    They’d really need to focus on hygiene and cleanliness for me to consider visiting. I don’t know much about the country but the few videos I do see of the place looks dirty.

      1. This is about Indians visiting other places

      2. What a weird comment to leave, why did you feel the need to say this?

      This article is about them visiting other countries not becoming a tourist destination itself.

      That said, I’ve been to India three times, once for personal and twice for business, for a total of about three months in a few major cities: Calcutta, Delhi, Bangalore, Mumbai, and Chennai to name a few. I felt saturated in filth the whole time. I got terrible food poisoning four times in three trips and personally witnessed more people NOT washing their hands after using the bathroom than people who DID wash their hands. Each time, the entire experience is just miserable from beginning to end. If you do have to go for whatever reason, make sure to pack lots of imodium, sanitizers, only eat at more expensive western restaurants, and avoid street food at all cost. Street food is my absolute favorite part of travel but 100% avoid in India. I’ve traveled to 50+ countries and India is the only one I’ll never go back to. This isn’t a racist take or anything it’s just reality.
