India for Solo Female Travellers

Guide for solo female travellers in India

India is such a vibrant and culturally-rich country that planning a solo trip, especially while travelling solo as a woman, can seem intimidating at first. However, with a bit of foresight, any traveller can have an incredible solo adventure in India! 

You'll find different cultures, architecture styles, natural features, and foods everywhere you look in India, which means deciding which regions to visit can be difficult. However, it's important to note that most areas in India, especially larger cities popular for tourism, are usually very safe as long as travellers follow normal safety precautions. Always make sure to tell someone where you're going and when you plan on coming back if you venture out alone, be wary of travelling alone after dark or in less popular areas, and always make sure to be aware of your surroundings and your personal belongings. Update someone back at home about where you're staying and when you plan to get back in touch.

If safety is still a concern for you, a fantastic way of safely beginning a solo travel adventure is by joining a group tour. Not only will you enjoy greater safety and security by travelling with expert local guides in a group, but you'll also be treated to first-class experiences and the peace of mind that comes with someone else doing the major planning and coordination for you. 

We can recommend the following cities for solo travellers: Udaipur for welcoming locals, Rishikesh for peaceful yoga retreats, Jaipur for its incredible arts and culture scene, or Pondicherry for gorgeous beaches.
