Women Travelers
It is relatively safe for women to travel around, but your privacy rarely
respected. Staying safe is a matter of common sense. There is special ladies
queue and also separate railway compartments. But, still you might be harassed
and touching up. Best way is to avoid eye contacts, never stay late out
side, and wear decent cloths (try the local dress called salwar kameez,
very cheap and practical)
Traveling with children
Children of all ages are welcomed, being greeted with warmth. Winter is
recommended when traveling with children. Diarrhoea and vomiting are the
most common problems, so take the usual precautions. Also take enough sun
cream, as in winter also the days are quite hot. Avoid tap water, only mineral
water (of good company) is recommended.
