Creator's Key Takeaways

I personally ate street food and was there two weeks and didn't have any issues I did take a probiotic and a gut enzyme every day

I really did enjoy my time in India and I would recommend that if you have two or three weeks for your first time that's probably best

I haven't really had too much issues with scammers either when I came to India I was reading about scammer scammers obviously we all know about the infamous IRS prank call scammers I was expecting a little bit more scanning I didn't see much of it

the best time really to visit is going to be from October until March that's in the south of India
