I consider India my second home. ❤️ I love this country so much. I’ve been there 6 or 7 times already, and I never get tired of going back. Of course, every country has its good and bad sides, but I truly believe that India is a place everyone should experience at least once in their lifetime. Personally, this country has completely captivated me. There is something about its culture, energy, colors, people, and spirituality that keeps drawing me back. ❤️🇮🇳 India has a very special place...

Almost opened up a bakery here. I went hiking, made friends, went into a very calm state of mind while watching the sunset and was very happy! It’s not easy to get to this place, but if you ever get the chance, it’s worth it!

I normally travel solo like I kinda book an experience where solo traveller travel in a group and the iternery is fixed . For Manali I travelled with zo trips . And it was really good experience. But make sure that you look out for traffic, it gonna be one long one if you get stuck in traffic. There is a park in Maal road , near the monestry, that park is calm and peaceful . So if you get tired of the noisy streets you can go there and chill.

Darjeeling is a mesmerising hill station. A great escape from your daily routine. I was there for about a week but oh how fast it went. From getting up early morning to go to Tiger point to view sunrise to then grabbing fresh authentic English breakfast from Mall Road! Everything about Darjeeling was just amazing. The famous Kanchenjunga ranges were also clearly visible from the town of Darjeeling

Amazing experience. Great weather. Lovely sunsets and view. I saw flamingos there from nri complex. Did night outs and felt safe during entire night. Police was making rounds in the area and making sure we were safe

Explored the entire Mahabaleshwar within a week. Booked a cab service who'd show us everywhere, but we did out research before. The food was expensive but worth it. Out stay was a small size villa or guest house since we only wanted to rest there.

Amazing city, with amazing places to explore. Food is very authentic and delicious, surprisingly very different from the northern cuisine. The night vibe is amazing. Travelling at night in terms of safety is good if you are travelling inside the city. Outskirts of city can be a little risky if you are all alone. It is great if you keep your medium of communication to English (best) or if you manage to learn little phrases in Kannada, people will appreciate it a lot. Overall the city has a...

Loved the vibe of this place. There is calmness even when there’s chaos. The place has amazing people, food and places. Sott NG beside Ganga everyday was the best part of the trip. Never for once felt unsafe or anything. Easy to commute as well

South India is safe in general but North India is the worst so please travel carefully. Food and water wise it didn't go with me so well but overall was ok. PLEASE VISIT SOUTH INDIA ONLY, NOT THE NORTH

I feel safer in Banglore compared to other Indian cities. The airport is very far from the city though with no public transport after 10ish so if you're planning to visit choose a flight that'll land in banglore during daytime as it takes 1 hr to reach the city from cab. Avoid staying in outskirts of the city not much public transport there either. I travel alone in banglore many times it's mostly safe but be cautious if after 10pm don't visit places which are less crowded in night. Hangout...

Shillong is mostly a safe place but it’s better to be careful at night because of the druggies around. It’s a nice place to roam around, explore the nature specifically if you love hiking, trekking or camping and better if you’re in a group but solo one should take precautions

Its safe in day time, but I wouldn't want my girls out at night, unless ofc its the buzzing city side with lots of pubs/cafes/late night open places around. Day time, all is fun and safe! Just look out for shopping prices if you are a tourist! Bargain sweetheart, yes you definitely CAN! (Colaba market)

It’s safe only some parts of Pune isn’t like Bhosari , chinchwad ,wagholi At night u have to be safe The crime rate is moderate but travelling outskirts of Pune can be unsafe to travel solo at night

Well, you could go out all alone until 10 pm in the night, unless you have your vehicle and another person travelling along (specially a man you know of), nothing to worry about as such. Be safe and be cautious while you in Noida

It's a safe place to visit and hang out. Do not talk to drivers at night when alone ⚠️. Take care of your belongings while travelling using local means of transport 👥.

About me
I have lived in 7 cities in past 15 years, across India. I would similarly like to explore the world. My current plan is to visit the seven sisters in North East India. Places in my bucket list are Machu Pichu in Peru, Masai Mara in Kenya, Egypt. I wish to scuba dive, see the northern lights, visit the untouched caves and waters. I spent my 20s on responsibilities and now I want to live my life just travelling and gaining new experiences.

I'm a simple soul and love travelling. I run a small hostel here and do not mind hosting anyone. I want my place to be a safe place for women to come and feel at home as that's something I feel strongly about in the travelling community.
