WOMEN TRAVELLING ALONE IN INDIA
Women, foreign and Indian, often have to face unwanted attention.When travelling alone looking, staring and/or harrasment often happens in crowded places such as on public transport or in queues. Where possible, use "ladies only" queues and sitting areas on transport. Trains have separate coaches for ladies. Some buses have sitting areas for ladies only. Avoid eye contact, and ignore unwanted attention. Also avoid walking alone in quiet and rougher parts of any city. This, of course, is a common sense practice in any country.When booking a taxi- use your hotel to make the booking where possible. Note the numberplate. Do not hitch-hike under any circumstance.Dressing modestly is a good idea.
