Many times in our lives, we wish to pause everything, pack our bags and travel to a destination even if just for a while. As exciting as the idea might seem, it comes with a lot of baggage. Even if one overcomes the daunting feeling of pausing life to do so, for a woman to take this step can get a little more tricky.
Thinking of one's safety is always a priority, and if this thought fills a traveller's mind all the time, the essence of travelling and relishing the journey is completely lost. However there are quite a few places in India where these fears can be put to rest. These locations in India are definitely the places to go to, if you want to spend quality time in the arms of nature.
