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...

Hyderabad being a Tier 1 city, one of the major metropolitan cities in India - it is safer across the city with well connected metro commute but I would still advise to avoid few areas for fellow women to stay out of theft!

Pretty safe except for the old city. Avoid going out at night. Hi-tech city is super safe. So are Gachibowli, Jubilee Hills, Madhapur, Kondapur, and financial district. Clothing in old city needs to be conservative for the most part

It is generally very safe :). The city is happening. Major places should not have any issues for you. Public transport is connected via metro & buses; ample taxis & autos available. Police is active & efficient usually.

It’s safe during the day in the developed areas of the city, mostly the city centre but I would be cautious if I were going anywhere at night. Uber is the most reliable option if I was going alone. Sharing the location with your family/friends is a must

I am here to explore the world of solo travelling. I would like to travel internationally more, while Tango-ing wherever I can and connect with like minded people.
