Best backpacker hostel for solo travellers in Bangalore

03 Feb 2026

The idea of solo travel sounds scary and exhilarating at the same time. The art of solo travel is not something that can happen overnight. It takes a lot of practice and the most important thing โ€“ just a little bit of sensible risk taking. This is not the same as jumping off a plane but like anything there are associated risks. However, embarking on that first journey creates a sense of freedom like never before. The idea that you do not need anybody else to travel brings out a new set of emotions that one had never experienced before. There are several joys to be experienced from solo travel when coupled with sensible strategies and logical planning. There is indeed definite self-growth that is experienced. Ask any person who has done it and they will tell you stories galore, but they will share something even more valuable โ€“ the feelings and emotions experienced. There is a certain level of joy experienced with travelling on your own, you have the option to set your own pace, stay wherever you feel comfortable, check out attractions that appeal to you and most importantly โ€“ full control of your day! Group travel is fun but it is something that is good only for a weekend or so travel. Slow and experiential travel requires patience which is not easily possible in a group. A lot of times, the ability to truly experience moments, places and people escapes because our attention is diverted to the persons we are moving around with.
