Bihar has a justified reputation for being the most dangerous place in India. Kidnapping is an industry here. Anyone showing signs of affluence is at risk of being abducted for ransom. There are few sit-down restaurants here, allegedly because those who have money do not risk flaunting their wealth. Avoid venturing out in the night time, travel only in groups and keep a low profile here.

Trains traveling through Bihar are more prone to theft, it's wise to lock your luggage to the seat in the carriage and keep more aware than usual.
