How safe is Hyderabad for solo female travelers?

Solo travel

Hyderabad was a great experience overall, even at most crowded places like Charminar Market I was told that I can get pick-pocketed, thankfully that didn't happen. But it was so refreshing to visit as it was safe in regards of sexual harassment related acts. In fact most people did not stare at me which was surprising and refreshing. One should definitely try South Indian cuisine and pastries and other bakery products in Hyderabad, they are truly amazing and fresh! Never tasted bakery products better and fresher than that!

I feel secure in this location. I have no significant concerns about my personal well-being or the security. I would feel safe walking around and I trust that the community and local authorities maintain a strong focus on security. But there are very few disgusting men i came across but I'd think that's inevitable as a women..

Hyderabad is generally a safer city compared to the other metros in India but as a whole, the country isn’t the safest for women anywhere. I’d say when visiting, definitely be in trusted company and preferably not be out and about on your own unless it’s the developed and tech oriented parts of town.

I never had any instance where I felt unsafe in hyderabad. This is my personal experience after living here for over 6 years. But I have heard few instances about rapido and mugging in remote areas from my friends and team

About me

Living for the thrill of finding something new about myself in every place I explore! There’s just something about getting lost in the beat and rhythm of a place. It’s one of the few things that genuinely excites me and breathes new life into me. I haven’t been able to travel nearly as much I wish to due to poor health for 5 years after covid but I hope that can change now. :) hoping to meet some amazing people along the way and the lovely women who are opening up their homes to host!
