The
long-awaited extended weekend is almost here and if you are running short of
ideas for bag-packing, here are some places you MUST explore on your own.
When you give yourself to places,
they give you yourself back." - Rebacca Solni

to describe travelling in a sentence that would be -being in an unknown place
all alone helps you to fall in love with yourself, all over again, something we
forget jumping from duty to responsibility in our everyday lives. This
Independence Day weekend, ditch all the group plans and take yourself tripping
for an everlasting memory. We bring you places that are yearning to be explored
by you, find out!

Andaman and Neil Island
Andaman,
one of the best nature exposed destination is the best for the solo travelers.
It is a medicine for all the stress and the best relaxation for the weekend
like that of this independence. Also, one of the famous Cellular jail and its
sound show is the best to celebrate your Independence Day where you can feel
the devotion of the fighters and the saga of Freedom fight. In short, Andaman
is the best solo trip idea for this coming Independence weekend.

Ladakh
We agree it
is not for the faint-hearted, but you have to agree that Ladakh deserves to be
on the top of this list. Ladakh, for many travellers, is synonymous with
serenity, tranquility and the spiritual journey within. It is the absolute and
ultimate Holy Grail for solo travelling. The serene calm of the valleys and
pure, pristine mountain air will make you hate the poison you were inhaling in
your city back home. The sky that changes colour from blue to yellow to orange
to even pink at times may seem lifted straight from a masterpiece. Choose up,
and make your weekend memorable.

Pondicherry
Need lots of savings to visit the most romantic city in the world? Worry
not! Even if Paris is a distant dream for you right now (we will pray that you
land there eventually) we bring you the quaint flavor of the French colony in
India itself. With French influence in its architecture and food, Puducherry
makes for a perfect weekend getaway. You are guaranteed an amazing time with
beaches, temples, churches and most importantly, french cuisines! A best
weekend trip is waiting keenly.
Are you a
wild-life enthusiast? Nature lover? Or you've just bought a brand new DSLR and
cannot figure out where to begin? Located in Kerala in the lap of flora and
fauna, Munnar provides solo hikers the calm, peace and adventure of witnessing
several threatened species. Its tea plantations act as another bonus. On this
independence grab your bag and give life anew wings.

Nainital
There is a reason Nainital has always been regarded as one of the
popular hill stations of India. Tucked between the pristine valleys of Uttarakhand,
Nainital is a rejuvenating escape from the daily humdrum of metro life. You
will find very warm and welcoming locals here, which is guaranteed to make your
stay in this small town even more magical.
Travelling alone pushes you out of your comfort zone. When you have to
book your hotels, tickets, tents all by yourself, you grow a lot more
responsible and a little more proud of yourself. So, you may be a
watching-the-sun-as-it-yawns-and-rises type of person or someone whose heart
belongs in a quaint country cottage, either way, we urge you tie your shoe
laces, pack your bags and just go. It is the inner journey that you undertake,
in the depths of solitude, which is the truest gift solo travelling gives you.
