# Is solo travel safe for women in India?



## Answers

### Answer by Arif Ahmed

Many women travel solo in India and have wonderful experiences, but taking precautions is wise.

- **Research destinations** and choose well-reviewed accommodation.
- **Share your itinerary** and live location with family or friends.
- **Arrive in new places during daylight** when possible.
- **Use registered taxis** or app cabs and check vehicle details.
- **Dress according to local norms** in conservative areas.
- **Trust your instincts** and leave uncomfortable situations.
- **Save emergency numbers**: 112 for emergencies and 1091 for the women’s helpline.

Women-only hostels and group tours are good options for first-timers.
