Do your research well:

And make sure you pack all the stuff you will need to commute easily and without any hassle.

Book a hotel beforehand:

A great idea is to book a hotel at your travel spot and make sure the hotel you book provides a taxi service and they ensure you that they will pick you from airport as you land in India. As you won’t have to take a taxi on your own, you will be less vulnerable to many incidents like being mugged or harassed by a goon.

Make sure that you stay assertive:

Your politeness will not be mistaken for flirt but will be an obvious invitation to rape to the street vendors or shop keepers. Remember that asking for directions is free but make sure that you do not have to come across such a situation as it may lead to kidnap or harassment. Make sure that you stay extra cautious and appear confident when you are dealing with men and do not appear to be gullible. Do not become frank and maintain a serious attitude at all times so that they know they are dealing with a tough woman here.

Dress modestly:

Make sure that you wear modest clothing and by modest I mean no sleeveless or shorts and almost all the body parts covered. Make sure that you are wearing loose fitted clothes and no part of your skin is exposed. Do not wear any expensive jewelry or a watch. Make sure that you appear as local as you can to avoid minimal attention. Wear a scarf, especially during visits to any worship place. So, when in a certain region, dress as the locals do.
