Best Places to Travel Alone in India
Best Places to Travel Alone in India
Solo traveling is great fun but choosing a place to travel alone is something you need to be a master at. No panicking, not every traveler is. Are you planning to explore India alone?
Udaipur
Khajjar
Alleppey
Manali-Leh
Goa
Sangla

For people who are planning a trip in the future -
Depending on how much time you have, first time travelers need to see Bombay and Delhi for sure. You can see the Taj Mahal in a quick day trip from Delhi by car. Then if you have weeks to kill or if this is not your first trip, then Jaipur/Udaipur and Kerala are must dos.
Funny part of the matter is that even after doing all this, there is A LOT to see in India. The north is very different from the south, and the east is very different from the western parts of India.

If it's painful to look at this still alive thread, don't.
Yes, it is an old, unexplained open-ended question on which the OP never expanded. But you know what? For those just formulating their first India visit, it's actually useful to get the broadest of overviews. I've found the responses (other than the whiney ones) useful. I'm struggling with Mumbai>Rajasthan>Delhi vs. Mumbai>Kerala/Goa>Delhi on a two week initial visit. And I've now quickly learned that these are both tenable choices, with Rajasthan perhaps the more popular outside the big cities.
So, thanks OP, wherever you are, and thanks Mods for leaving this thread alone.

If this is your first time to India, I'd recommend Rajasthan, and Udaipur in particular.

Agreed. The opening question is clearly unanswerable in any definitive form, but the replies throw up some interesting ideas. Last year they sent me off to Mahabalipuram as well as Pondicherry - a side trip I really enjoyed.
