Full briefing
Udaipur is generally safe for visitors, with a safety score of 77/100 as of July 2026, indicating a low risk for most travelers. The city is often cited as one of India's most welcoming destinations, particularly for solo female travelers, and violent crime against tourists is uncommon, especially in popular areas like the City Palace and Lake Pichola.
However, visitors should remain aware of common tourist-targeted scams and petty theft. Rickshaw drivers may attempt to overcharge or steer you to shops that pay them a commission. Touts may approach you with offers to sell gems or art with promises of resale profit, which is a common scam. Always agree on fares before beginning a journey or use ride-sharing apps. Be cautious in crowded markets and tourist spots where pickpocketing can occur.
While the overall crime rate is low, a recent incident in August 2026 involved the murder and robbery of an elderly couple, highlighting that serious crimes can still occur. Travelers should exercise caution, especially at night, and maintain standard safety practices such as securing valuables and being aware of their surroundings. The Government of Canada advises exercising a high degree of caution in India, and the UK's FCDO advises against travel near the India-Pakistan border, though these do not specifically target Udaipur. Health advisories for Dengue and Measles are in effect globally.
