Darjeeling, Family travel
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

It was good, calm and a nice vacation in north goa with not much crowd. Can travel to different beaches even in short span. I have visited 3 beaches in 2 days and had a good time. Also I have spend midnight in the beach under moon, it was so good. Such a good experience.

Navi Mumbai, Solo travel
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.

Mumbai is overall a safe city. In comparison to other cities of India, I would say it’s actually the safest. We can easily go out to hang out late at night, the nightlife here is also great. Overall, I would rate the 8/10 in terms of safety

If you know me then you’re safe like everyone knows everyone it’s easy to trust anyone plus people are very respectful it’s all about Marwadi culture people are nice no clubs in the city but great food

It's mostly safe during the day but you still have to stay very alert. After night unless and until you are with a male you trust i would suggest not being outdoors. Better to stay indoors after 10 pm.

Not very safe for the ladies. Avoid night travel and keep your belongings safe while roaming in the open. Also, don’t trust people easily here, and only trust on people you genuinely know. Stay protected from the pollution level too of the city.
