India's Safest Cities for Women
Ahmedabad
The largest city of Gujarat, Ahmedabad is tied with Bangalore as the second safest city in the survey with 12 percent votes. The administrative headquarter and judicial capital of Gujarat, Ahmedabad may not be one of the first preferences by solo travelers; however it is one of the safest cities in the country as per the Solo Women Travelers Survey.
Nikhil Ganju, Country Manager of TripAdvisor India pointed out the rise in the number of women travelers. He further said, “Another interesting insight is that 78 percent respondents said they would prefer to stay in an all-woman’s hotel or on a women exclusive floor in a hotel, when travelling alone.” On the latest trend of women travelling solo the report said, “It’s a break from tradition as Indian women seek adventure and experience and are confident, enthused and eager to travel on their own terms.” The survey also brings to light the disturbing fact that 94 percent of the female respondents worry about their safety, always or at least sometimes, when they travel alone within India.
