The past decade has seen a significant rise in the solo woman traveller brigade comprising of strong, confident women from all age groups who refuse to buckle down to the societal norms of travelling in the company of a male counterpart. It is a welcome change and the tourism industry is embracing it as well. In fact, solo travel can be a meditative experience. Despite the speculations and apprehensions many people associate with solo woman travel in our country, there are many places which are very safe for solo women travellers in India. Here are the top five ones:

Gangtok

For solo women travellers in India, the best place is the North-East, which is known for its matriarchal society and broad minded people. A mountain lover’s paradise, the breath-taking beauty of the Kanchenjonga range which towers above the clouds never fails to mesmerise. The cosmopolitan town effuses a modern outlook and warm hospitality, which make it the topmost in the list. Renowned and reputed resorts like Delisso Abode offer a comfortable and safe stay.
