Amazing experience. Great weather. Lovely sunsets and view. I saw flamingos there from nri complex. Did night outs and felt safe during entire night. Police was making rounds in the area and making sure we were safe

Amazing city, with amazing places to explore. Food is very authentic and delicious, surprisingly very different from the northern cuisine. The night vibe is amazing.

Umm it’s usually safe don’t take cabs in the night after 10-10:30 if you’re taking on share your live location and say it out loud.

Gurgaon is generally safe during the daytime. At night, it's not recommended to take a cab alone post 9pm. Auto-rickshaw is still a safer bet. Within Delhi NCR, take a metro if it's possible. Super affordable, super convenient, great connectivity, and the first coach is reserved for women only. However, avoid getting down at SIKANDERPUR METRO STATION after 9pm AT ALL COSTS!!!

So I have been in banglore since one month and I have travelled here and there using metro or Rapido but not once I felt a man is staring at me in a wrong way. Although I do say that people who don’t know how to speak native language might find difficult to communicate with locals
