Is Kerala safe for solo female travelers?

Solo travel

So far having a great time, I’m staying at a retreat, very quiet and peaceful. Enjoying the beach and markets! I’ve met some really nice people and enjoyed the delicious food. If you want a retreat recommendation please feel free to message me!

My airbnb check in was not pleasant. Upon check in they said if I need AC I need to pay extra 300 per day. Total 900 for 3 days. Booking from mytrip website it was not mentioned. It was burning hot.

When you're planning to visit kerala I suggest you to avoid shady and dark places . and try to avoid visiting places or unknown areas after 8'0 clock in the evening.

as a North Indian woman, Kerala was a breath of fresh air. I did not have to worry about stares, unwanted attention or harassment. the cleanliness is also top notch. if you are a foreigner or a solo woman of any nationality and want to explore India, start with Kerala. it is the state with the highest literacy rate and it shows. even when I was wearing more revealing clothes and standing out from the locals who were dressed conservatively, people didn't give me any unwanted attention. (PS. don't follow my example. why take risk dressing in revealing clothes. always wear what the locals wear...
