Can girls go to India alone? Precautions for free travel in India

India is a popular tourist city, but we all know that the status of Indian women is very low. It is often said on the Internet that it is dangerous for girls to go to india tourism, but some people say that it is nothing to go to india tourism. So is it possible that it is highly suitable for girls to travel alone?

Is it suitable? India is not suitable for girls to travel alone. If you really want to go, I suggest going with you (a confident muscular man is better), not traveling too badly, staying better and eating better, or joining a group?

In fact, it is very dangerous for girls to travel alone without going to India, let alone going to India. Bian Xiao has seen a documentary before. It's mainly about what it's like for a girl to walk alone in the streets of India. We can see Indian men staring at girls in the street, so going out must be risky.

In india tourism, there is more than 10% chance of having a bad stomach and more than 50% chance of encountering unpleasant things.

In India, if girls don't go out at night, only go to crowded scenic spots during the day, don't go to desolate places, wear trousers, don't wear skirts or sexy clothes, and the probability of encountering unfortunate things is still relatively low.

(It is said that this kind of travel mode is too difficult, right? Why not go to the low-risk area first and accumulate good experience before trying this difficult one? )

Traveling with a group cannot guarantee complete safety, and it is very risky for women to go to India alone.

Life is your own, think twice before you act.

Don't get carried away by those beautiful and mysterious travel videos Where to travel, you must do more raiders, carefully determine the tourist location and then set off.

I didn't know the situation before I left. Although I came back safely, I still want to use this topic to remind my friends who are going to India. After all, even CCTV is showing a india tourism promo.

Precautions (for commonly used drugs, some medical friends have pointed out their shortcomings, please don't refer to them)

(1) About dining: For hand-grabbed rice, it means basic rice, a large plate of curry, vegetables, fruits and meat ... For people who are not used to it, it is best to prepare a spoon when traveling.

(b) About water: The water quality in India is not very good.

It is recommended to drink more bottled water, including brushing your teeth with bottled water only or bringing your own mouthwash; Buy mineral water, be sure to see if it has been unscrewed; Sanitary wipes can be prepared more; Most hotels have electric kettles, but they are not necessarily particularly clean. If they are particularly particular, you can bring your own.

(3)

About sockets: Because the local power sockets in India are different from those in China, you need to buy a printed power converter (Indian standard or South African standard) in China.

(4)

About mobile phone cards: Any small shop marked with a mobile phone card on the street can apply for a mobile phone card, fill out a form, prepare a passport and two one-inch photos, and it will open in 1 days. Remember to remind the boss to roam; There is no charge for iphone card cutting; Recharge at least 100 rupees to activate the SIM card. At this time, the card can only be received, not dialed. If you need to make a phone call, you should recharge at least 50 rupees.

India's local mobile phone number can choose Airtel, one of the mainstream operators, to call mobile phones in India at 0.6 rupees/minute; For international calls, you can choose a discount package. The package for calling back to China is 35 rupees/month. After choosing the package, you can call back to China at 6.4 rupees/minute. GPRS traffic fee is 98 rupees/1GB/ month; 149 rupees /2GB/ month.

(5) About safety: Be careful on the train. Someone will take your suitcase, so take care of your luggage and shoes. All your things are locked in a box, and then the box is locked on an iron pipe.

When visiting the temple, bring plastic bags with shoes to avoid shoes being lost.

India's infrastructure construction is very backward, with narrow roads, many cars and almost no overpasses and underground passages. Cars, motorcycles and pedestrians are mixed together, and crossing the road is very scary. What's particularly bad is that because Indians drive on the left, it's hard for China people to get used to it, and they always look in the wrong direction when crossing the street.

Because India is also a big religious country, it is generally safe. But in India, we must pay attention to two things: don't be cheated and pay attention to your valuables. The classic Indian scams are: Tu Tu.

The car takes you to the hotel to get high profits from it; Tell you that the scenic spot is closed or closed for other reasons, and he can take you there; Talk to you to win your trust and then take you on a high-priced tour group or something.

(6)

About currency: it is convenient to bring US dollars, and the exchange rate is very cost-effective. However, most places don't use US dollars directly, so they have to switch to Indian Rupee before going to the store. There are many places in popular tourist cities where foreign exchange can be exchanged, such as New Delhi and Kolkata. If you change it, you'd better change more at a time, otherwise the exchange rate will be lower in small cities.

In India, only HSBC takes UnionPay, not many. The VISA gold card of China Merchants Bank can be withdrawn at the local ATM. It is best to withdraw money from ATMs of Standard Chartered and Citibank, and the handling fee for each transaction is 200 rupees.

(seven) about commonly used drugs:

1, cold medicine: for this kind of disease, you should choose according to your own situation.

2. Traditional Chinese medicine preparation: it can cope with common cold symptoms with few side effects.

3, antipyretic and analgesic drugs: can reduce fever and relieve headaches, joint pain and other symptoms.

4, histamine antagonist: can reduce sneezing and runny nose, and has a slight analgesic effect.

5. Anti-motion sickness drugs: For dizziness, vomiting and other symptoms caused by horse riding, boat riding, airplane and other sports, you can choose motion sickness drugs.

6. Digestive drugs: In response to this situation, you can choose to take these vitamins and digestive drugs for beneficial bacteria, but you can't use them together with antibiotics and bacteriostats. Or choose Chinese patent medicine. Drugs can also be selected for indigestion, nausea, vomiting and burning sensation in the stomach caused by chronic gastritis.

7. Anti-allergic drugs: Allergic patients can bring some chlorpheniramine and chlorpheniramine, which are suitable for allergic eczema, allergic rhinitis and drug or food allergies. Combined with antipyretic and analgesic drugs, it can control symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose and cough when catching a cold.

8. Antidiarrheal drugs: Berberine tablets are generally used to treat diarrhea caused by gastroenteritis and intestinal bacterial infections. Or choose Chinese medicine pills for treatment.

9. Band-aid: used to deal with accidental injuries;

10. Antimicrobial agents: broad-spectrum antibacterial agents can be used to deal with bacterial infections in various systems of the body during travel. When diarrhea is severe, it can be used with berberine tablets at the same time.

1 1, smell of gunpowder: it is easy to get angry if you don't have a good rest while traveling. Niuhuang Jiedu Pill or Huanglian Shangqing Pill can be prepared for clearing away heat and toxic materials, and can be used for treating sore throat, gingival swelling and pain, tinnitus, aphtha and constipation.

12, cooling oil or toilet water: used to treat mosquito bites and dizziness.

There are also my travel notes posted on a travel website after my trip, in which I mentioned the dangerous situation during the trip n times and tried my best to remind all travelers of the possible risks: (note the editing time, 2065438+February 2007).

On the first day of my trip, I met my local guide, who is an Indian. He studied in Northeast China for three years, and his Chinese is 666. Tell us again and again that we eat and live in the rich areas of India and are protected by armed police, but don't go out to play alone at night! Don't take a group photo when you meet local people (why not? What's the danger of taking a group photo? Will you lose anything when you are photographed? I didn't understand at that time), I shouted or called the police, even if I met a beggar, I had to avoid it.

I went in with two relatives. I thought I'd be safe. Two Indian girls came to take a photo, but they didn't want to agree. Later, they dragged me away, thinking that they didn't understand what I said, so they left with them (still in the scenic spot at this time), and then they dragged me into the crowd. Suddenly, many Indian men surrounded me. There were eight or nine of them, and dozens of them gathered at once. I got separated from my relatives. They can't hear you either. Just as they were about to call the police in English, the shrill siren sounded. An Indian policeman rushed into the crowd and pulled me out. The Indian police shouted at the crowd (I don't know what he shouted) and the crowd dispersed.

The Indian police immediately pulled me to the gate of the scenic spot and said (in English) that you were in danger just now and they were going to do bad things to you. Now you are out of the scenic spot, find your car and stay with your companions.

I stayed up all night in India for two nights. On the train from Delhi to varanasi (one of the three major religious resorts in the world, the birthplace of Buddhism, the place where Ganges Night Festival and Morning Bath are held), I was accosted all night. Even if the players are nearby and nest on their upper bunk, I try not to go to the bathroom, because as soon as I get out of bed, the Indians follow me to the bathroom door and then follow me to bed. One night, more than eight people accosted.

At the Taj Mahal, two Indian girls took me there and caught me off guard. People who came to ask for a group photo felt unfriendly. They surrounded me, and before they could react, the police came to disperse the crowd.

After this happened, I took out my silk scarf and sunglasses, and strangers ignored me. It's much safer to walk all the way like this. So in India, besides men, children and women should also pay attention.
