Stay Safe

Being quite a conservative region, most of southern India shuts down as early as 9.00pm (This is of course not the case in metro cities like Bangalore). So, tourists are advised to plan their travel accordingly. One might find it difficult to find public transport or cabs after 9.00. Also, it is advisable to not carry valuables or cash while traveling late. The four states have relatively better policing, and one can contact the police in case of any emergency by dialing 100. Free ambulance service can be reached by dialing 108.
