Water in India:
Most of India's tap water is unhealthy for consumption. Restaurants will offer treated drinking water, but itâs advisable for visitors to always drink bottled and packaged water. Bottled water in India comes in two types- packaged drinking water Bisleri/kinley brands, and pure mineral water such as the Bisleri Himalaya. There is a difference between them. Packaged drinking water ( is water that has been treated and made healthy for consumption, while mineral water has been obtained from its natural underground or pristine river sources and hygienically bottled. Natural mineral water is expensive and costs twice as much as packaged water. Both are safe to drink, although mineral water is better as it is chemical free.
