Solo Trip : 5 Places to Go in India Part 1

You don’t have to give it too much thought if a solo vacation to India is in your future. Everyone may enjoy a unique and unforgettable trip to India. If this is your first solo travel, you will be spoiled for choice with the various possibilities available in India. Travelling alone may be a time of great personal growth and discovery. Solo travel is good for the body, mind, and spirit, especially if you want to get away from the masses or broaden your horizons.

Delhi

Delhi is the city that houses New Delhi, the capital of India so you will be safe there. Most tours of the nation begin in this exciting metropolis, so you can expect to run across many other tourists. There is cheap lodging available (Paharganj is a favourite area for travellers), and the metro makes getting about the city a breeze.
The Red Fort and Qutab Minar, the highest brick minaret in the world at 72.5m, are must-sees for every tourist (238ft). The Lotus Temple is a relatively recent architectural marvel completed in 1986. Its 27 marble petals join together to form a shape that evokes the titular flower. Try some of Delhi’s amazing street cuisine to keep your energy up; some of the best options are loaded paratha (flatbreads), hot samosas, and juicy kebabs.

Tawang

Picture this: you wake up in a quaint old hill village in the Himalayas. After a good night’s sleep, you open your curtains to a view of the sun rising over a vast range of snow-capped mountains.
When you gaze up at the blue sky, it’s as if it’s asking you to break out and take pictures of everything. Tawang, in Arunachal Pradesh, is an attractive highland station. Many budget travellers and lone tourists visit this town to learn about the unique Indo-Tibetan culture since it is home to the greatest Buddhist monastery in India.
The city’s natural beauty has been preserved without the interference of artificial carbon footprints. Clear sky, towering hills, gushing waterfalls, and lush green woodlands complement the area’s rich cultural heritage and historical significance. Visit Tawang and get some peace of mind in the tranquil atmosphere of this town.

Kasol

Kasol, a tiny town in Himachal Pradesh, is a popular tourist destination because of its idyllic setting on the banks of the Parvati River. The abundance of trekking, rafting, and water activities will satisfy your adrenaline junkie, while the area’s stunning natural beauty will feed your eyes and spirit. Kheerganga, Malana, and Tosh village in Kasol are all well-known hiking destinations.
Kasol is sometimes referred to as the “Amsterdam of India” because of the town’s reputation as a hotspot for psychedelic trance parties and other hippy extravagance. It’s also filled with friendly, outgoing travellers and visitors from all over the world. Tourists and environment lovers alike will find Himachal to be a veritable paradise. Although Kasol is quite safe for travellers, you should only explore the city during the night.

Rajasthan

Rajasthan is the ideal destination for a lone traveller due to its rich cultural history and welcoming locals. This realm of royalty will transport you back in time with its magnificent forts, temples, palaces, and villas. Visit stunning historic landmarks, relax by tranquil lakes, go on a shopping binge at the city’s greatest markets, and dine on authentic Indian cuisine while travelling alone in this beautiful city.
Some of the best things to do in this area include taking a village tour, going on a safari in the forest or the desert, camping, boating on Fateh Sagar Lake or Pichola Lake, or riding an elephant at Amer Fort. Travellers looking for a place to stay may choose from a wide variety of top-notch establishments around India, including the luxurious LaLiT Jaipur.

Rishikesh

Rishikesh is a tiny town in the Dehradun district of Uttarakhand, not far from Haridwar, that sits at the confluence of the Ganga and the Chandrabhaga rivers in the foothills of the Himalayas. The city of Rishikesh has earned the title of “Yoga Capital of the World” due to the abundance of yoga and meditation centres located within its boundaries. Rishikesh is a Hindu pilgrimage site and a gateway to the Garhwal Himalayas.
The ashram of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, widely known as The Beatles Ashram thanks to a visit by the Fab Four in the 1960s, is a popular destination for lone travellers from all over the globe. White water rafting, bungee jumping, mountain biking, and camping have all gained popularity in the once-quiet town, which has long been known as a spiritual centre.
These heart-pounding pursuits may be had along the rushing Ganges, which has long been a draw for budget travellers and lone adventurers. The first week of March sees the city play host to yoga practitioners worldwide for the International Yoga Festival. Rishikesh is a secure place to explore, and being a respected pilgrimage site and one of the top solo trip places in India, you will likely run across other solo travellers from all over the globe. Even so, it’s always a good idea to have street smarts.

By removing themselves from their normal environment and routine, solo travellers may learn as much about themselves as they do about the world. It’s an opportunity to take a break from the day-to-day grind and instead focus on yourself, your goals, and the things you’re good at and can improve upon.
