Almost opened up a bakery here. I went hiking, made friends, went into a very calm state of mind while watching the sunset and was very happy! It’s not easy to get to this place, but if you ever get the chance, it’s worth it!

Manali, Solo travel
I normally travel solo like I kinda book an experience where solo traveller travel in a group and the iternery is fixed . For Manali I travelled with zo trips . And it was really good experience. But make sure that you look out for traffic, it gonna be one long one if you get stuck in traffic. There is a park in Maal road , near the monestry, that park is calm and peaceful . So if you get tired of the noisy streets you can go there and chill.

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

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.

Amazing city, with amazing places to explore. Food is very authentic and delicious, surprisingly very different from the northern cuisine. The night vibe is amazing. Travelling at night in terms of safety is good if you are travelling inside the city. Outskirts of city can be a little risky if you are all alone. It is great if you keep your medium of communication to English (best) or if you manage to learn little phrases in Kannada, people will appreciate it a lot. Overall the city has a...

Loved the vibe of this place. There is calmness even when there’s chaos. The place has amazing people, food and places. Sott NG beside Ganga everyday was the best part of the trip. Never for once felt unsafe or anything. Easy to commute as well

South India is safe in general but North India is the worst so please travel carefully. Food and water wise it didn't go with me so well but overall was ok. PLEASE VISIT SOUTH INDIA ONLY, NOT THE NORTH

Well, you could go out all alone until 10 pm in the night, unless you have your vehicle and another person travelling along (specially a man you know of), nothing to worry about as such. Be safe and be cautious while you in Noida

It's a safe place to visit and hang out. Do not talk to drivers at night when alone ⚠️. Take care of your belongings while travelling using local means of transport 👥.

Almost pretty safe as long as you make sure your belongings are safe and you carry a phone with you. But avoid traveling alone at nights via public busses, autos and cabs if possible. Metro is okay but make sure to be on call with someone if possible

Delhi is not safe for girls. It would be better to be at home before 10pm. Mainly Cannaught place, gtb nagar, old delhi. Yes old delhi is unsafe most. To visit red fort i would recommend visit at broad daylight

i’ve been living here for 12 years, and never felt a safer city in India like Pune. The police are usually on rounds during the night hours and there are people especially bachelors roaming around the city all the time.
