Dress in Rajasthan is casual. However, in the smarter city hotels people often change into fresh clothes for dinner. When sightseeing, do dress conservatively. Ladies are advised to be fairly modestly dressed.

Wherever you stay in Rajasthan, it can be arranged for a tailor to come and see you to have clothes made. They will also bring a choice of fabrics, if asked.

Don't try to sneak into temples and mosques that forbid non-Hindus or non-Muslims.

Rajasthan is visitor-friendly.
Credit cards are accepted in most tourist towns, and certainly at hotels and shops. For visitors wary of the local cuisine, continental cuisine is widely available: where it may fail to be authentic, or come up to gourmet standards, it will most certainly offer the familiar taste of home.

Bottled mineral water is widely available. The state has an extensive network of postal services and banks, as well as telecommunication links with the rest of the world. While it may not lack in modern amenities, Rajasthan's flavor is delightfully medieval - truly a place where time, as the cliché goes, has stood still.
