Keeping yourself safe in India is very important for a good travel experience

Foreigners are coming to India in huge numbers with various interests and travel plans all around India. India offers so much for any traveler.

This makes it extremely important for any solo female  or even male traveler to be careful when making some decisions about who to talk to and how to interact.

Important lessons for any traveler in India


  1. Never Give out your personal details
  2. Never invite anyone to your hotel room
  3. Never share you stay details with anyone
  4. Never have drinks with unknown people 
  5. Maintain a distance with ones who are part of the tourism industry

 There are many cases that are hidden but the trauma and the memory of the situation faces stays. Therefore its important to maintain certain precautions to have safety throughout your India travel experience.

The biggest concerns are:-

1. The tourist guide - unverified and undocumented in the tourism industry , this can easily be a sign of trouble, be very sure and particular when making a decision in this regard.

2. The cab driver - the unknown, new cab driver driving someone else's registered cab can be upto something you should stay away from

3. Always have a contact number to call even if it is somewhere else in the world.

4. Contact Police if there is any suspicion. You are safe with Police.


The police, the general population, the media are all for liberty, feminism and having an uninterrupted life. Please feel safe when traveling India, the whole country is with you, unlike some miscreants that have no sense of spirituality and warmness this country can offer.


Many precautions mentioned are applicable around the world, an important distinction is that once you start having a good travel experience and find every India to be well behaved and nice you start  becoming nonchalant and that is when you need to be vigilant and become conscious and continue to travel in India
