India is raw, chaotic, and fascinating. Here's my take on working remotely and getting around this diverse subcontinent
India is incredible. But try ordering food, connecting to airport Wi-Fi, or booking a massage without an Indian mobile number.
India skipped cards and went straight to QR codes. Now nomads can join via UPI One World — and I tested it firsthand.
I tested Nomad eSIM across Kolkata, Bengaluru & Kabini National Park — 5G in cities, reliable 4G in the wild. Plus, why airport Wi-Fi failed international visitors and how a VPN saved my data top-up.
Kolkata's three-day Hindu celebration — henna tattoos, Haldi rituals, bonfires, and flower petals raining. No Bollywood film could have prepared me for the real thing.
First time in India — and it delivered on all fronts. A traditional Kolkata wedding, new food discoveries like panipuri and paneer pizza, plus cracking UPI payments as a foreign tourist.
India's finally on my itinerary! Years of yoga, daily curry and spirituality made this inevitable. eSIM research, UPI quirks, a hilariously buggy visa form, and health must-haves. My full nomad prep breakdown.
