Is It Safe To Drink Tap Water In India?
I am traveling to India in a few weeks and wanted to check can you drink tap water in India?
I know not to drink the water in Mexico but I have been to Singapore and Hong Kong and it was fine to drink the water there, so wanted to know can I drink tap water in India.
If I can’t drink water in India, what do you do?
Just buy bottled water or bring water purifying pills?

No, it is definitely not safe to drink the water in India!
I brushed my teeth with it and didn’t get sick, but I wouldn’t drink it.
Also watch out at restaurants when they bring you tap water or anything with ice.
They sell bottled water everywhere but the best thing I did was buy a Grayl water purifier filter bottle.
It is seriously amazing!!
It uses a carbon filter and filters out everything.
No chemicals or electricity needed.
You can even fill it straight from a stream if you want.
I have used it in India, Thailand, Bali, Hong Kong, and just filled it up straight from the tap and never had an issue getting sick.
It pays for itself after a few months of use (compared to buying bottled water) and you aren’t contributing to the plastic nightmare in these countries.

Nope, I wouldn’t risk it.
They sell bottled water for 0.25 cents there so just drink that.
