It is just like any city. You will be safe if you are in a fairly crowded or popular place. In the dense city you are good to go, there is no issue. But if its a less poplated area and it is in the night i would be cautious and send my location to loved ones. All else is fine!
Posted: May 6, 2025There are men who have weapons and there are always weird men looking at women and making them uncomfortable, men approach you can ask you to come along with them forcefully. But if you’re in busy areas you don’t get to experience this much.
Posted: May 6, 2025Bangalore especially the old bangalore is very safe for women. I have been living here for more than 10 years and I have travelled in the middle of the night alone and have never felt unsafe. One has to be aware of their surroundings and keep your closed ones informed about your whereabouts as a safety precaution
Posted: April 26, 2025I'm staying in Bangalore from last year and so far it's been good. The public transportation is.also good except for a few perverted men. As a college student living alone, I'm a bit worried about my safety.

not sure man at this point no place on earth is safe for a girl. even if you're wearing full modest clothes, you'll get looked at. especially the public transport here, the auto drivers are especially rude so be safe yall.
Posted: April 15, 2025It's okay as long as one doesn't stand out... But again, that restricts a person from really expressing themselves. I have a tendency to have at least 2-3 methods of self-defense strategies before stepping out of the house, that's perhaps my only reason to give those low ratings for robbery and other things.
Posted: April 14, 2025In general, I did not face anything yet and didn’t hear from people as well, so it’s chill but it might depend on the locations as well, the areas I’ve resided before and now is completely safe and police patrolling is always there
Posted: March 29, 2025I feel safe only until 10 pm that too mostly with a company. I feel very uncomfortable and unsafe to go out even during day time. So many places though I am interested to explore I stop myself to avoid risks.
Posted: March 28, 2025Not safe at night. Go with a group. People are aggressive here. If you have a local person speaking the language here then it’s fine. People will try to extort money and do all sorts of scam. Be in your hotel room by 10 and be cautious.
Posted: March 16, 2025Actually, India is not the safest space especially for girls. - Because of the culture it is not so common for a girl to wear a short dress (don’t open shoulders and knees) - Also, it has awful traffic and it is dangerous to cross the road sometimes so do it carefully - The food is spicy so take some pills with you if you don’t used to spicy food
