In any case, it is essential to take out travel or expatriate health insurance for you and your family. You will leave with peace of mind and can prevent financial, health, and legal risks that would arise unexpectedly.

Security
While India is not the safest country in Europe, it remains a country where you can travel without too much danger. Every year, millions of tourists tread the country’s soil without the slightest worry. However, there are a few basic precautions to take, especially if you are a woman. Sexual assaults are reported every year in India. We strongly recommend that women do not travel alone and cover their bodies while avoiding attention. As far as transport is, India is the world champion of road deaths. So be careful when driving or taking a Taxi. Finally, terrorism is also present in India. It is therefore important to be careful and avoid crowds.
