Exercise increased caution with higher advice levels in some areas

Overview

There are more significant safety or security concerns than you would usually find in New Zealand, with some areas where you should avoid non-essential travel or avoid all travel.  

There is a significant threat of terrorism in India, including in areas visited by foreigners and tourists.  

Other things that New Zealanders travelling or living in India should be aware of are: 

  • Crime—watch out for sexual crimes against women, petty crime and drink spiking. Scams are also common in India.
  • Road travel—car and motorbike accidents are common, causing injury and death. Avoid taking public transport. 
  • Civil unrest—demonstrations and protests are common, and may result in violence.

See below for detailed travel advice.
