Kya? Tum akele ghoomne jaogi? Family ke saath jao! And there comes a flurry of unsolicited advice from all the aunties and uncles you know in your family, pados, and acquaintances. The concept of women travelling alone is new in India and that sets us on a backfoot. And perhaps not all countries are safe for women solo travellers.
So, if you dream about travelling all by yourself, know more about these 5 countries that are considered to be safe for solo female travellers.
1. Canada
Niagara Falls awaits to throw you off-guard with its breathtaking view. The Banff National Park and the Rocky Mountains set right amidst the picturesque Canadian Rocky Mountains is also a sight to behold. Also, don’t miss out on taking a leisurely walk down Old Quebec, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
