Do I need to take my own bath towel and bed sheets to India when I stay with a family in rural India?

Depends on what you're going for and which part of rural india you're going to.Unless its a semi urban - urban area,washing machines or laundry facilities will be limited and only for personal use..Rural areas do have people (dhobi)who will wash and clean for a fee which is quite nominal by western standards.You would have to bring quite sturdy material,as they can be quite rough in washing stuff. I would highly recommend your own bath towel.Bed sheets ,I cant say unless i know where you are going.take a couple of lighweight cotton bedsheets if you are headed to proper rural india.Do I need to take my own bath towel and bed sheets to India when I stay with a family in rural India?

What would you do if you were staying with a family anywhere else in the world?





It also depends on what kind of family you are staying with.





A middle class family in India live very comfortably and will most probably have everything there for you. You will not have to worry about things like that.





But just in case, take something with you. It is not much to carry.
It would be advisable, so as not to get into an embarasing situation.
Friend, any body who is interested to visit another person's place with a plan to stay a couple of days have to carry all your personal as you have mentioned. This applys not only to India but also to any part of the world! On hygine point of view, you may keep all your above mentioned things including a air pillow/bed. After using before leaving India you may give them to some one as a gift of your rememberance! Your purpose is also served and your name will be there, where you had stayed.


It will not cost more than US$ 50 for all per person.
