For women travelling in India, it is safe since you take precautions. It’s still a conservative country regarding sexuality and women’s rights.
Foreigner women in India are usually notice as “easy” by many local men. To avoid possible problems, take the following tips:
- No necklines and sexy clothes. Not so many Indian girls use jeans, usually only single women in big cities;
- Cover the necks, shoulders and legs;
- Don’t go out alone at night and in empty places;
- Travel in group;
- When using public transportation, get the parts reserved to women. If it’s mixed, avoid the rush times;
- When get a cab or autorickshaw, get as always as possible, those registered by a license. Take pics of the vehicle’s numbers and of the driver. Out of question about driver bring a friend!;

- When a guy stare at you, be firm and straight. Don’t express fear!;
- Use a ring to pretend you’re married/engaged also helps!
