Jaipur, India
Essentials

- • Refillable water bottle (1L) Reduces single-use plastic + saves money
- • Compact daypack (15–20L) For day trips, hands-free walking
- • Travel-size first-aid kit (band-aids, ibuprofen, antihistamines) Pharmacy access varies
Tops
- ★ T-shirts (5–6) — cotton or merino Avg high 26°C — warm
- • 1–2 long-sleeve linen or chambray shirts Cooler evenings + sun protection
Bottoms
- ★ Lightweight breathable shorts (3–4) — linen or quick-dry Avg high 26°C
- • 1 pair of light long pants Sun cover for long days + AC indoors
Outerwear & layers
- ★ Mid-weight jacket — packable down (e.g. Uniqlo Ultra-Light Down) or trench Overnight lows 11°C — cool
- · Light scarf Versatile + comfort
Rain & weather protection
- · Travel-sized umbrella Just in case (low rain risk)
Footwear
- ★ Walking sandals with arch support (Teva, Chaco, Birkenstock) Warm weather comfort
- ★ Comfortable closed-toe walking shoes — sneakers Long sightseeing days, religious sites, traffic-dodging
Accessories
- ★ High-SPF sunscreen (SPF 30+ minimum, 50+ for fair skin) Strong sun expected
- ★ Sunglasses with UV400 protection Sunny conditions
- ★ Wide-brim sun hat or peaked cap Sun protection
Power, voltage & adapters
- ★ 230V at 50Hz Mains electricity standard for India
- ★ Plug types: D, C, M (Type D — round 3-pin (India, Nepal)) Most common: D. Older buildings may also use C, M.
- ★ From the US/Canada: bring an A→D travel adapter US Type A/B plugs don't fit India's outlets
- ★ Check device voltage labels: 'INPUT: 100–240V' is dual-voltage (most modern phones, laptops, chargers — safe). Single-voltage 110V devices (older hairdryers, curling irons) need a step-down converter, not just an adapter. India runs 230V — too high for US-only 110V devices
- • From the UK/Ireland: bring a G→D travel adapter UK Type G plugs don't fit India's outlets
- · Easiest option: a universal travel adapter (e.g. Anker, Epicka) that handles A/B/C/E/F/G/I in one — covers ~95% of countries. If you travel to multiple regions
