When you hear solo travelling, you end up finding excuses and experience dilemma regarding safety. . Especially if you are a woman. Ironically, every time a woman travels solo, she feels more empowered and connected to her grounds and roots. She realizes that her fear can be overcome because a lot of the places are left untraveled with the fear of something going terribly wrong.
What suggestion do we have for someone who wants to go and see solo? For the ones who have no idea of what to do, and also to those who’ve been doing this. It can be a friendly reminder, or it can be a suggestion.
You could opt for going on hikes and treks. Because one thing that we can tell us about them is that when you are hiking, you think of reaching tranquillity. There is no race. There is no competition that makes you want to work smart. And there definitely is no work to do than to be present at the moment. And this is one of the reasons why people go for hikes. The difficulty level might be different but there is no competition waiting to be fulfilled in the shortest amount of time. In fact, the journey becomes about taking the time to reach the destination that you want to reach anyways. And that is such a beautiful thing in this world of busyness and chaos.
So here we are, bringing you places in Nepal, where you can go solo and explore the place, thus thyself as well.
