Walk around and always carry a pepper spray. Always carry cash in case you're travelling via Auto rickshaw. Do not go out alone to dark places with no street light or go only with known group of friends

Posted: August 7, 2024Allover Delhi is a safe place in the central area, south delhi and all tourist places. But except for central Delhi I won't suggest you to travel in the dark alone as a female. But travelling in Delhi metro is safe and most convenient to travel. Staying in Delhi as well is affordable and the food here is amazing like you can get the most amazing street food here which you cannot miss.
Posted: July 29, 2024New Delhi is the capital city of India and I have grown up here. I feel whilst New Delhi offers a multicultural and vibrant experience during the day, the nights can be a little tricky for women travellers. I usually suggest all my guests to retire home or to their respective accomodations by 7-8pm.
Posted: July 16, 2024It is safe if you stick to the popular routes or if you are travelling in daylight. Late nights are tricky since you never really know what kind of people you'll bump into. I prefer staying in groups of two rather than alone.
Posted: July 2, 2024Its safe for smart travellers, try to avoid isolated areas or trusting cab drivers. Use gps and trust your senses more than anything else. Follow general safety rules and gudileines whi you follow in other places. Still if you feel uncomfortable call the police helpline.
Posted: June 23, 2024New Delhi is a big metropolis, and some concerns may be exaggerated. Nevertheless, it isn't VERY safe either. It's best to stay vigilant overall - book reliable, verified accommodation, don't be outdoors too late, or trust strange men. The metro is generally safe and reliable. Please avoid street food and tap water!

Its safe but not that much if you trust any stranger. Be smart while travelling and save all the helpline numbers. The best place for exploring food options. Lots of heritage and cultural attractions. Easy to commute. Easily find a good company anywhere. Great connectivity from other nstional and international destinations.
Posted: June 23, 2024There are lots of delicious foods and numerous places to hang out. However, if you're a woman traveling alone, I wouldn't recommend it. It isn't safe... It would be better to go with a group or with someone close to you. Agra is one of the best places.

I like every form of travelling but prefer being near nature with less crowd around. I am all in for long walks to nowhere, looking at the night sky for hours and exploring with locals. I am here on this platform to connect with like-minded women and explore in a different (better) way.
