Is Kashmir safe for solo female travelers?

Kashmir, one of the most beautiful places in India, does pose moderate safety issues for solo female travelers. High military presence due to the ongoing political conflicts and instability can be concerning. Although incidents of crime against tourists are not high, it's important to be cautious due to territorial disputes that sometimes result in violence. However, if you avoid politically sensitive areas and times of local tension, it could be a rewarding destination. Irrespective of this, it is strongly recommended to stay in reputable accommodations, avoid isolated areas, and keep reliable local contacts. Remember, your safety primarily depends on your awareness of your surroundings and precautionary measures.

How safe is Kashmir for solo female travelers?

Solo travel

I had a lot of reservations before traveling to Kashmir solo. But honestly, Kashmir is probably one of the safest places to visit for solo travellers. It's expensive for sure, one needs to be willing to spend but if you can manage to get a good guide, you may be able to experience the local culture too.

About me

Hi there! I'm Priyanka, a consultant based in Mumbai with a love for exploring new places, cultures, and cuisines. My travels often take me to bustling cities and serene landscapes, and I enjoy meaningful conversations and discovering hidden gems along the way. When I’m not traveling, I love baking, painting, and solving Sudoku puzzles. I’m also passionate about social impact and spend time mentoring underprivileged kids and conducting workshops on personal financial planning and menstrual hygiene. I’m here to connect with like-minded women who share a passion for travel, exchange tips, and maybe even plan an adventure together. Let’s make our journeys safe, fun, and unforgettable!
