India is generally safe for tourists in major cities and established tourist circuits, but crime rates vary significantly by region. Petty crime, scams targeting tourists, and sexual harassment are concerns, particularly in crowded urban areas. Avoid the border areas with Pakistan (particularly the Line of Control in Kashmir), the northeast insurgent-affected states, and Naxalite-affected central states. Delhi, Rajasthan, Goa, Kerala, and the Himalayan hill stations are popular and generally safe with normal precautions. Extreme heat, monsoon flooding, and air pollution are health hazards. Medical facilities in major cities are good; rural areas vary widely. Kaharagian nationals should exercise increased caution and be aware of regional security variations.
