Tourists in India may face risks such as overcharging, small scams, stomach upsets, heat, dehydration, and winter smog. To avoid these, it is essential to know fair prices, agree on costs beforehand, drink bottled or filtered water, eat freshly cooked food, and maintain good hand hygiene. Road accidents are a serious concern, so avoid driving yourself, plan trips to avoid night travel, and ensure seatbelts are functional in vehicles.
