This is a question that I get asked a lot when I tell people that I love solo travelling and that I’ve been doing it for more than a decade now.
Not that I don’t enjoy travelling with others, but there came a point in life when I realised that I enjoyed travelling more often than others did, and waiting for company to travel meant that the plans would never materialise. So, I decided to take the plunge and travel solo, and that decision changed me forever. It has been one of the most liberating experiences of my life and still is.

Remembering my trip to Uttrakhand
Don’t make plans, just live in the moment, that’s one of the lessons that the pandemic has taught us in big bold letters. But the heart still longs, you can’t stop it from longing. Longing for beauty and experiences that have touched its heart while travelling.

It was my first solo trip to Kashmir. Seeing a solo woman traveller in Kashmir intrigued the locals, especially the curious womenfolk. Why are you travelling alone? Do you feel safe here? How does it feel to be a solo woman traveller? These were some of the questions that I had to constantly give an answer to. And most of them had not travelled beyond the safe boundaries of their village or city. But traveling alone outside their comfort zone was something they all dreamed of.
