Some Do's and Don'ts of Solo Travel
- While it is liberating to not have to check in with people constantly while travelling alone, make sure someone has the numbers of the places you'll be staying at.
- If you are going to a place where your phone might not get network and you are not sure where you'll stay, get an MTNL/BSNL sim-cars for your phone as most places do catch their signal.
- When going to a cold place, always carry en extra pair of woollen socks that can also double up as mittens for when your hands start to get cold.
- Always have some money strapped on your person for if your luggage were to get lost, you can at least get by to a safe location with some money.
- When backpacking, keep it light as you'll only have to carry the bag like dead weight. Backpacking to colder places is better since you can re-wear the same clothes a few times, without sweating in them and feeling mucky.

India Group Tours for Solo Travellers
Travel solo as part of a group tour to India
why travel solo to india?
Ancient spirituality, urban vibrancy and an eye to the future combine to tantalising effect in India.
On a group trip with other like-minded solo travellers in India, you’re in for a rich sensory experience. Whether you’re witnessing a sacred ceremony on Varanasi’s ghats, navigating the back alleys of Jaipur or drifting through the backwaters and beaches of Kerala, you’ll find moments of beauty at every corner.
Ancient traditions are the lifeblood of Indian culture. The birthplace of Hinduism, Buddhism and Sikhism, this is a country that exudes transcendental spirituality, evident in everything from architecture to everyday beliefs and locals threading marigolds outside temples as offerings.
The north is home to India’s most iconic (and chaotic) cities. Yet travel south to Kerala, and you’ll find yourself in another, more-tranquil world altogether. One of lush coconut groves and inviting beaches, with fragrant gently-spiced curries never far out of reach.
![solo tours of india Card image](https://www.flashpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/IN1_CountryPage-552x552.jpg)
Top places to visit in India
This state on India’s tropical Malabar Coast is a beach lover’s dream with nearly 600km of Arabian Sea shoreline. Inshore from its palm-lined beaches you’ll find vast tea, coffee and spice plantations on the slopes of the Western Ghats, and backwaters to explore by boat.
The Taj Mahal may be Agra’s biggest tourist draw, but it’s not its only attraction. The Mughal empire has left its rich history within the city through a grand fort that overlooks the banks of the Yamuna River, as well as tombs and mausoleums.
Chaotic, crowded and full of colour, Varanasi is the India you imagined. Witness sacred Aarti ceremonies on the vibrant ghats, explore narrow winding streets dotted with ancient temples and take a sunrise boat ride along the Ganges for a unique glimpse into India’s soul.
The capital of Rajasthan displays its royal history through opulent palaces and erstwhile aristocratic homes, many now converted into character-filled boutique hotels. At the centre sits the grand City Palace complex with an old town encircled by rose-toned walls that give “The Pink City” its name.

We all dream of traveling solo at least once in our life. To be independent and explore every corner of a new city without anyone second-guessing our decisions is a dream come true. Solo travel is empowering and enables one to embark on a journey of self-discovery. However, for a very long time, India has been regarded as an unsafe place especially for female solo travel , and has often stopped them from venturing out alone. To keep the travel bug in you alive, Wander Womaniya has prepared a list of some of the safest destinations in India that are high on wanderlust and will leave your wandering soul satisfied. if you are looking for Solo travel packages for Mixed groups.

Cannot decide between hills and beaches? In Udupi you can experience the best of both worlds.

Solo travel in India is actually very popular. I am a solo traveler and I have spent more than eight years solo traveling and living in India altogether. Personally, I think India is a great destination to travel alone for several reasons. One, the people are friendly and warm, and traveling by yourself helps you to engage with local people and experience the culture. Two, India is a particularly good destination for voyages of self-discovery or spiritual quests.
Many people, myself included, feel India is the most transformative travel destination for Westerners – and solo travel is the best way to have a transformative experience.
In fact, India is the destination of choice for many solo travelers and spiritual seekers. Western travelers from Mark Twain to The Beatles, and from Steve Jobs to author Elizabeth Gilbert (who wrote the phenomenal bestseller Eat, Pray, Love ) had profound experiences in India. If you go to India with an open attitude, you may also find the experience affects and changes you.

Safety Tips for Solo Travel in India
Safety is, of course, a concern for all travelers and especially solo travelers. The usual cautions about doing research, using common sense, following safe travel practices, and listening to your gut instincts apply, and here are several culturally specific tips to follow.
- Watch for scams . The biggest danger tourists face in India is getting scammed. There are scam artists and con men everywhere, not just in the markets and bazaars. They prey on tourists at the airport and train stations, and in popular tourist spots, to take advantage of unsuspecting newbies. If a “helpful” man tells you that your hotel burned down, the chances are 100% that it’s not true. It’s hard to know who to trust in India, so you do have to have your wits about you.
- Get a local SIM card . India runs on apps and WhatsApp so you will need it constantly so you can stay in touch.
- Arrive during the daytime . Try to time your travel so that you don’t arrive late at night, especially at train stations. If you absolutely have to arrive late at night, arrange for a driver to pick you up. They can wait on the platform, at your coach, so you don’t have to be alone in the station.
- Dress modestly . For women, ensure your shoulders, legs, and cleavage are covered, and avoid skimpy, tight, and see-through clothing. The exceptions are the beach in Goa and certain parts of Mumbai such as Bandra.
- Take a tour . For your first solo travel to India, or the first few weeks if you are planning a long trip, take a group tour or a custom tour. You can take the time while on a pre-organized tour to learn about how to travel in India and build up your confidence.

Where and When to Go
India is the seventh largest country on earth by size, and the most populous. The culture changes drastically from state to state. In fact, India is more like Europe, a collection of very different cultures, than one homogenous culture. And it’s also a subcontinent, which means you have almost every type of geography and climate from the high Himalayan mountains to the searing hot Thar Desert, and from the lush jungles of Central India to the tropical beaches of the south.
When you travel solo to India, deciding where to go is the first order of business. A lot will depend on the weather. India has three seasons: winter (October to March), summer (April to June), and monsoon (June to September). Most people find October to March to be the most pleasant time to visit India. However, it can get very cold in North India in December and January, and also very foggy. Expect travel delays, especially around the Delhi area. In the very north, for example, Ladakh, it can be very cold and snowy in winter. June to September is the best time to go to Ladakh. May and June are the hottest months and best avoided.
The three seasons in India:
- winter (October to March)
- summer (April to June)
- monsoon (June to September)
Most foreigners fly into either Delhi or Mumbai, both great cities to start exploring. Delhi is the gateway to the so-called Golden Triangle, which refers to Delhi-Agra-Jaipur. These cities are equidistant to each other and within driving distance, and they each offer a wealth of incredible monuments, bazaars, and experiences. Jaipur is the capital of Rajasthan, a very popular state that is well worth exploring.
Do not believe the negative media about Delhi and skip spending time in India’s capital. There are so many things to do in Delhi – it is one of the most historic cities on earth and a culinary and cultural capital, too. Agra, on the other hand, is not a great place to spend a lot of time. Stay one night and see the Taj Mahal at sunrise.
Best Destinations in North India
- Golden Triangle (Delhi-Agra-Jaipur)
Mumbai is the gateway to South India for those who want to experience the tropical climate, palm-lined beaches, and unique cultures of states such as Goa and Kerala. South India is the ideal destination in December, January, and February when it is cold in North India.
Best Destinations in South India
- Gokarna, Karnataka
- Kochi, Kerala
- Varkala, Kerala
- Pondicherry, Tamil Nadu

Things to Know When You Travel Solo in India for the First Time
India is a very different experience for many first-time travelers, especially those from Western countries, and the culture shock and sensory overload are real! There is a lot to learn about etiquette, customs, shopping, eating, and much more. These are just a few tips to get you started.
Avoiding Delhi Belly
Many travelers to India are understandably worried about getting sick. While there are no guarantees of avoiding Delhi belly, you can help prevent it by:
- drinking clean water
- avoiding ice and watery sauces
- eating fresh, cooked food
- eating fruit that is peeled
Staying Hydrated Safely
Buy bottled water (check to make sure the seal is unbroken) or carry a reusable bottle and refill it with filtered water. Every hotel, restaurant, and home in India has an RO (reverse osmosis) filter, and the water is absolutely safe to drink. On hot days, make sure you stay hydrated. Fresh lime soda, which is made with soda water, freshly squeezed lemons, and a mix of salt and sugar, is extremely hydrating and delicious.
Navigating Bathrooms
Indians traditionally don’t use toilet paper, though that is changing and you will find it in higher-end hotels, fancy restaurants, and upper-class homes. Nevertheless, you can’t count on it, so carry a small tissue pack and hand sanitizer with you. Most bathrooms have either a water hose (aka “bum gun”) or jug so you can wash with water, and then pat yourself dry with tissue paper. But please don’t put toilet paper in the toilet – use the trashcan (called dust bin in India). The plumbing in India can’t handle toilet paper.
![solo tours of india A luggage sign at a train station in India](https://solotravelerworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Untitled-design-2023-05-31T151230.062.jpg)
Train Travel
Traveling by train is a fun way to get to know India. The trains are often crowded and can be dirty, too, but if you have a sense of adventure, you should be fine. As a solo traveler, I have been all over India by train. You will have to book well in advance as trains often sell out weeks ahead of time. It is getting harder and harder for foreigners to use their credit cards in India – as India has an OTP (one time password) security system – so you may have to get a local or a travel agent to book your tickets.
The train system in India is massive and confusing and will take time to understand. The best trains are:
- Vande Bharat Express
Book 1AC (first class air conditioning) or 2AC (second class air conditioning) or EC (executive chair car) or CC (chair car), depending on the train. If you are on an overnight train, use a cable lock to lock your luggage to the bed frame, and bring a small bag with essentials you will need such as a toothbrush, tissue paper, hand sanitizer, socks, ear plugs, a flashlight, etc. You will be given bedding, but may want to use your own sheet sleeping bag for hygienic reasons. You can read all about train travel in India here for more tips.
Solo Travel in India: Accommodation
These days, you can book most accommodations in India on Agoda or Booking.com or Airbnb. These platforms may not be as reliable as they are in other countries so you do have to be extra diligent. There are a lot of fake reviews, for example, and even fake photos. Among other things you should check is location. Make sure you are in a safe and tourist-friendly area. In Delhi, I highly recommend staying in leafy, prosperous South Delhi . There are upscale hostels, charming guest houses, and small hotels to choose from, as well as some of the big brand hotels such as Marriott and Hyatt.
![solo tours of india brightly coloured items in a market that you will encounter during solo travel in india](https://solotravelerworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Untitled-design-2023-05-31T150155.262.jpg)
India is a shopper’s paradise. There are a lot of beautiful things to buy and you will be tempted. However, my advice is to not make impulsive purchases, especially if this is your first time traveling solo to India. It is almost guaranteed you will see something similar again during your trip. Take the time to learn about the quality of products so you don’t end up buying things that fall apart in a week.
If buying expensive items such as jewellery, rugs, pashmina shawls, and furniture, get them authenticated before purchasing. There are a lot of unscrupulous salespeople who will happily sell fakes to naive and unsuspecting tourists. If you hire a guide or driver cheaply, the chances are very high that he will take you to a commission shop, where you will be fleeced.
You can bargain at outdoor markets and street bazaars, but many stores – especially upscale stores – sell only fixed-price goods. A good rule of thumb is to offer 50% and gradually settle on a price. In India, haggling is a fine art and should be done in a spirit of fun and friendship.

Taj Mahal, one of the amazing places for solo trip in India
![solo tours of india](https://www.girlabouttheglobe.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Screen-Shot-2016-12-23-at-09.29.21-718x32.png)
India is an amazing country with so much to see that you may not even get around half of it. Solo travel India during October to February and you’re likely to meet Westerners travelling the country, but be prepared for a culture shock, and as a woman you might draw some unwanted attention, especially in the beach areas. This country is definitely a life changer. That's why I've given it 3 out of 5 stars as it's a country more for a seasoned solo traveller than if it's your first time alone.
Is travel to India safe?
One big question you may have for a solo trip India is: “Is India safe?” Although there is so much bad publicity about India, solo travel for a woman in India needs precautions depending on where you go. If you are streetwise and remain vigilant, India is a beautiful country to explore as a solo female. Unfortunately, this is a country where sexual attacks can happen and as a single woman tourist you do need to be a bit more careful than in other countries.
Beware of anyone being too friendly and don’t go anywhere with strangers, no matter how persuasive they are. There is extreme poverty here, so be prepared to get hassled from beggars, (which unfortunately many are disabled). Expect unwanted attention from men and avoid being over-friendly, keeping yourself covered up to avoid sexual attention and being groped.
One of the best places to travel alone for a woman in India is Rishikesh, the country's yoga capital. It is easy to meet other solo travelers in India who come to this spiritual city. Goa is also one of the places to visit solo in India. Known for its beaches, this cultural heritage region in the southwest of India is popular for India solo female travel and easy to meet other solo travelers India . In beach destinations you may be the centre of attention if you are just in your bikini, so cover if if you feel comfortable.
When you travel India solo, be wary about going out by yourself at night, depending on where you are. Take a scarf or buy a pashmina when you're there to cover up at religious sites and temples and save your short summer dresses for the beach areas.
Theft can also happen so carrying a padlock and chain to secure your belongings on buses or trains when you travel India solo is a great idea. One of the scams in India is that the taxi driver tells you that your hotel is closed. If this happens and they offer to take you to another one (which they get commission for), just refuse and find another driver to take to your chosen accommodation.
Lastly, don't let me deter you from visiting the country. I have visited India twice and have never had a problem. It's important to know before you go there to ensure that you have the best, safest time.
This article will show you how to travel solo in India but if you are unsure of the places to see in India, where to go in India, or what to do in India by yourself, you may feel more comfortable on a group tour for your solo holidays to India.
* Before your solo trips to India, check what paperwork or visas are required for India
![solo tours of india Solo Travel in India](https://www.girlabouttheglobe.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Varanasi-Cremation-Ghat-India-718x476.jpg)
Varanasi is a fantastic place to visit when you travel solo India
Home to over a billion people, India is a country of contradictions – snake charmers and holy men dressed in loincloths loitering outside internet cafes, and some of the world’s deepest cultural and religious traditions prospering amidst extreme poverty and pollution. Your feelings about India will likely be conflicted as well.
When you solo travel to India, one moment you’ll love it, and the next moment you’ll be cursing your train for being 12 hours late. With patience, time, and an open-minded attitude, India will reveal its secrets to you, and the rough moments of travelling solo in India, will all seem worth it.
If it’s your first time travelling India solo and you are unsure of where to visit in India, consider India’s Golden Triangle. Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. These destinations are the best places in India to visit for the most popular India attractions.
![solo tours of india Solo travel in India](https://www.girlabouttheglobe.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/8-Ganges-718x539.jpg)
Start in Delhi , India’s capital and a good place to slowly familiarize yourself with India’s cultures and rhythms. Things to do alone in Delhi include wandering through the streets of Old Delhi and visiting the famous Red Fort. Old Delhi’s twisting alleys and markets are also wonderful for picking up saris, spices, art pieces, and other crafts.
When you explore New Delhi , if you visit only one museum in India, check out New Delhi’s National Museum, which is packed with historical artefacts from India’s recent and not-so-recent past. Is it safe for women to travel in New Delhi? New Delhi also boasts some of India’s finest restaurants and nightlight but for Delhi solo female travel, venturing out as part of a group will definitely be safer.
Take a solo trip from Delhi, for a couple of days for a side trip. Visit Rajasthan, with its stunning cities set against a dramatic desert landscape. Highlights include Jaipur (the pink city) and Jodhpur (the blue city). Both cities offer excellent shopping and are exceptionally photogenic due to their monochromatic old quarters.
Jaipur is home to one of the top places to visit in India; the stunning Haha Mahal. What makes it one of the unique places to visit in India is its stunning honeycomb shaped facade, built using pink and red sandstone.
Jaipur is about 5-6 hours from Delhi, depending on whether you take the train or the bus, and Jodhpur is about twice as far. Both cities offer a maze of temples, palaces, and bazars to explore.
From Rajasthan, one of the best things to do in India is explore the Thar Desert. It’s in this hot, arid region that you can partake in some of the unique things to do in India such as dune bashing, a camel ride or parasailing for a bird’s eye view of this beautiful desert.
Once you’re back in Delhi, you’ll need to decide if you want to branch out into northern India or southern India. If northern India beckons (the best bet for solo female travelers), your next stop is Agra and the nearby Taj Mahal , one of the popular tourist attractions in India. You can also book Leh Ladakh tour packages from Delhi too. If instead you’re heading south from Delhi, you can still visit the Taj Mahal as a long day trip from Delhi before departing. It’s about 3 ½ hours one way by train.
Not surprisingly, the Taj Mahal is overrun by tourists; Indians and foreigners alike. This is one of the most beautiful places in India and was built by emperor Shah Jahan as a mausoleum for his wife. Your best bet is to visit this spectacular landmark early in the morning to beat the crowds. Agra pales in comparison to other Indian cities, so it’s best to make a quick stop here and continue on to Varanasi via an overnight train.
Hindus consider Varanasi as one of the holiest cities in India, and it is said that if you die here, you will immediately be liberated from the endless cycle of death and rebirth. Millions of Indians make a pilgrimage here either to bathe in the sacred Ganges, upon which the city is perched, or to cremate a family member.
See the chaotic old city along the river banks in Varanasi. Touring the old town and wandering through its ghats (steps leading down to the Ganges either for bathing or ceremonial purposes) is intense, picturesque, and not-to-be-missed. It should go without saying, but don’t photograph funerals or cremations, and keep a respectful distance.
You can organize boat tours onto the Ganges, and Varanasi’s daily evening ceremonies – complete with music, dance, and all manner of holy men – are amazing.
![solo tours of india Travelling solo in India](https://www.girlabouttheglobe.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/5-Varanasi-718x538.jpg)
North India
To reach the true heart of north India, you’ll need to take the overnight train (or fly) back to Delhi. From Delhi, it’s about 7 hours by train or bus to Rishikesh , first made famous by the Beatles. It is without doubt one of the magical places in India, and best places to visit in India for yoga lovers.
Rishikesh also sits on the Ganges, and you’ll find a wide variety of yoga courses, meditation retreats, ashrams, and massage classes available to help you wind down from the chaos you’ve likely experienced thus far whilst travelling India. For more active travelers, Rishikesh is also one of the places to go in India to organize whitewater rafting trips and treks into the nearby Himalayas.
![solo tours of india solo travel in India](https://www.girlabouttheglobe.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/pexels-lisa-and-everlast-jorney-17693658-718x479.jpeg)
Rishikesh is one of the best places for solo trip in India
Another highlight of northern India is Dharamsala and nearby McLeod Ganj , home to the Tibetan government in exile. If you’re lucky, you can catch the Dalai Lama while he’s home, but check ahead, as he travels frequently. These two towns offer a multitude of worthy volunteer opportunities helping the Tibetan refugee community, as well as a glimpse into India’s Buddhist traditions.
If you really want to see the Himalayas in their full glory, head to Ladakh , in the far northwest. Ladakh is accessible by road during the summer months, but you’ll need to fly in the winter as the road closes due to heavy snow. The Buddhist city of Leh is a great base from which to organize further explorations in Ladakh.
The region offers outstanding trekking, cultural tours, homestays, and a peek into centuries-old traditions. In general, Ladakh is also one of the safer areas in India for solo female travellers.
![solo tours of india Solo travel in India](https://www.girlabouttheglobe.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/3-Holy-man-during-Holi-festival-in-Western-India-718x477.jpg)
Best Places To Visit in South India
If southern India’s beaches and spicy dishes are more your style, head south from Delhi to Goa . Flying is the best choice for this journey, unless you want to spend multiple days on the train. Be careful in Goa – although it has something of a reputation as an international party destination, you’re still in India.
Things to do in Goa India, include getting a tan, but carefully observe what others are wearing before breaking out your bikini at the beach. When you tire of sunbathing, nearby Hampi offers a relatively quiet escape. Time seems to have stopped in Hampi, and you’ll love wandering through 15th century ruins and climbing on the wildly shaped rock formations.
Heading further south, visit Kerala , perhaps India’s most progressive state. Cruise the lazy backwaters between Alleppey and Kollam and if you’ve got a group and rupees to spare, renting a houseboat is the way to travel in style.
Visit the ashram of Amma, the famous “Hugging Mother,” and one of India’s few female gurus. Amma’s ashram is in Amritapuri, and as with the Dalai Lama, check her schedule first to make sure that she will be in residence.
If you really want to get away from it all, one of our India trip tips is to fly out to the Andaman Islands , featuring pristine beaches, excellent snorkeling and diving opportunities, and dozens of local tribes and cultures.
![solo tours of india solo travel in India](https://www.girlabouttheglobe.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/pexels-robert-stokoe-2668605-718x479.jpg)
Central India
For the wildlife Girl about the Globe wondering what to see in India in terms of wildlife, India’s national animal is the Bengal Tiger and one of the most popular parks in the country to see them is at Bandhavgarh National Park. Located in the central state of Madhya Pradesh, this state has more than two third’s of the world’s tiger population. Take one of the India sightseeing tours over 2 nights for a game drive in the park and you may also spot deer, cats and monkeys. It is costly but one of the fun things to do in India, especially if you see a leopard too.
Ranthambore National Park is another of the county’s national parks. It is also where you can see tigers within the Tiger Reserve but another of its attractions is the the Ranthambore Fort, a 10th century fort that sits on a hilltop overlooking the park. Whilst you’re here see the Ganesh Mandir temple, the water lilies on Padam Lake, and escape the crowds at Kachida Valley.
![solo tours of india Solo travel in India](https://www.girlabouttheglobe.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/gateway-of-india-609076_1280-718x436.jpg)
The Gateway of India
If you have time when traveling India, venture across to the west coast to visit Mumbai, another of the safe places to visit in India. Although it is the most populated city in India, some parts of the city feel more Western than Indian. Things to do alone in Mumbai India include marvelling at the architecture of Mumbai’s main railway station (especially when it is lit up at night), seeing the Mumbai Taj and its European influence, wandering around the Global Vipassana Pagoda, watching the sun go down at the Gateway of India, and walking along the Arabian Sea at Marine Drive. Take a ferry to Elephanta Island to discover this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
![solo tours of india solo travel in India](https://www.girlabouttheglobe.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/temple-3711082_1280-718x479.jpg)
Kailasa Temple at Ellora Caves
Other Places To Visit in India
All of the destinations listed above are our recommended places for solo travel in India but there are so many more destinations to visit here.
One of the most beautiful and crazy things to do in India is witness millions of glow worms at the Fireflies Festival in Purushwadi, held in May until June. This is definitely an unique thing to see when traveling solo in India.
Other places to visit when you tour India are the Ellora Caves, one of the best places to visit in India for Buddhist caves. Located in Maharashtra’s Aurangabad region, these 24 stunning monastery caves are a UNESCO World Heritage Site and consist of Buddhist, Hindu and Jain caves. The Golden Temple called the Sri Harmandir Sahib is also one of the things to see in India. It is one of the most spiritual sites in the country and a place of pilgrimage for Sikhs. It is called ‘The Golden Temple’ as it is made from gold.
Himachal Pradesh along the border with Tibet in the Himalayas for its Tibetan influence and Buddhist monasteries and temples. And Tamil Nadu a state in Southern India and home to the city of Chennai, known for its colonial fort and beaches. This region is famous for its Dravidian-style Hindu temples.
This is just a sliver of what awaits you when you embark on a self-discovery tour to India. A truly dedicated traveler could spend her whole life exploring the subcontinent and still touch only a fraction of it. Whatever region you decide to travel to India solo, you’ll come away enchanted, changed, and glad you undertook the adventure!
G Adventures India
If you are feeling apprehensive about travelling solo or unsure of India trip planning it yourself, sometimes taking a tour for part or all of your trip can give you the confidence you need before travelling India alone. I have personally used G Adventures a nd recommend them as a solo female friendly company. Most tours have an average of 10 people and there is no upper age limit. Once you book your trip you pay extra for any excursions you want to do when you’re there.
G Adventures India tours range from a 3 day Varanasi Independent Adventure to a 33 day Kolkata to Kochi by Rail tour, seeing the best of India. One of their most popular tours for solos is the 15 day Rajasthan Adventure which includes the Taj Mahal, a visit to the City Palace in Udaipur, and a sunset camel ride in Pushkar. If you have 21 days, they also offer a 3 week tour of India from the north to the south.

Intrepid Travel India
Intrepid Travel is similar to G Adventures with an average of 12 people on each tour. Over 50% of people who book their trips are solo travellers. They tend to use hotels instead of hostels for their tours and have a more comfortable style of accommodation hence the trips can appear a bit more than G Adventures. Their Intrepid India tour packages range from 8 days exploring India’s Golden Triangle to 22 days travelling through the north of the country seeing Delhi, Agra, Varanasi, Jaipur and many others.
What I love about Intrepid is that they now offer solo group travel India on a female-led expedition through Rajasthan, where you can meet women from the villages and learn about their struggles and take part in a women-only celebration called Gangaur Festival. With both tour companies you share a room with someone of the same gender or you can pay extra for your own room. Read our Intrepid Travel Reviews

![solo tours of india Solo travel in India; Accommodation in India](https://www.girlabouttheglobe.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/grass-india-outdoors-577269-2-718x404.jpg)
You’ll find all types of accommodation in India for every kind of solo. Whether you prefer international hotels, lodges, or homestays. If you are on a budget then consider a dharamshala – a hostel which is used by pilgrims and often with a religious connotation.
Be prepared that cheap accommodation India does mean budget. You may get a mattress on the floor with barely a ceiling fan so maybe go for the next level up if you want something cleaner and more comfortable. You could find yourself paying extra for a mosquito net too. The standard of hygiene in India may not be what you’re used to so look at a room before agreeing to take it if you arrive somewhere without planned accommodation.
City accommodation is more expensive than staying in local villages and you may find yourself paying over the odds for a beach resort so look for hostels which are becoming more common for others backpacking India alone. In places such as Kerala or Goa you can stay in heritage-style boutique hotels, homestays or even on a converted rice barge.
It’s also not uncommon to see former palaces or forts opening their doors to guests. For a more sustainable stay choose from an ecolodge or farm stay for part or all of your trip. There are also options for camping but you may feel more comfortable in other accommodation. Another type of accommodation is overnight trains where you can reach long distances as you sleep.

Getting around in India on Indian transportation is an experience in itself. India is vast, and travelling around India can eat up huge portions of your time. Internal flights are the best way to travel in India for longer legs. Be sure to travel by train at least once during your trip – doing so is a rite of a passage for travelers in India and a tourist attraction in itself. It is one of the best transportation in India for a true cultural experience. Don’t miss it!
For longer journeys, book at least a sleeper car (and a better berth if you can afford it). You can find air-conditioned first class on the long distance trains which are either a 2 or 4 berth carriage, or opt for air conditioned second class (called AC2) which is cheaper and often used by local families.
Bring a padlock and chain to secure your bags overnight, and keep valuables on your person. Tickets can go quickly during holiday seasons so plan accordingly. Train stations in most major cities will have a dedicated tourist desk.
If you are taking the train in India you may find that the Indian railways station has a private room that you can rent overnight which includes a bed and bathroom. If you feel comfortable staying here before catching a train early in the morning then it’s a cheap way of resting for the night. Seat61 is a good resource for how to get around in India by train.
Bus travel in India is another form of transport in India. When you're solo traveling in India book a tourist bus, especially for longer journeys, for both safety and for comfort. If you are on a budget, sleeper buses can be the best way to travel in India to save on overnight accommodation.
Tuk-tuks and auto rickshaws are a fun way to travel within cities. Set a price with your driver beforehand, or get ready to barter until you’re hoarse once you arrive at your destination.
If you’re exploring a lot of destinations in the country, the best way to get around India is by flying internally. Air India is the country’s national carrier.
The best transport in India for women – For the solo traveler in India who might feel wary of taking the train or bus, India has a few taxi services operated exclusively by women for women. Womencabs and Go Pink Cabs appear to be the biggest companies and are ideal for India solo travel. You can also use “OLA” cabs to get around and “Jugnoo” autos for select cities. They have apps and are easy to use.
(For more information on why so many women-only cab services have been popping up as India transportation, and who the women entrepreneurs behind this phenomenon are refer to this article .)
As India is so vast, you may prefer taking flights when travelling alone in India, especially if you are apprehensive about taking a train. There are too many airports in India to cover in this article but this to and from the airport guide gives details of transport from each one.
You may feel more comfortable as a solo traveller India with transport waiting for you at the airport. Hoppa operates a cheap airport shuttle that will take you from various city airports to your hotel.
How long do you need when travelling India solo? Three weeks is the minimum you’ll need to see India – and you won’t see very much in this amount of time. Everything in India tends to takes longer than expected, so don’t rush yourself. Two months will give you enough time to explore either the north or the south. If you want to see the whole country, give yourself at least six months.
Travelling Onwards (check visas before you travel)
When you're travelling to India, you may want to extend your trip and include one or more of the neighbouring countries on your solo holiday to India. If you're considering Nepal, Bhutan or Bangladesh, below are ways to cross into the countries overland.
To Nepal – Travel by train to Gorakhpur then take a local bus or travel to Sunauli from Varanasi on a daily bus. Daily buses run from Patna and Kolkata from Raxaul or take the Mithila express train from Kolkata. Another popular crossing is at Jumunaha in Uttar Pradesh.
To Bhutan – A direct bus runs on some evenings from Kolkata to Phuentsholing. You can also take the train from Siliguri via Alipurduar to the border.
To Bangladesh – There are daily buses from Kolkata to Dhaka, then cross the border at Benapol. From Agartala cross to Arkhuara. Trains then take you to Dhaka. From Siliguri in West Bengal take a private bus 2 hours to Jalpaiguri then change at Chengrabandha for the border.
To Pakistan – Crossing into Pakistan is not recommended.
Where can I fly from here?
- Nepal – 2 hours
- Sri Lanka – 2.5 hours
- Thailand – 7 hours
* Flying from Delhi & Mumbai

Vulnerable Girls in India
- Human trafficking in India is an issue affecting mainly women and girls. It is deeply rooted in Indian culture and, for centuries, it has been one of the major problems the country has been facing. Read more here…
- Early marriage or sex work are two of the many reasons why nearly two thirds of adolescent girls in India drop out of school. With little formal education at their hands it is difficult to get out of these undesirable situations. Read more here…
- Periods are considered shameful in many countries, especially in India. Having limited or no access to period products can result into girls needing to skip school days. Watch here…

Can I drink the water? No, buy bottled with sealed tops instead.
Should you get tips in India? Leave a small tip after eating in a restaurant. If you have hired a guide or a driver for multiple days, tip accordingly. Some hotels have “tip boxes” at their front desks, and leaving a tip in such a box is much appreciated but not required.
When traveling by tuk-tuk or taxi, if you have agreed on a price with the driver in advance, no tip is necessary. Don’t feel guilty shooing away anyone pestering you for an unearned or undeserved tip – you will probably find yourself doing so frequently!
Fixed price or barter? Bartering is appropriate and expected at markets and less-expensive hostels and hotels. Expect fixed prices at restaurants and upscale hotels. Often, fixed-price shops will have a sign informing you of the fact that bartering is off-limits.
Any ATMs? ATMs exist in tourist areas. However, be sure to arrive with at least a little bit of cash, as most transactions require it, and you cannot count on your border-crossing point to have an ATM (even if it is an airport).
Which side of the road do they drive? On the left-hand side.
Good for vegetarians? India is a vegetarian’s idea of paradise. Many of the country’s religions mandate vegetarianism, and you will find an abundance of delicious vegetarian dishes everywhere you travel.
Any seven wonders of the world? Taj Mahal in Agra.

First off I love your blog, absolutely fab! I am planning on travelling around India for a month or two next year and just wondered, you said the north is better for solo female travellers does this mean the south is more dangerous or is just some areas? what areas in the south would you recommend for me, thanks 🙂

Hi, I live in southern part of India and I find this safer compared to the north(Considering that there are lower crime rates here comparitively). However, it is better one dresses conservatively and carry a pepper spray. Barring few hooligans, as a whole the country is hospitable and welcoming. Have a great trip:)
Thanks Rashmini 🙂

- your own double room
We offer dedicated solo traveller tours to some of our most popular destinations, including India, enabling you to explore spectacular parts of the world in style, with complete peace of mind and in the company of like-minded people.
There are no single supplements and accommodation is based on the single occupancy of twin or double rooms in luxury, characterful hotels that offer sensible prices for solo travellers. Group sizes vary with an average of 12 people and a maximum of 18 – whilst there is no age grouping, most of our single clients tend to be over 50. As on all our group tours, we include Cox & Kings signature experiences to make each trip even more memorable.
Exotic India , for solo travellers only, is a popular 12-night tour of the Golden Triangle and beyond to explore some of the country’s most iconic sights. Beginning in the capital of Delhi, the tour includes sunrise at the Taj Mahal, visits to majestic forts and palaces in the princely state of Rajasthan and a chance to search for tigers in Ranthambore National Park. Signature experiences include a ride on Deogarh’s metre-gauge train and a stay in a traditional haveli in Jaipur.
Our other small-group tours in India attract solo travellers as well as couples; there is a moderate single supplement.
A walk through a Rajasthani village and ride on the ‘toy train’ to the hill station of Shimla are some of the highlights on our Golden Triangle & Shimla tour.
The Grand Tour of India is exactly that – a magnificent journey which will take you from the Taj Mahal to Jodhpur, the lakes and palaces of Udaipur to the backwaters of Kerala, Amritsar’s Golden Temple, Varanasi and Ranthambore National Park.
If your bucket list includes the foothills of the Himalayas , we’ll take you to Amritsar and McLeod Ganj, home to the Tibetan government-in-exile, onwards to Shimla, Dharamsala and Chandigarh. There’s no single supplement on some departures.
Our Passage through Kerala takes you under the skin of this beautiful southern state, with time in Karnataka too. Highlights include the Maharajah’s Palace in Mysore illuminated by 100,000 lightbulbs, a safari in Nagarhole National Park, a cruise along Cochin’s backwaters, a ride on the Blue Mountain Railway, tea at a planter’s house and a culinary tour of Mysore.
Every tour includes a welcome dinner to allow the group to get to know each other, and a farewell dinner. Breakfast daily and some other meals are included but there’s also the chance to discover local restaurants. Experienced tour managers accompany each trip throughout, supported by knowledgeable local guides and drivers.

I’ve been exactly where you are, hence I put together these India solo travel tips to help and guide you. It may seem overwhelming to start with but, after 3 successful trips, I’m proof you can have a rewarding and trouble-free trip to India with a little planning.

My experiences travelling solo in India
I first visited India in 2015 with a friend, and plucked up the courage to return for 2 months solo in 2019. I was nervous about what it would be like alone but I managed to overcome any challenges and have a fantastic time! Then, I returned again in 2023 to host my first group tour with readers of this blog.

Is it safe to travel in India alone?
Telling people you’re taking a solo trip to India usually results in negativity. But, as I share whenever anyone asks for solo travel tips , you need to be selective when taking advice. Has the person been? Are their sources up to date? Well, if not, smile and move on. I’m here to share a little reality and try to hopefully strike the right balance between encouraging and preparing you . Is India the easiest destination to travel solo as a woman ? Well no . Will you get looks and stares and sometimes feel uncomfortable and overwhelmed? Well, most likely yes . Is that a reason not to go? Well, if you are confident and prepared, no . Can you have a fantastic trip alone in India that’ll provide some of the most wonderful, precious memories of your life? YES!!
![solo tours of india Jodhpur palace travellign to india alone](https://www.wheregoesrose.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Rajasthan-fort-767x1024.jpeg)
All in all, India is not for everywhere and it’s not the best first-time solo travel destination. It may be best to build your confidence up in other places first. If you hate crowds and getting stared at, it may never be your place! But I love it. We all know the best things in life don’t come from taking the easy route. If India appeals, you owe it to yourself to experience this culturally-rich, contradictory wonderland that’s like nowhere else on earth! Overall, it is safe to travel alone in India provided you stay cautious and follow the right advice. I’ve broken down my tips in the order you’ll need them…

Planning tips for solo travel in India
Prior to your trip, spend some time focussing on the following…
Choose carefully where to go
![solo tours of india Rishikesh](https://www.wheregoesrose.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Rishikesh-india-1.jpg)
Unlike travelling solo in Thailand , Vietnam , Malaysia or Bali (click for solo travel guides to those places), you can’t travel everywhere alone in India. I would recommend choosing easy places to start, for example:
- Rishikesh – this hippie town in the mountains is known for its yoga culture and all things related like meditation and sound healing. Put on the map by The Beatles (whose old casa complex can still be visited as a tourist attraction), it’s become a popular tourist destination with gorgeous river beaches and mountain scenery to boot.
- Goa – this is an obvious first destination for solo India travel. My personal favourite place was Palolem (and nearby Patnem) with beautiful beaches and amazing food (local and healthy/vegan). Other popular tourist towns in Goa include the capital, Panjim, and beach towns Agonda, Aramobol and Anjuna.
- Rajasthan – although it’s busy and hectic, this is a well-trodden part of India where tourism is concerned and every city has fantastic hostels and guided activities where you can ease yourself in. Read about the best places to go in my Rajasthan itinerary .

Stay on grid
![solo tours of india Delhi solo trip india](https://www.wheregoesrose.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/delhi-rajasthan-itinerary.jpg)
Travelling solo in India is very different from travelling Southeast Asia alone . When I offer advice for backpacking Europe alone , I’ll tell you to get off-grid and escape the tourist trail as it’s safe and easy. However, I wouldn’t recommend this for India because attitudes to women vary considerably when you get out of more progressive cities where they’re used to seeing tourists. Small, non-touristic towns in India are where you don’t want to be. Stick to places with solid tourist infrastructure, recommended by reputable publications or other foreign travellers with first-hand experience.
Plan, plan, plan
This is my number one solo travel tip for India, and in fact any country. Life’s surprises can be great but you don’t want any nasty ones when travelling alone in India. Research how you’ll get from the train station to your accommodation and be aware of common scams for each destination. Pushkar has a few , as does Delhi airport .
Don’t pack too much into your itinerary
Since life in India can be hot and hectic, you run the risk of getting exhausted and emotionally overwhelmed if you’re constantly on the go with no downtime. The other thing you need to prepare for: getting sick and having to spend a couple of days recovering! For this reason, I’d suggest not booking too much non-refundable accommodation just in case. Booking.com usually have a generous refund policy, and Hostelworld lets you pay a very small deposit to ensure you can cancel close to the time!

Safety tips for India solo travel
There’s no point sugarcoating it: personal safety is most people’s biggest concern when travelling to India. These are my tried and tested travel tips to stay safe while travelling solo as a woman .
Arrive by day
This is an obvious but important safety tip. As a general rule, I’d recommend arriving in places during daylight hours. If you DO have to arrive at night due to public transport schedules, there are workarounds. If you have a local SIM, you can call an Uber in most larger towns and cities. In smaller places, ask your accommodation to send someone to meet you or pre-book a taxi.
Charge your phone and power bank
These days, it’s hard to imagine what it would be like to travel without technology. For all its pros and cons, tech makes it so much easier and safer to travel solo in India. I ensure my phone doesn’t die on me when I need it by travelling with a power bank . I usually charge it overnight and boost my camera and phone off it during the day.
![solo tours of india Pushkar fireworks travelling to india alone](https://www.wheregoesrose.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Views-from-buntys.jpeg)
Get a SIM card
On the note of staying connected, I would highly recommend getting a local SIM when travelling alone in India. Jio, Airtel and Vodafone are a few of the main providers. They don’t make it THAT easy because you’re required to show your passport, visa and proof of home address to get signed up… But once you have, it’s worth it!
Update – Airalo are a game-changer in the e-SIM industry, allowing you to download an e-SIM in advance so you can connect as soon as you land. Browse their India packages from $4 or get their Asialink card that covers 18 countries including India.
It goes without saying you shouldn’t be travelling anywhere without insurance especially India where health and safety isn’t always the greatest, plus it’s common to experience gastro problems. Personally, I use True Traveller (for European residents including the UK) since it’s affordable but covers everything you need including valuables and pre-existing health conditions. The last time I claimed, they paid out within 2 days which I’ve never experienced with any other company! Get a quote now . For travel insurance for other nationalities, I recommend Hey Mundo and for long-term digital nomad travellers, I suggest Safety Wing .
Internet security
This isn’t your typical solo India tip but it’s very important… When my card was copied and I had to deal with hackers stealing hundreds of pounds from my account, let’s just say I wasn’t a happy bunny! This could happen anywhere, not just India, so I would always recommend using a VPN when travelling, especially when it comes to paying for things online or typing in passwords and usernames. Nord VPN is my provider of choice; their plans start from $3 a month.
Clothing and packing for India
![solo tours of india Blue city india](https://www.wheregoesrose.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/street-art-jodhpur-itinerary-rajasthan-768x1024.jpeg)
I know lots of foreign travellers to India will have questions surrounding what to wear in India and how to dress. A good place to start is by looking at the locals and emulating them… Not in a cultural appropriation way, but simply by observing what body parts they cover and doing the same. India is a place where foreign travellers get a lot of attention whatever they’re wearing. So to minimise it as much as possible, I’d recommend covering your legs and shoulders especially in holy places such as temples. Because it gets very hot, you should opt for light, loose clothing where possible, preferably in pale colours to stay as cool as you can. Sunglasses, suncream, a sun hat and comfy shoes are also essentials.

Advice for getting around India alone
Travelling around safely is another point of concern for many travellers preparing for their first solo trip to India. If you’re unsure whether to travel by bus or train , I would suggest the train where possible. It feels like a more authentic Indian travel experience compared to buses which you can take in any country, plus it’s more spacious and you can get up and walk around. However, there are some places – like the mountainous region of Himachal Pradesh (including destinations like Dharamshala ) – where there are no trains, only buses.
![solo tours of india Train travel india](https://www.wheregoesrose.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Indian-railways.jpg)
How to book tickets
Thankfully, the complicated old system of booking train tickets (the official IRCTC ticket website which required receiving a text to an Indian SIM, or emailing your passport scan) is no longer necessary because you can now book tickets on the 12go website. Booking bus tickets is also easy with 12go .
Tips for riding the train
Riding the train is a fun, India essential!
- Understand the classes – AC First Class Sleeper has lockable doors, while AC2 has just curtains, then there’s also AC3 and Sleeper Class. I wouldn’t recommend the latter as it’s hot and crowded.
- Know you’ll be sharing – on Indian trains, you’ll be assigned a bunk (upper or lower) across from another bunk in a carriage off the train corridor. So, if you’re solo, you’ll be sharing with three others.
- You can eat and drink – chai sellers come around selling chia tea and coffee. Snacks and water are also sold.
Ride Uber or Ola
Within big cities, it’s easy to call Uber or Ola to get around. It’s very affordable: I paid 400 rupees ($5) to travel for an hour halfway across Delhi! It feels like a safe way to travel because there’s a panic/emergency service option on the Uber app.
Prepare your airport transport in advance
Annoyingly, Indian airports usually only let you use the Wi-Fi if you have an Indian phone number. You can get a SIM card in Delhi airport but it can take hours to activate. This means you won’t be able to use the internet between landing and getting to your accommodation, so you need to plan the journey in advance. 2024 UPDATE – now you can get an Airalo e-SIM so you can connect right away. Game changer! I would suggest getting your hotel or hostel to pre-book a taxi to meet you at arrivals. Make sure the driver knows your name and hotel as there are common scams where guys will pretend to be your driver (sometimes involving third parties to confuse you) then try and take you to a different hotel. If you haven’t booked already, head to the official taxi stand walking past any touts who try to get your attention. You pre-pay (card accepted) before getting in.

Tips for health and wellness
There’s nowhere I’ve been quite as sick as India! While it shouldn’t stop you from going, I would recommend that you prepare well. Of the various pros and cons of travelling solo , the numero uno con is getting sick without anyone to help. So do your best to prep in advance!
![solo tours of india Indian food](https://www.wheregoesrose.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Indian-street-food.jpeg)
Take probiotics
I highly recommend preparing your stomach for your India trip. Probiotic tablets are your best bet because you can take them to India with you. Eating other gut-healthy foods like kimchi and kombucha in the weeks before your trip is also a good idea.
Water & sanitation
You probably already know not to drink the tap water in India. Most backpacker hostels offer free fill-ups so you simply need a reusable water bottle . However, on my most recent (more flashpacky) trip, I realised that unfortunately, hotels make you buy plastic bottles which is a real shame. For better sustainability, bring a filtering water bottle that makes any water safe to drink.
Have rehydration sachets ready
Being sick while travelling by yourself in India does suck, I can’t lie. Find something good to binge on Netflix and wait for it to pass while dosing up on electrolytes to restore your body’s natural balance. These can be bought cheaply from any pharmacy.

Money tips for a solo India trip
India is the most affordable travel destination of the 64 countries I’ve visited so far, but there are still some money and finance tips you need to know…
Read next: how much does a trip to India cost?
Fee-free bank accounts
Although ATMs in India usually charge a fee you can’t avoid, you can dodge further charges by travelling with a card that doesn’t charge fees of its own. My favourites for UK travellers are Starling and Monzo, but other nationalities can apply for Revolut and Wise cards ( Wise is also a great platform for transferring money between currencies with minimal fees).
Split up & have spare bank cards
This is a great tip for any destination! Losing your bank card abroad can be a nightmare. I travel with all the bank cards listed above partly because they’re great generally, but also because I have backups if one gets lost. Also, don’t carry all your cards at once. Just take out one and leave the others at your accommodation. When travelling between destinations on a train or bus, keep them all close to your person in your most secure bag.
ATMs in India charge between 150 and 300 rupees as a fee. For this reason, I take out the max amount each time of 10,000 rupees ($120). One thing to note is that ATMs are often out of cash so don’t wait until you’re totally out otherwise you may end up walking around all the ATMs in town hungry and thirsty!
Tips for making friends during solo travel in India
![solo tours of india making friends during india solo travel](https://www.wheregoesrose.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Holi-festival-india.jpg)
Just because you’re travelling solo in India (or anywhere) that doesn’t mean you have to spend every moment alone! There are lots of ways to meet people when travelling alone including…
Stay in hostels
This is the numero uno way to meet people backpacking in India! There are lots of great hostels including the Moustache , Madpackers and Hosteller chains. You can meet people in the dorms, in the social area, or during social events held at the hostel such as food tours and shared dinner nights.
Do tours & activities
Meet like-minded people during activities you both enjoy. I recommend both GetYourGuide and Viator who offer sightseeing tours as well as fun activities like street food tours.
Overwhelm & emotional wellness
The internet is full of tips for physical wellness alongside safety tips, but not everyone mentions emotional wellness. Travel is a privilege and India is a dream destination for many, however it can be emotionally taxing to be always ‘on’ in terms of assessing your surroundings and safety. So make sure to take care of yourself during your solo India trip! Book a nice hotel to relax and recover every now and then, or a private driver and airconditioned car for the day.
![solo tours of india Jaisalmer desert](https://www.wheregoesrose.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/jaisalmer-desert.jpg)
Stares and selfies
One thing to prepare yourself for is lots of stares from locals and copious selfie requests. The first thing to note is that 99% of the stares are purely curiosity, coming from not just from men but also women and children. Of course, there’s the odd occasion when men are being creepy. In this case, all I can recommend is ignoring them and getting on with your day. Of course, if you are feeling unsafe, stay in busy, public places and call a taxi to get away safely. In terms of photo requests, it may seem novel to start but will probably become an annoyance after the 100th one! Just know it is ok to say no if you’re not feeling it.
Ease yourself in
It may be worth booking a nice hotel for the first night and an aircon car tour for your first day. This is an especially good tip for solo travel in India if your first stop is Delhi which is notoriously hectic and overwhelming. Nice hotels in South Delhi (the most pleasant part of the capital) include Bloomrooms , Prakash Kutir Bungalow 157 , B Nineteen , Avatar Living and The Stay Inn . Check Booking.com for more. For your first train ride, you may want to treat yourself to AC Tier 1. Once you’re feeling comfortable and confident, get a bit more adventurous with 2 or 3!

What people love about Northern India Solo Tours
An incredible tour in an incredible country. India is diverse and complex, offering so much for travellers to see and explore. The pacing of the trip was intense, but appropriate would strongly recommend the tour for the intended age group 18-35.
Although I LOVED everything about this trip, I have to say that the experience was 10 times enhanced by our amazing CEO, Manvendra. He went above and beyond and truly made this the trip of a lifetime
Very informative,a bit of a challenge ,had a great time.

They say the best things in life are meant to be shared...
With all the tantalising tastes and splendid sites of India , it would be a shame to travel to this incredible country and not have anyone to share it with. That’s why you should join us on a small group tour. Not only will you have a legendary local leader to show you around and handle all the logistics, but you’ll also have ready-made friends to share all the curries with, snap a candid of you at the Taj Mahal and make long sleeper train journeys feel not so, well, long. You might be travelling solo, but you’ll never feel alone.

The perks of solo travel in India with Intrepid
![Delhi, India An Intrepid leader and a group of travellers drinking chai in a street](https://www.intrepidtravel.com/sites/intrepid/files/styles/low-quality/public/Intrepid%20Travel-Intrepid%20Travel-India_Delhi_Vegan%20%2840%29%20copy.jpg)
A local leader
As a solo traveller, it’s easy to stick to the tourist trail. You take a selfie with the Taj Mahal, stroll around Red Fort or kick back in Goa. As great as these places are, you may miss out on those unexpected experiences that happen off the well-trodden path. A group tour isn’t like that. OK, you'll tick off big-ticket sites, but you'll also have an expert leader to introduce you to famous chai wallahs, take you to the best street food vendors and give you recommendations for your free time.
![Varanasi, India The busy ghats in Varanasi, India](https://www.intrepidtravel.com/sites/intrepid/files/styles/low-quality/public/Intrepid%20Travel-india_varanasi_ganges-ghat.jpg)
India can be overwhelming sometimes, but it's generally a safe country for travellers and you should be able to enjoy your trip without any problems. That being said, scams, petty theft and pickpocketing (especially in crowded places) can happen. Our leaders know the areas to avoid after dark, can haggle at markets and will help you avoid pickpockets. It’s all the flexibility and freedom of independent travel, but with fewer risks.
![solo tours of india A group of travellers eating a meal in a temple in India](https://www.intrepidtravel.com/sites/intrepid/files/styles/low-quality/public/Intrepid%20Travel-India-Vegan-temple-food-pax-group.jpg)
Ready-made friends
Go solo, but not alone. That’s our motto. The average Intrepid trip has about ten people on it – people of all ages, backgrounds and places from all over the world. You're welcome to have as much downtime as you want to relax or explore your way, but it's nice to have travel pals to whizz around in a rickshaw with, share a biryani or have a chat over the breakfast table. Joy's doubled when it's shared.
![Cycling in India Cyclists riding past a local woman and cows in India](https://www.intrepidtravel.com/sites/intrepid/files/styles/low-quality/public/Intrepid%20Travel-india_cycling-07.jpg)
Logistics and convenience
We get it – the thought of navigating busy bus stations and embarking on your first overnight sleeper train can be a little daunting. Travelling alone in India can be confusing and complicated, but not when you're with us. We'll organise your accommodation, public transport and all other logistics of travel so you don’t have to worry. Sit back and enjoy the ride, we've got your back.
Do I need a COVID-19 vaccine to join a solo tour in India?
From 1 January 2023, Intrepid will no longer require travellers to provide proof of vaccination against COVID-19 (excluding all Polar trips and select adventure cruises). However, we continue to strongly recommend that all Intrepid travellers and leaders get vaccinated to protect themselves and others.
Specific proof of testing or vaccination may still be required by your destination or airline. Please ensure you check travel and entry requirements carefully.
Learn more about Intrepid's COVID-19 policy
Will I have my own room?
It's your call. Rooming on our trips is organised on a twin-share basis, but most of our trips also have the option to pay an extra fee for your own room. Just let us know at the time of booking and we'll arrange it for you.
For twin-share rooms, we pair up solo travellers with another traveller of the same gender as per the gender marker on each of their passports. As a responsible tour operator, we strive to create a safe and inclusive environment for everyone. In the case that your gender identity differs from what's indicated on your passport, please contact us so that we can discuss rooming options with you.
On a small selection of itineraries some accommodations are booked on an open-gender, multi-share basis. In those instances it will clearly be stated in your Essential Trip Information.
How does group time work?
Whether you’re travelling alone or with a partner, our trips have a set itinerary. But within that there’s time set aside for your own exploration (if you want to – no pressure). Depending on how you're feeling, you may want to have some downtime, ask your guide for a few tips then head out alone, or hang out with the group and see where the day takes you.
Do I need to purchase travel insurance before travelling to India?
You sure do. All passengers travelling with Intrepid are required to purchase travel insurance before the start of their tour. Your travel insurance details will be recorded by your leader on the first day of the trip. Due to the varying nature, availability and cost of health care around the world, travel insurance is very much an essential and necessary part of every journey.
Learn more about travel Insurance
Are credit cards widely accepted in India?
Credit cards are being accepted in an increasing number of cafes, shops, restaurants and hotels/hostels in India, with Mastercard and Visa being the most common. That said, cash is still king, especially outside of cities like Kolkata, Delhi and Mumbai.
Are Intrepid's India tours accessible for travellers with disabilities?
Intrepid is committed to making travel widely accessible, regardless of ability or disability. That’s why we do our best to help as many people see the world as possible, regardless of any physical or mental limitations they might have. However, we’re always happy to talk to travellers with disabilities and see if we can help guide them towards the most suitable itinerary for their needs and where possible, make reasonable adjustments to our itineraries.

Our solo travel safety guide
Share your itinerary.
Good advice for us all, but particularly for people travelling solo. Make copies of your itinerary, contact details, passport and travel insurance, then email them to yourself and to one or two friends/family at home. Check-in on social media when you can so people can keep track of where you are.
Remember the little things
If you’re arriving late in a city by yourself, book a hotel with a front desk or concierge service (many hotels also offer private transfers that don’t cost the earth from the airport or train station). If you're travelling with us, we can help you organise an arrival transfer. Read your maps before you head out for a walk (you can use a map app on your smartphone – or take screenshots of where you’re going if you don’t want to use up your precious data). If you need to check your map when you’re out and about, duck into a shop or café to do it. Leave the blingy jewellery, wedding rings and designer clothes at home, and aim to dress like the locals do – hit up the local markets if you haven’t packed the right outfits. Aim to keep track of travel times, so you’re not caught out after dark.
Roam if you want to
Most mobile/cell providers now offer travel passes to help manage your international roaming costs (which, let’s face it, are expensive!). For a few dollars a day, you’ll have access to data, which means you can log into your apps (like Skype, email and WhatsApp) when you’re out of WiFi zones and quickly get in touch with someone – a friend at home, someone in your group, or the police – if you need to. It might also be worth checking out the local cell/mobile providers as these can be quite cost effective.
Fare's fair
Solo travellers are way more likely to be ‘taken for a ride’ at the airport by unscrupulous taxi drivers, so do your research before you arrive. Make sure you get a cab from the airport/station taxi rank – if you’re not sure where to go, just head to the information desk for help. Touts tend to hang out in the arrivals area and promise cheaper rates, but can often be dodgy. When you get to the cab rank, ask the driver to use the meter or request a cost estimate before you hop in the car – if it’s way higher than it should be, pick another vehicle. A lot of airports have train stations attached as well, so consider public transport if you want to save a dollar or two.
Stick together
It’s one of the advantages of travelling solo on a group tour: safety in numbers. The big, 50-person bus groups stand out on the road, but a small Intrepid group of eight or nine people, with a local leader showing the way – including areas to avoid and getting around safely – won’t draw much attention. Plus, it’s a great way to see parts of the world you may feel uncomfortable exploring on your own. If you want to do things on your own, consider a day tour to familiarise yourself with a city and get to know the local way of life.
Trust your instincts
Solo travel is all about confidence. If you’re relaxed and self-assured on the street, you’re more likely to blend in. When you meet new people, don’t assume they’re all out to get you, but be sensible too and trust your gut. If it feels wrong, it probably is. Remember: the popular tourist areas are often the most well-lit and secure, but they’re often a juicier target for pickpockets and scammers. Just use your common sense; half of travel safety is simply being aware of your surroundings.
