| Medical Advice to Persons Visiting Pakistan / India |
| India
and Pakistan are both tropical countries and many Asians living abroad are not used to its environment. The climate there varies in different regions, normally its quite hot with average temperature of about 35 degrees Celsius. Hospitality is the best part of culture both in Pakistan and India, but we advise you to take some precautions. |

| Food and water |
Visitors sometimes have trouble with Pakistani/Indian food and water. Home food is best to eat and some good hotels have learnt over the years to offer a safe and varied fare to suit different palates. We list some simple precautions that usually allow even the most sensitive stomachs to survive there without problems for weeks. It is always advisable to eat warm food in a clean environment. Food is very diverse, and different from what most foreigners are familiar with even after eating in Indian/Pakistani restaurants abroad. It is tasty, spicy, rich, and people tend to overeat. As a result, an upset stomach is more often a case of the digestive system being unable to handle unusual food. You will have to decide not only what to eat, but also how much to eat. But this shouldn't stop you from trying the immense varieties of Desi delicacies available. Thick-skinned fruits (e.g. bananas and oranges) are safe to eat anywhere. Seafood, away from coastal cities, is not always fresh, and should be always eaten in moderation. Bottled water available in the shops is not necessarily safe drinking water, even if it carries a mineral water label. There are some good brands, choose a popular one. You should always make sure that the seal on the cap is intact.
Sunglasses and sunscreen lotions would be helpful if you are planning a lot of outdoor travel. Please note that most medicines are readily available in India and Pakistan at a much cheaper rate than in western countries. But you should know their chemical names (instead of their brand names) to be able to find them. |
