The Basics Of Solo Travelling



There is no experience which equals the thrill of travelling. It means going to a new place, meeting new people and experiencing a whole different world that you were previously not aware off. When you travel you break out of the monotony of everyday and take a jump into the vast abyss of fun and adventure. It is a soul nourishing experience to go far off and lose yourself in deep valleys, majestic mountains and seldom ventured high terrains.

Everyone chooses to travel for their own reasons; some want a break from the daily rut, others who wish to tick off a place from their bucket list and some who just wish to experience a different view. Then there are those who like to travel alone, in other word the solo traveler. There are those who really enjoy the thrill of taking a journey only if they have no companion with them. It might sound odd or risqué to some but there is nothing more adventurous than exploring new places all on your own. There is something intensely personal about being a solo traveler, you can choose to go wherever you want, make and alter your itinerary at will and it is up to you to decide how long you wish to stay at a particular place. You can travel at your own pace and can connect to new people or just stay to yourself if you wish to alone. Though of course one can't just pack their bags and head off to any location that they choose to, solo travelling has some perquisites that every traveler must keep in mind.

Decide Upon Your Destination: It is extremely important to have detailed knowledge of the place that you choose to solo travel through. Safety is a primary concern specially if you are a woman and then you must know about the basic culture and traditions of that place. Rubbing locals the wrong way can be bad as you would rely on their hospitality a lot if you are travelling alone. Another plus would be learning basic phrases that are used in that place as that can be useful to communicate. All in all choose a place which is safe, comfortable and has amiable locals.



Budget: Money is an important requirement of every journey. You would not want to take a trip that exceeds your budget and has you in a fix later on. It is important to save money and prepare a budget and choose a place that fits your requirement. Keep in mind other expenses such as accommodation and food too.

Keep Family In The Loop: You might choose to not bring your friends and family along but it is essential that you inform them of your travel plans in detail and always keep them in a loop. This could be beneficial to you in times of any problem or crisis and will also put their worries at ease.

Delhi, Agra & Jaipur - India's Golden Triangle
