Practical tips: prefer low‑moisture, shelf‑stable and cooked items that travel well — roasted chana/peanuts, mixed nuts, khakhra/namkeen, thepla/atta parathas, dry idli/dhokla kept in an insulated box, hard‑boiled eggs eaten within a few hours, peanut butter or hummus packs with roti. Carry an insulated flask with hot dal/khichdi or soup to stay full and safer than cold dairy. Avoid raw salads, cut fruit, milk sweets or unrefrigerated dairy for long journeys; buy hot-cooked food from busy, reputable counters. Bring bottled water, hand sanitizer/wet wipes, and ORS/ginger tea sachets for nausea or dehydration.
