India offers a rich blend of cultural heritage, natural beauty, and modern amenities, making it an appealing destination for South Korean travelers. With 4.3 million Koreans traveling abroad annually, a portion of them may find India’s diverse landmarks and ecosystems worth exploring.
India's safety for tourists, including those from South Korea, is a complex issue. According to the Global Peace Index, India ranks 114th out of 160 countries, significantly lower than South Korea, which ranks 45th. The murder rate in India is 2.9 per 100,000 people, compared to South Korea's low rate of 0.5. In terms of organized crime, India has higher indices for various crime categories, such as human trafficking (India: 7.0, South Korea: 6.0) and resource crime (India: 7.0, South Korea: 2.0). While India has a vibrant culture and many attractions, travelers should remain vigilant and informed about their surroundings, as crime rates are generally higher than in South Korea.
