Mama India! One of the most powerful holy place on the Earth. This was my first solo trip, it was challenging but I had very good time. I ventured out to Goa, Varanasi, Himachal Pradesh and I spent some time in Delhi as well. I can't wait to go back.

Nainital is one of my favorite places on Earth! The lake is so beautiful and surrounded by greenery. There is hustle and bustle in the markets and street shops, all admiring the beauty of the lake. Staying in a comfortable place perched on the hillside, you will find gorgeous views. Locals are genuine and helpful, but be aware when walking in the Tibetan market area because there is the possibility to be targeted by child pickpockets! All other areas are normal and not as congested, but that...

I was volunteering in Jodhpur for the longest time but I had a chance to do tourism during my two last months, and it was absolutely breathtaking !! I was staying in Hostels and met so many friendly people, even stayed friends with some of them. India is huge, every state is like a different country with its language, culture, food… amazing !!

Dehradun is a super safe valley however recently crime has been more looking at the population. It has always been green, peaceful and serene but recently people moving in from nearby places and Delhi have caused ruckus.

Bengaluru is beautiful , much safer than most of Indian cities , however need to be cautious and avoid night travel, the city is modern and has all facilities needed. The airport has good connectivity to all major international and national locations

Pune is beautiful city , however as solo women travel one should avoid travelling at night as precaution , the food is good and the city is calmer , it’s easy to travel to mumbai from here hardly takes 4-5 hours in bus or train

About me
Dancer at heart, researcher by profession, and traveller whenever I get the chance. I love good food (making and eating), spontaneous plans, long walks in new cities, music that makes me move, and a little bit of chaos in between. Also veryyyyyy likely to stop mid-conversation to pet a random animal.

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.
