Is Kerala Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Kerala

as a North Indian woman, Kerala was a breath of fresh air. I did not have to worry about stares, unwanted attention or harassment. the cleanliness is also top notch. if you are a foreigner or a solo woman of any nationality and want to explore India, start with Kerala. it is the state with the highest literacy rate and it shows. even when I was wearing more revealing clothes and standing out from the locals who were dressed conservatively, people didn't give me any unwanted attention. (PS. don't follow my example. why take risk dressing in revealing clothes. always wear what the locals wear unless it's a private property or private beach). anyway, 10/10 experience would recommend.

Kerala can be said to be comparatively safe when we consider other states in India. People are more educated than other states in India and that do reflect in their behaviour. But not everyone is aware about the privacy and comfort of women so there can be some sort of violence. Hence should be careful as a women.

Kerala is a super safe state. I have felt safe in all the cities I have gone to. People are very friendly. Culturally very tolerant of multiple religions, races, gender etc. People will help you out if you ask for any support and they will guide you.

Family travel

Kerala is a nice place… people are extremely kind and courteous. However, night travel is not recommended unless you are with a group or with local guides. The land has beautiful landscapes, nature and even local diner.
