Full briefing
Jodhpur presents a mixed safety profile for travelers. While official data indicates a generally low risk of violent crime and a high degree of confidence in daylight safety, recent reports highlight specific concerns. Travelers should be aware that the city has experienced disruptions due to strikes at AIIMS Jodhpur, impacting non-emergency medical services, though emergency care remained available.
Petty crime, such as pickpocketing and bag-snatching, is a moderate risk, particularly in busy markets like the Sardar Market area or when using crowded public transport. While violent crime is not prevalent, walking alone at night carries a moderate risk of mugging or robbery, so exercising caution and sticking to well-lit, populated areas is advisable. Be wary of common scams involving overcharging by auto-rickshaw drivers or unofficial guides, and be cautious of unsolicited offers for tours or purchases of goods like gemstones.
The Canadian government advises exercising a high degree of caution in India, and while Jodhpur itself is not specifically highlighted for severe risk, this broader advisory suggests maintaining heightened awareness. Travelers should also be mindful of the current health advisories for India, including global concerns for polio, dengue, and measles. The extreme heat in October, with highs around 38°C, also poses a health risk, so staying hydrated and protected from the sun is crucial.
