Question about visiting India?

me and my friend are planning to visit Taj Mahal and some other places in india. and i want to know if its safe for me and my friend to visit. i am 20 and my friend is 21 and is it safe if we walk around the city and go shopping together?






Answer :
When i visit a place any where in Europe the question whether it is Safe or not lingers there too !! Please remember that Agra is as safe or not as YOU make IT. As a veteran traveler i learnt long time back ....a) not to show my money. b) avoid eye contact. c) avoid alleys after Dark. d) Move in group . e) always ask questions from shop keepers or COUPLES ( with a women in it ) f) cover your *** by leaving behind any excess money and passports in the hotel .

Now coming to your question. YES visiting Agra is safe.

If you are making it a DAY -visit. You may take a train " TAJ EXPRESS" from DELHI rly st. The train starts early morning at around 7 ( plz chk the time ) and reaches around 10 in the morning .You can go straight to TAJ and then see the old city around it. IF you take a guide ask for his licsence. Visiting Agra could be fun . After seeing the old agra city , if you wish you can go and spend some time at Fatehpur sikri . take a cab if you are coming back the same evening , since the train leaves at 7 pm ( plz chk th time) and reaches Delhi at 10 pm .Going to Fateh pur Sikri you may be surrounded haggled/ troubled by the guides etc. Hence best way out is either make a friend amongst other INDIAN families that are visiting the place ( It takes a smile to do so ). OR AVOID it totally.. if its a day visit , since there is soooo much that one can do in Agra itself.

Have fun and Enjoy TAJ






Answer :
Like everything about India, the answer is a bit complex.

Violent crime against tourists is very rare, so no need to worry too much about that.

Petty crime, scams, and other stealth rip-offs are a different story. Particularly if you have a deer-in-the-headlights look about you, then you'll be fresh meat for an impressive array of con-men who are impressive at separating you from your money. Keep your money in a moneybelt next to your skin; don't flash big wads of cash, and don't trust strangers who approach you on the street.

The Taj Mahal is stupendous, but Agra (where the Taj is located) is a den of slimeball con-artists. Jaipur also has lots of creative con-artists. Again, don't trust anyone on the street and keep your valuables well protected.

The biggest safety issue is not so much crime, but is wildly chaotic traffic and dangerous drivers. Be careful crossing every street, and don't hesitate to tell your driver something like "if I have to tell you twice to slow down, then you won't get a tip."

No need to be paranoid...but be aware and be vigilant.

Have a great trip!
