In an ideal world, you wouldn’t have to worry about this, but this is the unfortunate reality. So as they say, better safe than sorry. We recommend researching the place your college or workplace is located in, nearby areas, and the crime rates in those areas.

But unlike bland English food, the city’s vegetarian dishes will be a treat to your palette. Each one, unique from the other. And if you love colours and festivals, Amdavad’s Navratri and Garba will be your jam.

So if you’re in a profession that requires a lot of travel at late hours – like a BPO or a doctor – Coimbatore should be on your list of places to work in.
Chennai
Chennai is not all about Idli-Dosa and Rajnikanth. It is a city with a major south Indian culture, be it architecture, music, dance, drama or sculpture. But, most importantly, it also has a low crime rate, making it a safe place for not just Indian women, but also tourists and solo travelers from abroad.
