Solo travel

Kochi is a very safe city in Kerala, India. Mind you, it’s still India, so normal caution is advised when travelling alone as a woman, but overall I felt very safe. People are kind, welcoming and very curious to learn about a world where women can freely travel by themselves. I made excellent friends who I am still in touch with today.

O decided to do a trip with my mum and aunt. So, this was a special bond trip with these two ladies. Our tour guide was such a patient man- with three ladies and shopping😄. We visited Munnar, Thekeddy, Allepey and we didn't feel unsafe at all. People there have got higher literacy rate and their airport is one of the first airports which is powered by solar panels! Food, decadent and delicious..Very natural. Love the vibes of this state in India .

Kochi is really safe for solo women. Especially fort kochi. Although keep an eye out for some men ogling at you. However people are nice and sweet. For caution, it is best not to step out after 9 if you are alone

Kochi is really safe comparing to other cities. As it is based on the comparison, i wouldn't say that it is entirely safe. Kochi have to go a long way for providing full safety. But still I am able to walk at night at a moderate level of freeness
