Do I need vaccinations?

Please review vaccine recommendations well before you travel. If you’re pregnant or your partner is pregnant, you may wish to consult a medical practitioner before you travel.

Do I need a plug adapter?

You need an Indian Type D plug adapter. The supply voltage power is 220V. For those coming from the US (where devices use 110V currency), you’ll need a voltage converter. (Unless you have dual voltage.) For those coming from countries like the UK (where devices use 230V currency), you’ll just need a plug adapter. Most travel devices such as laptop, camera and cell phone chargers can operate on dual voltage.

What is the dress code?

Please dress comfortably, and wear what you’d normally wear to work. If you’re planning to explore Bengaluru, we recommend conservative clothing. (Especially when visiting any religious temples or a gurudwara.)
