2) Read and research more:
You need to research more about your destination’s history, geography, and what are the local foods available in the nearby restaurants, good accommodation facilities, etc. You need to also have information about the weather conditions and know what is the best time to visit a particular location. So, if you are planning to visit Kerala during summer, be prepared for the heat waves and pack your bags accordingly.
3) Pack your required documents and keep them ready:
You need to know what identity documents would be required by the travel authorities and accommodation facilities where you plan to stay during your solo journey. Some hotels ask for Aadhaar Card specifically while some are okay with your company ID card also. So make sure to get all those documents’ originals and also photocopies if there is any need. You can keep a soft copy of the important documents in your email like vaccination certificate, Travel pass, ticket, etc.
4) Pack light in a small suitcase:
You need to have a small suitcase where there are important documents and also a backpack that you can carry outside while traveling stress-free. You can even carry some bags for buying some stuff from the local markets. Carry some cash but not excess so that you can spend it on the purchases at hotels and shops.
Avoid eating a lot of oily, spicy, and sugary foods in your hotel. Go for vegetables, fruits, and buttermilk as they are good for your health. Take a short nap whenever you feel tired so that you feel good when you travel outside. Do some exercises in the morning time so that you are flexible and also stay fresh throughout your journey.
