FrançaisTraveling in India as a woman by yourself is safe if you are aware of the dangers and if you take some precautions. Indian people are very conservative about how to dress, so wear long pants, hide your shoulders, chest and legs as much as you can. Try to avoid to walk alone in the street during the night, be careful when you take a taxi or a rickshaw by night : it is better to take a prepaid taxi (Meru Cabs). When you take the night train ask the upper beds, avoid to take the bus alone, prefer the train. Don’t be affraid of taking the metro in Delhi, men and women are separated.
