Some tips for a solo vacation in India

  4. Pre-book all the amenities and services. Stick with reputed service providers.
  5. Learn about the destination before you choose to try a vacation out of it.
  6. Do not let anyone around you know that you are alone in that destination.
  7. If you wish to get wasted, order room service or choose exclusive parties. Getting drunk in some random place would be a bad choice, especially when you are a solo traveler in an international destination.
