Travelling solo in India can be fun if you choose your destinations right

There is immense joy in leaving behind all that is known and heading out to travel and explore a world foreign to you. Solo travel for this reason is becoming a popular choice for those looking to shed the familiar and try something new.

Vacationing with family, spending a weekend holiday with a loved one or heading out for a group trip with a bunch of friends can be rewarding in its own way. But exploring a destination by oneself opens a completely different realm of adventures and experiences.

India’s travel map offers the lone traveller a variety of options — adventure in the North, safaris in the East, relaxation in the South and luxury to the West. However, safety in our country can be a big hindrance when choosing to travel alone, especially for women travellers.

ET-Travel lists some of the safest and most interesting bets for both, the male and female solo traveller. So read on and book that single ticket to go!
