[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have had multiple good friends from India tell me, in no uncertain terms, if you don’t have to go to India (like to visit family or for work) there is absolutely no reason to go to India. They dread going. [/quote]

I am 60 year old Indian woman.  I do not travel alone in India, and I go at least 3-4 times a year. It is a country of 1.8 billion people.  There are good and bad people.  I know what is safe and what is not, what is sketchy and what is not. I love, love, love Delhi and India and I cannot tell you how much I hate the hellish pollution and terrible air quality in Delhi - so the best time to go to Delhi is Feb-March imho.)

In India, I always have access to our family cars and trusted drivers, especially in cities.  I have been travelling extensively in India in the past 10 years - and my siblings, cousins, nephew and nieces, college friends will also accompany me for part or whole of the journey.  Actually, I have also travelled with my young kids alone also but again, I know how to do it safely.

I do not skimp on hotels, vehicles, guides and I make sure that these are reliable people that my family arrange.  As they say "India is not for beginners".   And I will concede to the wisdom and guidance of my family and friends when I discuss my plans with them, because India is always changing.
