Is Amritsar safe for solo female travelers?

Amritsar is a relatively safe city for solo female travellers. Most parts of the city are safe to travel during the day. However, like any other city, it has areas which can be unsafe at late night hours. Street harassment and petty theft might be an issue. However, the local Sikh community is very hospitable. Public transport is popular and safe to use in broad daylight. Precautions such as avoiding isolated areas at night, being aware of surroundings, and maintaining general travel vigilance are advised.

I stayed at radisson blu which was right in the middle of the city. City is quite walkable with cultural experiences and amazing food and best lassi. I felt pretty safe walking around the city. People were respectful and helpful to tourists

Being a South Indian I never got a chance to visit north India until this Amritsar trip, so after a family trip I took a diversion and caught bus from Jaipur to Amritsar. I was staying in Madpackers hostel where I made made lot of friends - from then I didn’t have to turn back it ended up like a group trip with lot of friends.
