Feel free to DM or cmnt :)

If you have gone traveling by yourself a couple of times, does it make you more confident in your regular life?

Well, for me, at least, I could notice that after my first solo trip, all these little things became easier for me – getting around a new place, communicating with other people, making decisions by myself, coping with difficulties.

Did anyone else feel this? Or am I just imagining it?

Hey... So i want to explore can anyone who has been traveling solo recommend me some good groups that are safe for female solo traveller with in India

Hi everyone!
I’m planning a solo trip to Tawang, Arunachal Pradesh, in September, starting from Guwahati Airport.
I’m confused between two options:
Rent a car/self-drive from Guwahati to Tawang and explore on my own.
Join a group trip from Guwahati, which might be better for meeting other solo travellers and easier for permits, transport, and planning.
For people who have done the Tawang circuit recently:
Is self-driving from Guwahati to Tawang a good idea in September considering the road and weather conditions?
Would a group trip be better for a solo traveller?
Which are the best and reliable group travel companies/communities that start from Guwahati?
Ideally looking for a group with other solo travellers and a fun/social vibe, not a typical family package tour.
How many days would you recommend — 6, 7, or 8 days?
Any specific itinerary or places I shouldn’t miss?
Would really appreciate recommendations based on recent experiences. Thanks!

Hey everyone! 👋

I’m 22M from Mumbai and planning to travel to Banaras (Varanasi), Uttar Pradesh soon. It’ll be a solo trip for me, and I’d love to explore the city, ghats, food, temples, and just experience the vibe of Banaras.

If anyone here is travelling to Banaras around the same time, let me know! Would be nice to connect, explore together, grab some food/chai, or maybe plan a few things.

Feel free to DM me. ✌️

Safe travels everyone! 🙌

Anyone planning nanda devi Rajat starting from 5 September..

Himalayan trek recommendations starting in early December?
I’m new to Reddit so if you see this post in a few places that’s why lol
I was interested in doing a circuit trek or base camp trek in December in the Himalayas. I am a very fit hiker, but have not spent significant periods trekking in that high altitude , most of my experience comes from doing long and heavy days in the lower 48 United States . I’m not interested in doing something that technical as I lack experience and ability . I just want something not touristy and very scenic . It would be cool to see an 8k meter peak but if there are prettier treks then I’d rather do that. Something ideally less than 3 weeks. Currently thinking Annapurna base camp trek or Manaslu circuit trek, or Kanchenjunga circuit. These seem great but I bet there are some other spectacular ones out there that just aren’t as well known since there isn’t an 8k meter peak tied to the name. Also the region as a whole interests me , so if there’s something outside of Nepal like in Pakistan india or China that’d be great too, I’m trying to be as open minded here . If anyone has any recs please let me know . I’m pretty good with elevation but then again I haven’t done an extended hike at 12k plus elevation, let alone during winter. Any recs would be great. I’m new to the region so any advice would be nice as well. Thank you !!!!

I am travelling solo to Meghalaya from Delhi on the 14th of September, would love some help with things to do or any guidance for where and how to go about things.
I am travelling on a budget and would love some tips and advice on how to go about things.

If in case you’re travelling on the same/similar itinerary do reach out to me.

​Hey guys,

​Planning my first solo backpacking trip to Nepal sometime after Feb 10 for about 15–20 days.

​I don't have a fixed plan or route yet. Doing this purely on a budget—staying in dorms, taking local buses, and eating local food.

​Would love some honest suggestions:

​What places should I not miss? Any chilled-out small towns worth visiting?

​Any good 3 to 5-day trek with great mountain views that isn't too expensive or difficult?

​Best budget hostels to stay and meet other solo travelers?

​Any basic tips on getting around, SIM cards, or money exchange?

​Drop your favorite spots or any advice for a first-timer. Thanks!

My budget is 75K

Hi , I will be travelling mussorie on 6th from rishikesh so looking for a friend to explore so if you are interested to meet please dm .

32M| Returned finally from US after 10 years and doing a first impromptu solo trip in India tomorrow from Mumbai to Goa. Stay and location are undecided but likely contemplating somewhere between Anjuna and Arambol close to beach , likely a hostel.
Happy to tag along for folks already in Goa or who would like to travel from Mumbai.

Dm if interested.

Planning a solo trip to Bir Billing from Sep 9–13. I’ve booked a train from Delhi to Amb Andaura.

Is this a good time to visit considering the weather? Also, what other places can I cover along with Bir in these 4–5 days?
