Golden Triangle Tour With Ranthambore

All in all, an insanely amazing trip. First and foremost, a big shoutout to our driver who was always polite and attentive, demonstrating a very high level of driving skills in this crazy traffic. We felt safe throughout. The organization was also very good. Both the hotels and guides were very friendly, and everything was straightforward. We were among the lucky ones who had the chance to see three tigers, but we also knew not to be disappointed if it didn't happen as it's quite rare. The only criticism concerns the restaurants where you are "dumped" for lunch during long car rides, for example from Delhi to Jaipur. These places, in terms of cleanliness and food quality, border on outrageousness, and you feel ripped off.

Some Do's and Don'ts of Solo Travel

• While it is liberating to not have to check in with people constantly while travelling alone, make sure someone has the numbers of the places you'll be staying at.
• If you are going to a place where your phone might not get network and you are not sure where you'll stay, get an MTNL/BSNL sim-cars for your phone as most places do catch their signal.
• When going to a cold place, always carry en extra pair of woollen socks that can also double up as mittens for when your hands start to get cold.
• Always have some money strapped on your person for if your luggage were to get lost, you can at least get by to a safe location with some money.
• When backpacking, keep it light as you'll only have to carry the bag like dead weight. Backpacking to colder places is better since you can re-wear the same clothes a few times, without sweating in them and feeling mucky.

That’s why you should join us on a small group tour. Not only will you have a legendary local leader to show you around and handle all the logistics, but you’ll also have ready-made friends to share all the curries with, snap a candid of you at the Taj Mahal and make long sleeper train journeys feel not so, well, long. You might be travelling solo, but you’ll never feel alone.

The perks of solo travel in India with Intrepid

A local leader

As a solo traveller, it’s easy to stick to the tourist trail. You take a selfie with the Taj Mahal, stroll around Red Fort or kick back in Goa. As great as these places are, you may miss out on those unexpected experiences that happen off the well-trodden path. A group tour isn’t like that. OK, you'll tick off big-ticket sites, but you'll also have an expert leader to introduce you to famous chai wallahs, take you to the best street food vendors and give you recommendations for your free time.

India can be overwhelming sometimes, but it's generally a safe country for travellers and you should be able to enjoy your trip without any problems. That being said, scams, petty theft and pickpocketing (especially in crowded places) can happen. Our leaders know the areas to avoid after dark, can haggle at markets and will help you avoid pickpockets. It’s all the flexibility and freedom of independent travel, but with fewer risks.

Ready-made friends

Go solo, but not alone. That’s our motto. The average Intrepid trip has about ten people on it – people of all ages, backgrounds and places from all over the world. You're welcome to have as much downtime as you want to relax or explore your way, but it's nice to have travel pals to whizz around in a rickshaw with, share a biryani or have a chat over the breakfast table. Joy's doubled when it's shared.

Logistics and convenience

We get it – the thought of navigating busy bus stations and embarking on your first overnight sleeper train can be a little daunting. Travelling alone in India can be confusing and complicated, but not when you're with us. We'll organise your accommodation, public transport and all other logistics of travel so you don’t have to worry. Sit back and enjoy the ride, we've got your back.

Do I need a COVID-19 vaccine to join a solo tour in India?

From 1 January 2023, Intrepid will no longer require travellers to provide proof of vaccination against COVID-19 (excluding all Polar trips and select adventure cruises). However, we continue to strongly recommend that all Intrepid travellers and leaders get vaccinated to protect themselves and others. 

Specific proof of testing or vaccination may still be required by your destination or airline. Please ensure you check travel and entry requirements carefully. 

Learn more about Intrepid's COVID-19 policy

Will I have my own room?

It's your call. Rooming on our trips is organised on a twin-share basis, but most of our trips also have the option to pay an extra fee for your own room. Just let us know at the time of booking and we'll arrange it for you.

For twin-share rooms, we pair up solo travellers with another traveller of the same gender as per the gender marker on each of their passports. As a responsible tour operator, we strive to create a safe and inclusive environment for everyone. In the case that your gender identity differs from what's indicated on your passport, please  contact us  so that we can discuss rooming options with you.

On a small selection of itineraries some accommodations are booked on an open-gender, multi-share basis. In those instances it will clearly be stated in your Essential Trip Information.

How does group time work?

Whether you’re travelling alone or with a partner, our trips have a set itinerary. But within that there’s time set aside for your own exploration (if you want to – no pressure). Depending on how you're feeling, you may want to have some downtime, ask your guide for a few tips then head out alone, or hang out with the group and see where the day takes you.

Do I need to purchase travel insurance before travelling to India?

You sure do. All passengers travelling with Intrepid are required to purchase travel insurance before the start of their tour. Your travel insurance details will be recorded by your leader on the first day of the trip. Due to the varying nature, availability and cost of health care around the world, travel insurance is very much an essential and necessary part of every journey.

Learn more about travel Insurance

Are credit cards widely accepted in India?

Credit cards are being accepted in an increasing number of cafes, shops, restaurants and hotels/hostels in India, with Mastercard and Visa being the most common. That said, cash is still king, especially outside of cities like Kolkata, Delhi and Mumbai.

Are Intrepid's India tours accessible for travellers with disabilities?

Intrepid is committed to making travel widely accessible, regardless of ability or disability. That’s why we do our best to help as many people see the world as possible, regardless of any physical or mental limitations they might have. However, we’re always happy to talk to travellers with disabilities and see if we can help guide them towards the most suitable itinerary for their needs and where possible, make reasonable adjustments to our itineraries.

Learn more about Accessible Travel with Intrepid

Our solo travel safety guide

Share your itinerary.

Good advice for us all, but particularly for people travelling solo. Make copies of your itinerary, contact details, passport and travel insurance, then email them to yourself and to one or two friends/family at home. Check-in on social media when you can so people can keep track of where you are. 

Remember the little things

If you’re arriving late in a city by yourself, book a hotel with a front desk or concierge service (many hotels also offer private transfers that don’t cost the earth from the airport or train station). If you're travelling with us, we can help you organise an arrival transfer. Read your maps  before  you head out for a walk (you can use a map app on your smartphone – or take screenshots of where you’re going if you don’t want to use up your precious data). If you need to check your map when you’re out and about, duck into a shop or café to do it. Leave the blingy jewellery, wedding rings and designer clothes at home, and aim to dress like the locals do – hit up the local markets if you haven’t packed the right outfits. Aim to keep track of travel times, so you’re not caught out after dark.

Roam if you want to

Most mobile/cell providers now offer travel passes to help manage your international roaming costs (which, let’s face it, are expensive!). For a few dollars a day, you’ll have access to data, which means you can log into your apps (like Skype, email and WhatsApp) when you’re out of WiFi zones and quickly get in touch with someone – a friend at home, someone in your group, or the police – if you need to. It might also be worth checking out the local cell/mobile providers as these can be quite cost effective. 

Fare's fair

Solo travellers are way more likely to be ‘taken for a ride’ at the airport by unscrupulous taxi drivers, so do your research before you arrive. Make sure you get a cab from the airport/station taxi rank – if you’re not sure where to go, just head to the information desk for help. Touts tend to hang out in the arrivals area and promise cheaper rates, but can often be dodgy. When you get to the cab rank, ask the driver to use the meter or request a cost estimate  before  you hop in the car – if it’s way higher than it should be, pick another vehicle. A lot of airports have train stations attached as well, so consider public transport if you want to save a dollar or two.

Stick together

It’s one of the advantages of travelling solo on a group tour: safety in numbers. The big, 50-person bus groups stand out on the road, but a small Intrepid group of eight or nine people, with a local leader showing the way – including areas to avoid and getting around safely – won’t draw much attention. Plus, it’s a great way to see parts of the world you may feel uncomfortable exploring on your own. If you want to do things on your own, consider a day tour to familiarise yourself with a city and get to know the local way of life. 

Trust your instincts

Solo travel is all about confidence. If you’re relaxed and self-assured on the street, you’re more likely to blend in. When you meet new people, don’t assume they’re all out to get you, but be sensible too and trust your gut. If it feels wrong, it probably is. Remember: the popular tourist areas are often the most well-lit and secure, but they’re often a juicier target for pickpockets and scammers. Just use your common sense; half of travel safety is simply being aware of your surroundings.

India Group Tours for Solo Travellers

Travel solo as part of a group tour to India

why travel solo to india?

Ancient spirituality, urban vibrancy and an eye to the future combine to tantalising effect in India.

On a group trip with other like-minded solo travellers in India, you’re in for a rich sensory experience. Whether you’re weaving through the rickshaws of Delhi, navigating the back alleys of Jaipur or drifting through the backwaters and beaches of Kerala, you’ll find moments of beauty at every corner.

Ancient traditions are the lifeblood of Indian culture. The birthplace of Hinduism, Buddhism and Sikhism, this is a country that exudes transcendental spirituality, evident in everything from architecture to everyday beliefs and locals threading marigolds outside temples as offerings.

The north is home to India’s most iconic (and chaotic) cities. Yet travel south to Kerala, and you’ll find yourself in another, more-tranquil world altogether. One of lush coconut groves and inviting beaches, with fragrant gently-spiced curries never far out of reach.

Top places to visit in India

This state on India’s tropical Malabar Coast is a beach lover’s dream with nearly 600km of Arabian Sea shoreline. Inshore from its palm-lined beaches you’ll find vast tea, coffee and spice plantations on the slopes of the Western Ghats, and backwaters to explore by boat.

The Taj Mahal may be Agra’s biggest tourist draw, but it’s not its only attraction. The Mughal empire has left its rich history within the city through a grand fort that overlooks the banks of the Yamuna River, as well as tombs and mausoleums.

Embrace the chaos of Delhi to truly make the most of a trip here. A wander around the city will have you weaving around tuk-tuks, spice stalls and strings of macaques silhouetted over rooftops, via haggling merchants and textile shops. Take in the local street food on a tour or turn to the temples to dial down the pace.

The capital of Rajasthan displays its royal history through opulent palaces and erstwhile aristocratic homes, many now converted into character-filled boutique hotels. At the centre sits the grand City Palace complex with an old town encircled by rose-toned walls that give “The Pink City” its name.

Solo Trip in India: Destinations, Budgeting and Safety Guide

The idea of a solo trip to India seems fantastic. The freedom you get when travelling by yourself can scarcely be described. Pack your bags, get going, and visit a place as it was intended to be seen. You’ve always wanted to go on a solo trip to explore and learn more about different areas, whether hiking in Manali , seeing forts in Udaipur, or going island hopping in Goa. To maximise your unique adventure, a solo trip in India allows you to choose a trip plan customised to your interests and preferences. This kind of holiday offers a chance for introspection and personal reflection, making it a great choice for people who wish to look inward.

Solo Backpacking in India

Backpacking is a European concept that is quite new in India. It means to travel in a manner that saves more money and is sustainable – stay in less expensive places, spend less, and carry your belongings in a single backpack.

Backpacking is a sustainable travel option. It helps you be aware of how much you’re littering so you can help conserve the environment. Public transport is used to commute around, which further helps reduce the carbon footprint.

If you wish to solo trip in India, backpacking is a great option for the Earth and your pocket!

15 Top Solo Trip Destinations in India

1. Explore the Pink City of Jaipur

With Delhi and Agra, Jaipur is a corner of the renowned Golden Triangle, sometimes called the Pink City. It is a beautiful combination of the old and the new. It was formerly a region of Rajput kingdoms and is a popular destination for female tourists. Spend 2-3 days in Jaipur, easily accessible by rail and air, and select from various accommodations at backpacker hostels.

Safety Tips for a Solo Trip in India

While it is free to travel alone and not continually check in with others, make sure someone knows the phone numbers of the accommodations you’ll be staying at.

· Get an MTNL/BSNL SIM card for your phone if you are travelling to an area where your phone might not have service and are unsure of your accommodations because most locations do receive their signal.

· Always keep enough cash on you so that you may make it to a secure area if your luggage is misplaced.

· Keep your pack light when hiking so you don’t have to lug around extra weight. Going on a backpacking trip in a cooler climate allows you to reuse some of your clothing without getting sweaty and disgusting.

· When travelling alone, knowing a few basic words in the local tongue will be helpful, especially when engaging with the people. Knowing how to say “please” and “thank you” is also helpful since they may be used to request things more successfully, acquire restaurant suggestions, and other things.

· Solo travel makes it simple to meet new people. People with similar interests are drawn to one another. When you feel lonely in a strange area, start a discussion with others nearby. Making friends can help you overcome any travel phobia and allow you to meet new people going to the same place. It might also help you cut costs when you share cabs with people you meet.

Budgeting for a Solo Trip in India

Budget plays the most important role in how and where your trip is. Your major costs will be accommodation, transport, and meals. Usually, it takes Rs. 5,000-8,000 for a 3-4 day solo trip in India per city/destination.

Accommodation:  Choose hostels or guesthouses in the city. Dorm rooms will cut your accommodation costs – they usually start at Rs. 300 per night.

Transport within the Destination:  Use public and local transport facilities instead of taxis and cabs unless necessary. If you’re going shorter distances, you can choose to walk.

Meals:  Try eating at local restaurants and cafes or stalls. Blend in like a local regarding meals rather than going to expensive places for food.

Discounts:  If you’re a student, look for discounts at sightseeing places and transportation centres.

A transforming adventure, a solo trip in India offers the adventurous traveller a tapestry of encounters. As you embark on your voyage, you will be immersed in a nation brimming with rich culture, history, and varied landscapes. Several places to visit in India may satisfy any wanderlust needs. Many dimensions of India’s attractiveness are yet to be discovered, including its festivals’ exuberance, people’s friendliness, and the delectable variety of its cuisine. Beyond the sensory assault, a solo trip in India presents a special chance for personal growth as you explore the differences and complexity of this fascinating country.

I’ve been exactly where you are, hence I put together these India solo travel tips to help and guide you. It may seem overwhelming to start with but, after 3 successful trips, I’m proof you can have a rewarding and trouble-free trip to India with a little planning.

My experiences travelling solo in India

I first visited India in 2015 with a friend, and plucked up the courage to return for 2 months solo in 2019. I was nervous about what it would be like alone but I managed to overcome any challenges and have a fantastic time! Then, I returned again in 2023 to host my first group tour with readers of this blog.

Is it safe to travel in India alone?

Telling people you’re taking a solo trip to India usually results in negativity. But, as I share whenever anyone asks for solo travel tips , you need to be selective when taking advice. Has the person been? Are their sources up to date? Well, if not, smile and move on. I’m here to share a little reality and try to hopefully strike the right balance between encouraging and preparing you . Is India the easiest destination to travel solo as a woman ? Well no . Will you get looks and stares and sometimes feel uncomfortable and overwhelmed? Well, most likely yes . Is that a reason not to go? Well, if you are confident and prepared, no . Can you have a fantastic trip alone in India that’ll provide some of the most wonderful, precious memories of your life? YES!!

All in all, India is not for everywhere and it’s not the best first-time solo travel destination. It may be best to build your confidence up in other places first. If you hate crowds and getting stared at, it may never be your place! But I love it. We all know the best things in life don’t come from taking the easy route. If India appeals, you owe it to yourself to experience this culturally-rich, contradictory wonderland that’s like nowhere else on earth! Overall, it is safe to travel alone in India provided you stay cautious and follow the right advice. I’ve broken down my tips in the order you’ll need them…

Planning tips for solo travel in India

Prior to your trip, spend some time focussing on the following…

Choose carefully where to go

Unlike travelling solo in Thailand , Vietnam , Malaysia or Bali (click for solo travel guides to those places), you can’t travel everywhere alone in India. I would recommend choosing easy places to start, for example:

• Rishikesh – this hippie town in the mountains is known for its yoga culture and all things related like meditation and sound healing. Put on the map by The Beatles (whose old casa complex can still be visited as a tourist attraction), it’s become a popular tourist destination with gorgeous river beaches and mountain scenery to boot.
• Goa – this is an obvious first destination for solo India travel. My personal favourite place was Palolem (and nearby Patnem) with beautiful beaches and amazing food (local and healthy/vegan). Other popular tourist towns in Goa include the capital, Panjim, and beach towns Agonda, Aramobol and Anjuna.
• Rajasthan – although it’s busy and hectic, this is a well-trodden part of India where tourism is concerned and every city has fantastic hostels and guided activities where you can ease yourself in. Read about the best places to go in my Rajasthan itinerary .

Stay on grid

Travelling solo in India is very different from travelling Southeast Asia alone . When I offer advice for backpacking Europe alone , I’ll tell you to get off-grid and escape the tourist trail as it’s safe and easy. However, I wouldn’t recommend this for India because attitudes to women vary considerably when you get out of more progressive cities where they’re used to seeing tourists. Small, non-touristic towns in India are where you don’t want to be. Stick to places with solid tourist infrastructure, recommended by reputable publications or other foreign travellers with first-hand experience.

Plan, plan, plan

This is my number one solo travel tip for India, and in fact any country. Life’s surprises can be great but you don’t want any nasty ones when travelling alone in India. Research how you’ll get from the train station to your accommodation and be aware of common scams for each destination. Pushkar has a few , as does Delhi airport .

Don’t pack too much into your itinerary

Since life in India can be hot and hectic, you run the risk of getting exhausted and emotionally overwhelmed if you’re constantly on the go with no downtime. The other thing you need to prepare for: getting sick and having to spend a couple of days recovering! For this reason, I’d suggest not booking too much non-refundable accommodation just in case. Booking.com usually have a generous refund policy, and Hostelworld lets you pay a very small deposit to ensure you can cancel close to the time!

Safety tips for India solo travel

There’s no point sugarcoating it: personal safety is most people’s biggest concern when travelling to India. These are my tried and tested travel tips to stay safe while travelling solo as a woman .

Arrive by day

This is an obvious but important safety tip. As a general rule, I’d recommend arriving in places during daylight hours. If you DO have to arrive at night due to public transport schedules, there are workarounds. If you have a local SIM, you can call an Uber in most larger towns and cities. In smaller places, ask your accommodation to send someone to meet you or pre-book a taxi.

Charge your phone and power bank

These days, it’s hard to imagine what it would be like to travel without technology. For all its pros and cons, tech makes it so much easier and safer to travel solo in India. I ensure my phone doesn’t die on me when I need it by travelling with a power bank . I usually charge it overnight and boost my camera and phone off it during the day.

Get a SIM card

On the note of staying connected, I would highly recommend getting a local SIM when travelling alone in India. Jio, Airtel and Vodafone are a few of the main providers. They don’t make it THAT easy because you’re required to show your passport, visa and proof of home address to get signed up… But once you have, it’s worth it!

Update – Airalo are a game-changer in the e-SIM industry, allowing you to download an e-SIM in advance so you can connect as soon as you land. Browse their India packages from $4 or get their Asialink card that covers 18 countries including India.

It goes without saying you shouldn’t be travelling anywhere without insurance especially India where health and safety isn’t always the greatest, plus it’s common to experience gastro problems. Personally, I use True Traveller (for European residents including the UK) since it’s affordable but covers everything you need including valuables and pre-existing health conditions. The last time I claimed, they paid out within 2 days which I’ve never experienced with any other company! Get a quote now . For travel insurance for other nationalities, I recommend Hey Mundo and for long-term digital nomad travellers, I suggest Safety Wing .

Internet security

This isn’t your typical solo India tip but it’s very important… When my card was copied and I had to deal with hackers stealing hundreds of pounds from my account, let’s just say I wasn’t a happy bunny! This could happen anywhere, not just India, so I would always recommend using a VPN when travelling, especially when it comes to paying for things online or typing in passwords and usernames. Nord VPN is my provider of choice; their plans start from $3 a month.

Clothing and packing for India

I know lots of foreign travellers to India will have questions surrounding what to wear in India and how to dress. A good place to start is by looking at the locals and emulating them… Not in a cultural appropriation way, but simply by observing what body parts they cover and doing the same. India is a place where foreign travellers get a lot of attention whatever they’re wearing. So to minimise it as much as possible, I’d recommend covering your legs and shoulders especially in holy places such as temples. Because it gets very hot, you should opt for light, loose clothing where possible, preferably in pale colours to stay as cool as you can. Sunglasses, suncream, a sun hat and comfy shoes are also essentials.

Advice for getting around India alone

Travelling around safely is another point of concern for many travellers preparing for their first solo trip to India. If you’re unsure whether to travel by bus or train , I would suggest the train where possible. It feels like a more authentic Indian travel experience compared to buses which you can take in any country, plus it’s more spacious and you can get up and walk around. However, there are some places – like the mountainous region of Himachal Pradesh (including destinations like Dharamshala ) – where there are no trains, only buses.

How to book tickets

Thankfully, the complicated old system of booking train tickets (the official IRCTC ticket website which required receiving a text to an Indian SIM, or emailing your passport scan) is no longer necessary because you can now book tickets on the 12go website. Booking bus tickets is also easy with 12go .

Tips for riding the train

Riding the train is a fun, India essential!

• Understand the classes – AC First Class Sleeper has lockable doors, while AC2 has just curtains, then there’s also AC3 and Sleeper Class. I wouldn’t recommend the latter as it’s hot and crowded.
• Know you’ll be sharing – on Indian trains, you’ll be assigned a bunk (upper or lower) across from another bunk in a carriage off the train corridor. So, if you’re solo, you’ll be sharing with three others.
• You can eat and drink – chai sellers come around selling chia tea and coffee. Snacks and water are also sold.

Ride Uber or Ola

Within big cities, it’s easy to call Uber or Ola to get around. It’s very affordable: I paid 400 rupees ($5) to travel for an hour halfway across Delhi! It feels like a safe way to travel because there’s a panic/emergency service option on the Uber app.

Prepare your airport transport in advance

Annoyingly, Indian airports usually only let you use the Wi-Fi if you have an Indian phone number. You can get a SIM card in Delhi airport but it can take hours to activate. This means you won’t be able to use the internet between landing and getting to your accommodation, so you need to plan the journey in advance. 2024 UPDATE – now you can get an Airalo e-SIM so you can connect right away. Game changer! I would suggest getting your hotel or hostel to pre-book a taxi to meet you at arrivals. Make sure the driver knows your name and hotel as there are common scams where guys will pretend to be your driver (sometimes involving third parties to confuse you) then try and take you to a different hotel. If you haven’t booked already, head to the official taxi stand walking past any touts who try to get your attention. You pre-pay (card accepted) before getting in.

Tips for health and wellness

There’s nowhere I’ve been quite as sick as India! While it shouldn’t stop you from going, I would recommend that you prepare well. Of the various pros and cons of travelling solo , the numero uno con is getting sick without anyone to help. So do your best to prep in advance!

Take probiotics

I highly recommend preparing your stomach for your India trip. Probiotic tablets are your best bet because you can take them to India with you. Eating other gut-healthy foods like kimchi and kombucha in the weeks before your trip is also a good idea.

Water & sanitation

You probably already know not to drink the tap water in India. Most backpacker hostels offer free fill-ups so you simply need a  reusable water bottle . However, on my most recent (more flashpacky) trip, I realised that unfortunately, hotels make you buy plastic bottles which is a real shame. For better sustainability, bring a   filtering water bottle that makes any water safe to drink.

Have rehydration sachets ready

Being sick while travelling by yourself in India does suck, I can’t lie. Find something good to binge on Netflix and wait for it to pass while dosing up on electrolytes to restore your body’s natural balance. These can be bought cheaply from any pharmacy.

Money tips for a solo India trip

India is the most affordable travel destination of the 64 countries I’ve visited so far, but there are still some money and finance tips you need to know…

Read next: how much does a trip to India cost?

Fee-free bank accounts

Although ATMs in India usually charge a fee you can’t avoid, you can dodge further charges by travelling with a card that doesn’t charge fees of its own. My favourites for UK travellers are Starling and Monzo, but other nationalities can apply for Revolut and Wise cards ( Wise is also a great platform for transferring money between currencies with minimal fees).

Split up & have spare bank cards

This is a great tip for any destination! Losing your bank card abroad can be a nightmare. I travel with all the bank cards listed above partly because they’re great generally, but also because I have backups if one gets lost. Also, don’t carry all your cards at once. Just take out one and leave the others at your accommodation. When travelling between destinations on a train or bus, keep them all close to your person in your most secure bag.

ATMs in India charge between 150 and 300 rupees as a fee. For this reason, I take out the max amount each time of 10,000 rupees ($120). One thing to note is that ATMs are often out of cash so don’t wait until you’re totally out otherwise you may end up walking around all the ATMs in town hungry and thirsty!

Tips for making friends during solo travel in India

Just because you’re travelling solo in India (or anywhere) that doesn’t mean you have to spend every moment alone! There are lots of ways to meet people when travelling alone including…

Stay in hostels

This is the numero uno way to meet people backpacking in India! There are lots of great hostels including the Moustache , Madpackers and Hosteller chains. You can meet people in the dorms, in the social area, or during social events held at the hostel such as food tours and shared dinner nights.

Do tours & activities

Meet like-minded people during activities you both enjoy. I recommend both GetYourGuide and Viator who offer sightseeing tours as well as fun activities like street food tours.

Overwhelm & emotional wellness

The internet is full of tips for physical wellness alongside safety tips, but not everyone mentions emotional wellness. Travel is a privilege and India is a dream destination for many, however it can be emotionally taxing to be always ‘on’ in terms of assessing your surroundings and safety. So make sure to take care of yourself during your solo India trip! Book a nice hotel to relax and recover every now and then, or a private driver and airconditioned car for the day.

Stares and selfies

One thing to prepare yourself for is lots of stares from locals and copious selfie requests. The first thing to note is that 99% of the stares are purely curiosity, coming from not just from men but also women and children. Of course, there’s the odd occasion when men are being creepy. In this case, all I can recommend is ignoring them and getting on with your day. Of course, if you are feeling unsafe, stay in busy, public places and call a taxi to get away safely. In terms of photo requests, it may seem novel to start but will probably become an annoyance after the 100th one! Just know it is ok to say no if you’re not feeling it.

Ease yourself in

It may be worth booking a nice hotel for the first night and an aircon car tour for your first day. This is an especially good tip for solo travel in India if your first stop is Delhi which is notoriously hectic and overwhelming. Nice hotels in South Delhi (the most pleasant part of the capital) include Bloomrooms , Prakash Kutir Bungalow 157 , B Nineteen , Avatar Living and The Stay Inn . Check Booking.com for more. For your first train ride, you may want to treat yourself to AC Tier 1. Once you’re feeling comfortable and confident, get a bit more adventurous with 2 or 3!
