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...

Pune District
It’s pretty safe for female travellers. But it’s better to be home by 11 pm. Also, public transport especially buses might not be very safe as compared to Uber or any other taxis. Metro can be very safe option.

Dehradun
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.

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.
