With an approximate 10 million visitors from foreign countries each year, the security in India for tourists, on the whole, is considered mostly safe. There are a few risks yet awareness is what is considered key when traveling not just in India but in most Asian countries. You will find some of the most populated cities of the world in India obvious making it more vulnerable to small-time crimes such as pickpocketing, bag-snatching, scams, counterfeiting documents and tickets, and spiking food and drinks to rob a person.  Women traveling to India may be frowned upon if you don’t dress modestly and reveal your body skin parts just a little too much. To avoid any harassment, it advised to avoid walking alone at night time. Also, women should prefer sitting with other women if using public transport, and keep the doors of your hotel rooms locked from inside, if alone.

Although India remains safe for female travelers, the worst experience that may come across to you is an unwelcome attention from men. By being heedful of the probable threats, you can always dodge away from the harassment or other serious mishaps.
