MONEY WISE, CARD FOOLISH!

Our highways might be what they are, don't venture out with just your debit/credit card. Hard cash is a must as we learnt the hard way recently on our impromptu trip to Pushkar. A tankfull from Delhi doesn't last a lifetime, dude. And the swank pumps dotting the NH-8 don't entertain plastic money. So, carry enough to pay for petrol, food and all the petty indulgences on the way. If unlucky, overnight stay might cost you dear, too, as the guy at the counter would also like cash!
