Here’s your guide to some of the top women-friendly places to visit in June in India during this vibrant month -
· Konkan trip (Mumbai-Goa-Mangalore) - Explore the scenic beauty of India's western coast with a road trip along the Konkan Coast. Drive through the coastal villages, relax on the amazing beaches, visit the best tourist places, and savour delicious seafood. The route from Mumbai to Goa offers stunning sea vistas, historic forts, and opportunities for adventure sports like scuba diving. Continue south to Mangalore, discovering sleepy fishing hamlets, lush green hills, and serene beaches.
· Northeast India (Meghalaya, Assam, Sikkim) - The lush greenery and natural beauty of India's Northeast remain largely unexplored. Travel to places like Meghalaya, named the ‘abode of clouds,’ to see breathtaking waterfalls and living root bridges. Explore Assam, the land of rhinos and tea plantations. And discover Sikkim, a Himalayan wonderland of monasteries, mountains and flower valleys. Friendly locals, unique tribal cultures, and pristine landscapes make the best tourist places in the Northeast.
· Kutch (Gujarat) - The arid region of Kutch offers a glimpse into traditional Gujarati culture. Visit during the Rann Utsav festival to see the white salt desert glow under the moonlight. Famous places like the historic port town of Mandvi, with its scenic beach and crumbling forts, are the best tourist spots. Discover the ancient city of Bhuj, a treasure trove of crafts, and watch artisans create intricate embroidery, pottery, and wood carvings. Kutch's stark yet stunning scenery provides a perfect backdrop for adventure and solitude.
· Coastal Karnataka - Palm-fringed beaches, historic temples, and lush green hills - coastal Karnataka has it all. Relax on the shores of Gokarna, Om Beach and Murudeshwara. Travel to places like historic forts and palaces in the port city of Mangalore. Visit to places like Udupi, the birthplace of the popular vegetarian cuisine, and savour delicious dosas and idlis. Watch the sunset at St. Mary's Island, a picturesque seaside destination. Colourful local festivals, vibrant nightlife and opportunities for watersports make the coast an unforgettable holiday spot.
· Spiti Valley (Himachal Pradesh) - Nestled high in the Himalayas, Spiti Valley remains secluded from the outside world. Snow-capped peaks, deep gorges, and winding mountain roads surround this cold desert valley. Ancient monasteries cling to the sides of peaks, showcasing a traditional Buddhist way of life. Camp under a sky full of stars and wake up to stunning sunrise views over snowy mountains.
Tips for solo female travellers
Travelling solo to famous places in India as a woman can be an enriching experience. However, here are a few things to remember for a safe and enjoyable trip -
· Choose your accommodation wisely - Opt for hotels with good security and 24-hour reception. Homestays with locks on doors and rooms on lower floors are also good options. In more remote areas, check if the accommodation has emergency contact details and transportation options in case of any issues.
· Transportation - Pre-book airport transfers or trains between cities. For shorter distances, choose taxi services like Uber, Ola, or local taxi stands instead of auto-rickshaws. Sit in the backseat and track your route on GPS. On public transport, choose seats with more women and near the conductor.
· Stay connected - Get a local SIM card and save important contacts. Share your live location with friends or on social media. Call 100 for police help in emergencies. Install safety apps that can send SOS alerts.
· Be culturally sensitive - Dress conservatively, especially in religious places you visit. Politely refuse unwanted attention and don't engage in unwanted conversations. Avoid unpopulated or dimly lit areas at night. Don't display expensive gadgets or jewellery.
