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 !!

It's pretty safe. It's a slow pace moving city. In terms of being safe. Just be aware of your surroundings here. Tourist places can be a little unsafe. But other local areas are good. Not great in nightlife so keep your eyes on yourself while stepping out at night.

Chennai in general is a safe City. But Chennai has almost zero night life and I would suggest it's better not to be out at less populated parts of Chennai after 11 if you are alone. That being said I have never felt unsafe in Chennai, but I have not been outside alone at night.

Gurgaon is comfortable and safe in most areas, especially if you’re in a car or with company. That said, like many big cities, solo women may face staring or occasional unwanted attention, so being mindful, especially at night, is important

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.
