Hi I'm new to the forum, but have been using JY since 2008 and have had many enjoyable holidays.

I am going to India this Thursday and want to ask about the currency, is it better to take sterling or to use a debit card?

Thanks in advance

Clare

Hi

My advice would be to take cash which can be easily e changed at hotels. Debit cards are accepted in some shops.

Enjoy your holiday

Any advice as to how much cash for a week? Have no idea of prices etc. realise this is like asking how long is a piece of string!!!!

Hi Linda

If I remember correctly I took about £500 for the longer trip and spent all of it. I did buy gifts and souvenirs who h accounted for quite a bit. I think about £300 should be more than ample.

Thanks, Lesley. I was thinking about that sort of amount. I suppose it wont hurt to have extra....just in case!
