Practical information : Going out South India
Timetable
India isn't exactly a destination renowned for its extravagant nightlife. However, there are some very popular clubs in Mumbai, Bangalore and Goa, where you can often party late into the night. Chennai and Hyderabad also have their own nightlife for those who take the trouble to look around. In other cities in the south of the country, it's often dead calm. Pondicherry's bars and restaurants close at 11 p.m. on weekdays and at midnight on Saturdays. In Kerala, it's even quieter.
To be booked
Tickets for performances (theater, dance, music) often need to be purchased in advance in major cities like Mumbai and Bangalore.
Night transport
Cabs are the safest and most convenient way to get around. Even with the night-time surcharge, fares are still very reasonable. You can also use an app like Uber or Ola, where the fare is set according to the length of your journey.
What's very local
A Dry Day is a day on which the sale of alcohol (liquor, beer) is prohibited in an entire state, or even in the whole country, although consumption is permitted in the private sphere. These days are generally national or local holidays, religious festivals or election days. The following are national Dry Days: January 26(Republic's Day), January 30(Martyr's Day), August 15 (Independence Day).
Tourist traps
If you're going to a show, always buy your ticket from the box office at the entrance to the venue, not from a scalper.
