• Avoid walking alone at night.
• Avoid unlit areas.
• Check with your hostel/hotel staff if you’re not sure about certain areas, and ask if there is anywhere you should avoid.
• Safety in numbers – try to travel with others when possible, especially on public transport.
• Try not to get too drunk if there’s no one around who you trust to look after you. Same goes for drugs (and that includes bhang lassi).
• Be aware of your surroundings at all times.
• Always know your way home/back to the hostel.
• Keep a tight grip on your valuables and don’t flash them about in crowded areas.
• Don’t be too quick to trust strangers (applies to locals and fellow travellers).
