Day before yesterday one of my friends came to see me in New Delhi. She has been in India for few weeks. We talked about her journey, places she has seen and the things she had to face while travelling in India...Our conversation made me think that I should write about the safety tips for female travellers in India.
So here are quick basic tips for female travellers in India -
1) People judge you by your clothes, Make sure you wear clothes as per the places you are visiting in India.
2) Avoid making eye contact or interacting with strangers, it can be misinterpreted.
3) Avoid using public transport especially private auto-rickshaws or buses at night. If possible, book a cab with the hotel you are staying in.
4) Try to book upper coaches in the trains to avoid hassle.
5) Do not hesitate to call Police (Dial 100), If you feel teased or harassed.
6) If you are using websites like coach surfing to stay with someone in India. Do check the authencity of the person before finalizing it.
7) Always lock your luggage, whether you are awake or sleeping, always lock your luggage in trains.
8) Always keep your documents with you. Never leave your important documents like passports, Id proofs at your hotel.
9) If possible, always book your hotel room in advance.
10) Finally, eat fresh and hygienic food. Nothing is more important than your health.
India is a beautiful country to visit. You would always find good and bad people in all the countries. I would surely write another blog to share my experiences with some great people in India. I remember once a lady allowed me and friends to stay at her small place at 3 in the morning just to keep us safe from cold weather in Jammu and Kashmir. Come to India, follow some simple tips and enjoy your trip. If you have any query related to any place in India. Do write it in the comment section or message me directly in my Facebook page - facebook.com/touringtravellers
Till next time....stay happy and keep travelling. :)
