Varkala is a beach town, close to many other towns like Aleppy, Kochi, Trivandrum. Quiet, peaceful and tranquil, I’d recommend it for anyone travelling solo in India for the first time. I stayed in hostels and went at the beginning of the season. So surf, accommodation and pricing was still relatively on the lower end. Definitely look up Barefoot Hostels there for the coziest, friendliest stay that is super clean and pocket-friendly!
Posted: September 1, 2025it's a beautiful area in the Nilgiri mountains in tamil nadu. I was there for 2-3 days and the temperature was around 15°c in the morning. It's a scenic town and can be reached via car or train. Do visit cherry berry there!

There are a lot of interesting places to go to and fun things to do and many great restaurants and cafes, also the malls are good too with fun vibes. The majority of the crowd is students but it still didn't feel safe because of the way people would stare at girls. I also heard incidents that happened while I was still there and it was about minor girls getting kidnapped and r**ed while they were going to their coaching classes. Basically never going there again.
Posted: August 23, 2025Experienced: November, 2019I have been living in Delhi since 2024 . I travelled to many places and I felt that traveling through metro is cheap but with private vehicle it is expensive. I only prefer to travel in morning because I don't feel safe at night .
Posted: August 7, 2025Beautiful scenic place with nice weather but overly crowded touristy areas. Some scammers trying to buy to stuff. Rest is good. Food is pricy as per local rates but affordable. Weekends are jam packed

Kolkata used to be a safe place previously but now I wouldn't say it is the same. There are only some localities that I find safe to roam around after dark, specifically the area around Dhakuria Lake or the Rash Behari Avenue and some places in Saltlake.
