Whether you want to dip your toes in the crystal clear waters of Palolem Beach or spend an evening in the Waichin Valley, there’s so much to see, to explore, and to experience - and when you do it alone, you get the opportunity to do it at your own time, own pace. Solo trips are perhaps becoming more popular for this very reason. Meeting new people, witnessing miracles, and making memories - come on, if you have ever dreamt about pulling an Eat Prey Love, then this is the sign you needed. Because you are not alone (ironically) - there are so many of us dying to disappear into mysterious cafes with beautiful sunsets. So why the wait? Let’s take one risk on this International Women’s Day and disappear on a much-needed solo trip. Top 10 Solo Trip Ideas For Women In This International Women's Day: The world is a BIG place, and maybe traveling to all corners will remain a utopic dream, but that doesn’t mean you can’t pick a country like our incredible India and see all corners. Because you totally can - there are so many solo trip packages for women that are safe and affordable. But first, we will talk about our destinations. So without wasting any time, scroll down to find out the best solo trip destinations in India for women! 1. Palolem Beach (Goa): And I have switched to my favorite - yep, first-person pronouns only! So, recently I traveled to Palolem Beach, located in South Goa. I am not exaggerating, but I felt so free - the waters were calm, the sunsets were stunning, the people were friendly, and the beach was safe. It was a beautiful trip, and I got to see a completely different side of Goa. 2. Waichin Valley (Himachal Pradesh): Image Source While Malana is a popular feature in lists of solo trip places, Waichin is Malena's shy sister, always chilling in the other room. There’s only one way to go to Waichin - you gotta walk from Malana village for about an hour or a little more, depending on your pace. The trail is a little pebbly, but Waichin Valley’s beauty is worth the trip. 3. Pulga (Himachal Pradesh): While I was doing my solo trip planning, Himachal Pradesh was one state that I just couldn’t ignore. And not because I was a fan of Kasol - I was done with Kasol. While hiking to Waichin was a beautiful experience, I did not come back home directly from Waichin - I stopped at Pulga and experienced my first-ever snowfall! 4. Pobitora (Assam): Image Source Assam is another beautiful state, but most solo travel packages never include Assam - Guwahati has become a pit stop for driving to Shillong. But last year, I was like, ‘no. I shall see what Assam has to offer.’ And Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary was my home for a week. Located on Brahmaputra’s southern bank, this grassland is home to Indian rhinoceros and other wildlife. 5. Kurseong (West Bengal): Image Source If you have never heard about Kurseong, note this name down on your solo trip planner right now. While people love popular hill stations like Darjeeling and Kalimpong, ditch those crowded places, and head over to the beautiful town of Kurseong for a peaceful weekend in nature’s lap. And the food is just so delicious. 6. Jaisalmer (Rajasthan): Jaisalmer is perhaps one of the best places for solo trip - and it’s heartbreakingly beautiful. This destination has so much to offer - intricately detailed monuments, mouthwatering food, colorful villagers, and different shades of the dessert. I am a sucker for all of the above-mentioned beauties - so why the wait? 7. Lamuney (Sikkim): Image Source If a trip to Solang Valley won’t make you feel what a trek to Sar Pass can make you feel, then there’s another trek that might interest you - it’s not very popular, but it can be difficult if you are not ready to commit. I did the Goechala trek almost two years ago - it was demanding, it was stunning, and it pushed me to my limits. Till date, it’s my favorite trip! 8. Jaubari (Nepal): Image Source You can walk to Nepal - yep! There’s a small village, only six hours from Siliguri - the place is called Dhotrey. If you are up for a two-day hike from Dhotrey, then you can reach Jaubari on the second day. It’s the smallest village I have ever been to - if you have done the Sandkphu trek, then you must have come across this village. It’s pretty, safe, and absolutely my favorite. 9. Auroville (Tamil Nadu): Image Source Did you know that Auroville is an experimental township located in the Viluppuram district of Tamilnadu? Only a year ago, I packed my bags and traveled to this beautiful destination. I loved the people here, everything was so colorful and aesthetic. I think if you are just starting on your solo traveling, then start with Auroville. 10. Andaman (Andaman): What can I even say about Andamans? Everything about these islands is simply stunning - from the golden sunsets to the crystal clear water of the Indian Ocean, I was mesmerized by these islands. If you are ever in doubt about which destination to pick, then save the best for the last - you won’t regret it! And It’s A Wrap! And that’s a wrap on the best solo trip destinations of all time - this International Women’s Day, just apply for that casual leave, pack your bags, and head over to any of these places. Of course, it all depends upon what attracts you the most. If is it the big blue sea? Or the snowy mountains of the north? And it doesn’t have to be like that - you can love the sea and the mountains together. Or, you can ditch them both and give time to wildlife.
