Keep touts at bay.Do not entertain the beggars. If you give money to one, many others will follow you back. Though the street food and delicacies in Punjab are very authentic however, you must still check for the quality before you buy anything. Whenever you buy a bottle of drinking water, you must check for the seal. If the seal is broken, you must avoid buying that bottle. Buy a bottle of the brand that is known to you. Several replica brands come into play and tend to deceive you. Make sure you never leave your cash or valuables in the hotel room.Avoid going out of the room with too much cash in your pocket. Avoid traveling during the night hours. Ensure that you maintain the integrity of the place by not getting involved in any brawls or fights. Do not indulge in drugs of any form. Carry with you a necessary first aid kit.  Do not wear clothes that are skimpy or revealing. Always be polite when you communicate with the locals.Always carry with you a copy of your necessary documents like ID, passport or license.Make sure you do not book a hotel in a secluded place.
