Lived in various areas of bangalore over the years like kormangala, hsr, electronic city, indiranagar, marathahalli. Apart from Marathahalli all felt safe, HSR is peaceful, Kormangala is where you can find everything so I like these 2 the most. Have noticed some wierd things happening in Whitefield and marathahalli so I don't prefer to go out much at these places.

Actually, 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

Safe overall but women need to be smart and aware at all times - everyone is nice and friendly but there’s still a lot of uneducated men or people on the streets, so harassment is easy, although it is less than in north India

Bangalore is very safe for female travellers. You can safely book a cab through namma yatri or female airport taxis to the city. The area where I live gets silent around 9:00pm but there is always police patrolling around.

It is very safe whether it's day or night. Women can walk freely at any hour of the day without anyone bothering. People are generally friendly and helpful. There is little communication gap but it doesn't create much problem for outsiders.

Hi Everyone Thanks for checking out my profile. I am based in Bangalore and I stay around Yelahanka in North Bangalore (20 mins from KIA).
