Is Kanpur safe for solo female travelers?

Though locals are typically friendly and willing to help, cultural norms and attitudes can sometimes feel a bit overwhelming. You may encounter street harassment in crowded areas. Always keep your belongings secure, travel in well-populated areas and avoid traveling alone at night. However, it is considered safe if you carry the awareness and take appropriate measures for your safety.

There are time when I have to go and come back on my own in day and evenings as well, and I’d say the experience was not too scary. The people are usually pretty kind, generous and helpful. I’d say it’s not that bad of an experience living here.
