Go back and wait until 24 hours to activate the activation.
The activation process is to call the official phone number of Vodafone (or directly call your mobile phone number Xueluo to try it), tell the customer service staff your name and address, and the other party will help you activate it after verification. (Two points are very important: 1. Keep the number of the mobile phone card given to you by the staff, and Xueluo feels that she has nothing to bring.)
, so that when activating, the phone on the other end of the phone will be Xueluo's mobile phone number, Xueluo doesn't know, and the next day when I go to the business hall, the staff knows that Xueluo doesn't know the number, because Xueluo didn't take the number!2Prepare to accept the challenge of Indian English on the phone! In fact, many highly educated people in India have very good English and no accent. )
Let's talk about the problems of the operator and the Xueluo mobile phone card: Let's talk about the operator first, the second is the country's two largest operators, the two cards in the Indian tourist city are no problem, except for the signal on the train will be bad, and it may have arrived at a remote mountain villa! Xueluo chose Vodafone, a travelogue analysis before, the reason is specifically forgotten.
However, after playing the whole process, the friends I met were all Vodafone. Let's talk about the tariff: Xueluo is for Vodafone 4 cards, 450 rupees for 150 minutes of calls, 1 for 4 traffic. Choosing 4 cards is the stupidity of the snow falling card, talking about the snow falling problem, you donkey friends analyze what card to handle. I don't have any pursuit of mobile phones, so I use Xiaomi Mi 4.
In India, the snow fell on the millet 4 was despised twice, and the rest were seen by others to see the snow fall mobile phone and say wow the company's mobile phone! The first time is to go to the business hall after the card is completed, and the next day the snow falls and then go to the business hall,After activation, the snow fall's mobile phone is still not easy to use the network,Tossed for a long time, the staff said to the snow fall 3 times before and after, or it was useless,Tossed there for 2 hours。
During the period, two Nepalese came, a handsome guy like an Australian and a lot of Indians, who have been studying the snow-falling card there, and the Nepalese brother is helping in various ways, and finally the mobile phone has a network signal under the snowfall of various calls from the staff, but it's just, you know, it's equivalent to no signal, and it's the signal in the elevator in Dalongguo.
Xueluo asked why, the staff said that it was because of Xueluo's mobile phone, Xueluo this dragon country is not good, asked Xueluo why he didn't use the mobile phone, said that these dragon country mobile phones are very easy to use, take out the mobile phone to give Xueluo a variety of demonstrations!(Here I say that the Indian market is really quite large, no matter to which city can see their billboards all over the street.)
The spokesperson is still a handsome guy, and there are three-dimensional signboards everywhere. In the end, he said that the snow fell and the Xiaomi mobile phone was embarrassed to take it out, so he had to use the signal throughout the whole process. The friends I met on the road asked about the snow fall of the domestic mobile phone: and it is really no problem, and there are two Meizu mobile phones, one is no problem, and the other has no signal.
Samsung is no problem, Apple needless to say!(In fact, I also brought a Samsung mobile phone to spare at the time, but I was too lazy to find out to change the card, so I didn't try) (3) Environmental problemsThe negative news from India is mainly concentrated in two aspects: one is social security; The issue of law and order has already been said, but it's nothing, there is a joke that has been said.
There is a security guard at the door in India, although it is exaggerated, but there is no problem with security in slightly more advanced places, such as KFC hahaha, the subway has to be checked, and some markets have to be checked for security. Environmental issues indeed.... Except for the clean streets that make you suspect that they are not in India, the other cities of this trip to North India are full of Indian flavor.
There are a lot of cow shit, sheep shit, dog shit, and bird shit on the street, and there are often situations where you don't know how to get off your feet. But that's also what makes India so wonderful and special that it attracts all kinds of tourists!
