India welcomes thousands of solo female travelers every year, and with the right preparation, it can be one of the most rewarding travel experiences of your life. Here's our practical guide based on years of helping women explore India safely.
Before You Go
Research your destinations. Stick to well-traveled tourist areas, especially for your first visit. The Golden Triangle (Delhi, Agra, Jaipur) and Rajasthan are excellent choices with well-established tourism infrastructure.
Book reputable accommodation. Choose hotels with good reviews from female travelers. Many heritage hotels have excellent security.
Share your itinerary with someone back home and check in regularly.
What to Wear
India is culturally conservative in many areas. Dressing modestly — covering shoulders and knees — will help you blend in and feel more comfortable. Carry a scarf that can serve as a shoulder cover at temples and a sun shield.
Getting Around Safely
Use pre-booked transport. Our tours include private drivers who are vetted and trained. Avoid hailing random vehicles, especially at night.
Keep your phone charged and have your accommodation's address saved offline.
