My sister was there last year and she hated it, Originally she was going to spend 2 months there but left after only 2 and a half weeks. She couldn't go anywhere without being hounded for money and men would try and touch her up wherever she went. I hope your pal is prepared for it. My sister has travelled the world for best part of last 4 years and she's seen and been in some bad places but she rates India as the worst place she's ever been.

Don't let that put you off tho.
