    I remember when I went to India 10 years ago. I was backpacking for the first time and planned a year in Asia.
    I went there as a naive kid wanting to experience culture and have some fun. India was my first stop. It was so miserable and I hated it. I started in Goa and went north towards Nepal. Nearly cancelled my whole trip.
    I admit I was naive. But it was just scam, after scam, after scam. I got diarrhea my third day, I had a train ride from hell that was supposed to take 12 hours but took almost 24 hours. The second I stepped outside my hotel I was flooded with men trying to rip me off. I could see the dollar signs in their eyes when talking to me.
    A wealthier Indian man I met said something to me that stuck: "People here don't act like ths because they are poor. They are poor because they act like this".

I have been to India 25+ times, and lucky to be able to be with local Indian friends and hired guides (former police or military Sikh's so no one plays any games whatsoever!) and it makes all the difference in the world. I find India, the people, its history, its culture, the greatest place to visit. Granted, while you are knee deep in it, it is overwhelming and exhausting (jet lag contributes as well), but I find when I get on the plane and that long journey back, and you have time to reflect what you have just been through and survived, a smile always comes to my face and I say, can't wait to go back!

    I live in Chennai and have visited Delhi many times. In my experience, safety in Delhi is a major concern. But it’s not just that-the pollution and dense crowds are also challenging to cope with. I’ve been scammed many times there, and it feels like Delhi is not just the capital of India, but the scam capital as well. What’s even more shocking is that the local cops seem aware of what’s going on but remain oblivious, allowing scammers to operate without any concern. When comparing Chennai and Delhi, Chennai is much better overall. The only issue in Chennai is the weather, which is hot and humid throughout the year. In Delhi, the climate varies, with very hot summers and colder winters. However, when it comes to scams, safety, and pollution, Chennai is definitely much better than Delhi

VERY. also watch your money and do not take it out freely. keep passports and other important documents close to your waist. and stay alert and dont be too trusting. oh yeah, cross the roads with the utmost care else you will end up as road kill.

    As far as getting hassled by touts goes India (or most of it anyway) is actually nothing like as bad as it was 20 years ago! I personally wouldn't advise getting a local guide unless they are recommended by someone you trust. A guide is just as likely to want to take you to their 'uncle's' spice, craft or jewelry shop (where their commission will inflate the price you pay) as any tout. It might be worth getting a car and driver for a trip to Agra to see the Taj Mahal at sunrise, which is something you should definitely experience, but otherwise it's best just to learn through experience how to deal with the irritations India throws at you. India has more irritations than just about anywhere else I've ever been, but travel there is also extremely rewarding. If you arrive somewhere on a train or bus and are overwhelmed by aggressive touts, go in the nearest cafe or restaurant and order a snack or a cup of chai. You can relax and collect your thoughts. By the time you've finished they'll be gone.
    Another tip is don't judge the general population of India by the scumbags who approach you in tourist areas. Although it's important to be aware that anyone who approaches you in a tourist area is highly likely to be seeking some kind of financial gain (whether through scams or commission), the same does not apply to the person you strike up a conversation with on a train. Especially if it's you who initiates the conversation.
