Short answer

Bring an adapter that fits your charger and charge before trains, flights, and early excursions. A power bank is a useful backup but must follow airline rules.

Checklist

  • Check plug type and charger specification
  • Pack a cable in your hand luggage
  • Charge before leaving the hotel

Common question

Should I bring an extra charging cable to India?

Yes. A spare cable takes little room and reduces risk if the first is lost or damaged.
