Hey guys,
I want to book a group tour to spiti and am looking for recommendations. I am a solo woman traveler hence I need to make sure the agency is safe.
​
Also need to understand your Throughs on a trip in July. Is it a good season to travel? What would my cons be?
I want to join a group trip and was wondering if any other women are planning a similar trip around that time. It would be nice to connect, share itineraries, and maybe have some company on parts of the journey.
​
Feel free to drop a comment or DM if you are heading that way around July'26.
Ranakpur Jain Temple honestly left me speechless. And trust me, that rarely happens. The marble work is so unreal it almost looks AI-generated… except it was built centuries ago by people with talent and patience I clearly do not possess.
The taxi from Udaipur cost me around ₹5k which, as a solo female traveller, hurt my wallet a little. And the ride back at night? Equal parts peaceful, eerie, and feels like it could turn into a crime documentary 🙈 But despite all that .. absolutely worth every penny.
Also, don’t just do a rushed early morning visit and leave. Leave by 12 pm for the temple & stay for the evening light & sound show at the fort. Watching the firt lit up at night is genuinely magical.
Things to keep in mind:
- You can’t carry water or snacks inside the temple, so leave everything in the car.
- Taxi drivers may tell you there is no light and sound show at the fort.” There is. They just want to head home early. Pay a little extra like I did.. but Stand your ground.
- The 4puja highway stretch gets VERY lonely ( no street lights) at night. I was mentally drafting goodbye messages on the way back. If possible, travel in a group, avoid getting too late, and stay alert. Solo travel is beautiful, but survival instincts are free and useful.
Urrak is an acquired taste.. but once you like it.. it is one refreshing drink.. perfect for the summers...
