Dress code: keep it simple
Most sacred sites expect shoulders and knees covered. Lightweight layers are the easiest solution in warm weather.
If you plan ahead, you won’t have to buy something last-minute near an entrance.
- Bring a light scarf/shawl
- Wear breathable trousers/skirts that cover knees
- Avoid beachwear at temple sites
Shoes and walking comfort
You may need to remove footwear. Slip-on shoes are a practical choice on a multi-stop day.
Plan for warm ground in midday sun; early mornings are more comfortable.
Photography and behavior
Follow signage and local guidance. Some areas restrict photos; it’s always better to ask than guess.
Move calmly, keep voices low, and treat it as a living place of worship—not only a sightseeing stop.
