What Are The Best Places For A Solo Trip In North India In March?

North India has some beautiful places you that can be travelled solo. Here are some of the best trekking spots in North India that are ideal for solo trips.

By Kartik Enumula

Travelling solo isn't always easy. It can test your patience, courage and willingness to adapt to situations outside of your comfort zone. But on the flipside, solo trips are fantastic opportunities to reminisce, contemplate, rejuvenate yourself, and face the challenges of meeting and getting to know a diverse set of people.

You might be surprised to know that the trips you take alone could end up being your favourites, and could even top the experiences you would have had when travelling with family and friends. A solo trip often offers several advantages that are but overlooked when planning trips with a group.

When you travel alone, the only person you need to worry about pleasing is yourself - you set the schedule, have the freedom to decide where to go and what to do, and never be influenced by the decisions of travel companions.

When you travel alone, you start to notice how you spend your days when free from external influences. You really discover 'yourself', so to speak. This is precious knowledge that you can bring back home and integrate with your daily life, thus giving you a fresh perspective on everything you want to accomplish.

And with that being said, here we give you a list of solo-trip destinations in North India that you can begin exploring on your own, especially in the month of March.

5. Hampta Pass

5. Hampta Pass

At the outset, Hampta Pass is unusual. It climbs out of lush green valleys of Kullu to a high point in the mountains. The high point is a window to a drastically different world - the desert landscape of Lahaul. From this point, you can witness a bizarre twist in the whole landscape, so much that it feels completely surreal. The entire trek offers camp-sites that are distinct from each other. Each day of the trek offers a different terrain to experience. It is a highly recommended trek for its rapid, dramatic scenery changes and the novel pass crossing.
