Should I Travel Solo?<\/h3>\n<p>As with any country, it pays to stay alert and keep your wits about you when travelling. India is most definitely safe to travel solo however this depends on your confidence levels when moving through busy cities and navigating challenging environments or situations. In some parts, English or your native language might not be available. Take note of local emergency numbers, carry a portable phone charger and avoid unfamiliar neighbourhoods at night to stay on the safe side.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Personally, India is like having a whole world in one place. There are so many parts that make up this extraordinary country and each corner of it is so unique. Urban India is fast paced where modernization is rapidly spreading, then you travel to the North and get spiritual ancient cities like Varanasi. Down South you will discover the laid back vibes Goa and the quiet rural villages of Kerala. Spiritually it is the same; in South of India you will find 17th century Catholic churches, Hindu Temples make up central India and Northern India you will reveal some of the largest Buddhist pilgrimages in the world.<\/p>\n<div>The best suited type of traveler for India would be someone who would like to experience a complete culture exchange as there is no country like it.
