r/WorkationIndia

Hi everyone,

I'm 27, work in fintech fully remote and immensely love to travel and impromptu plans. I'm trying to connect with level headed lovely people who are up for impromptu travel plans be it domestically in india or internationally as well.

It would be a pleasure to exchange ideas, experiences about life, travel and pastimes and be friends.

So far travelled quite a few countries and a lof of states within itself.

Let us connect, talk. Digital Nomads/Remote workers also can have a good social life through like minded community❤️

Cheers guys😊

I have been thinking of going on a workation since a very long time and now Bir (Himachal Pradesh) looks like a good option
Yet I am looking to be absolutely sure whether I should go now or not

—Looking for suggestions of good hotels/hostels. (Budget friendly)
—Is the wifi and electricity reliable?
—I don’t really know how to ride a scooty so what else i can do when I am there?
—Is it even logical to travel in the next week considering the weather?
—I have heard that paragliding stops for sometime during monsoon, Is that true?
—Are there buses from Delhi that have private cabin? I tried searching but couldn’t find any :(

Hi, I (28M) am planning a month-long solo trip to Himachal from 10 September to 10 October. I’m thinking of staying in Kasol and exploring nearby places during the day.

I have the option to WFH and my workload is pretty light, around 3–4 hours a day max, so I can work for a few hours and spend the rest of the day exploring.

I’m planning to book one homestay for the entire month, so I don’t want to keep changing places every few days. Basically, I’m looking for a good base where I can work, explore nearby places during the day, and come back to the same place at night.

Apart from Kasol, is there anywhere else in Himachal I should consider? Good WiFi/network is obviously important. 😅

Would love to hear suggestions from people who’ve done something similar!

Hey everyone!

I’m planning to work from the mountains for around 1 month, starting October 15th, and I’m looking for people who might be interested in joining.

The base location will be Manali, and during the stay I’m planning to explore:

🏔️ Spiti Valley
🌲 Kasol
🏞️ Shimla
🚗 Other nearby places

If anyone is interested in joining for the whole month or even for a part of the trip, feel free to DM me!
Also, if anyone knows of a good and reasonably priced homestay in Manali that’s suitable for a month-long stay please comment below or DM me.
Would love to connect with fellow people who are into workations, travel, and exploring the mountains! 🙌

Hey everyone,

I'm planning a 1+ month workation, starting off in Goa and then slowly making my way down south along the coast. No concrete plans, I'll mostly go with the flow.

I’m really torn right now between riding my own bike down there vs. just backpacking and renting locally as and when needed.

Taking my bike has its convenience for daily use/short sunset/sunrise trips without having to worry about renting for entire day, but not taking my bike means absolute freedom, and more spontaneity.

For those who’ve taken their own bikes in goa/south india:

• Is having your own vehicle actually worth the hassle for a long-term stay?
• How bad is the cop situation? My main concern is getting unnecessarily harassed just for having an out-of-state number plate. Did you guys face much of this?

Also, I’ll be reaching Goa around August 31st (probably sooner if I decide to ditch the bike and take public transport). If anyone is around and wants to grab a drink, hangout or explore, hit me up!

I’m trying to plan a 2-week workcation and would love some practical advice from people who have done this before.

How do you usually find decent, affordable places for a longer stay where you can actually work? Hotels, homestays, hostels with private rooms, local contacts, WhatsApp groups, Airbnb/Booking, or reaching the place first and checking rooms in person?

I’m mostly looking for:

• Private room
• Reliable Wi-Fi for calls
• Clean attached bathroom
• Basic table/chair setup
• Hot water
• Not too isolated
• Budget-friendly for 10-15 days

I’m currently considering Bir, Himachal Pradesh, around late August to early September. If anyone knows affordable hotels, homestays, or hostels there with good private rooms for remote work, please share leads.

Also open to general tips on negotiating longer stays or avoiding bad workcation stays.

Hi

I am thinking of planning for a workation trip for 3 weeks in November in Leh or somewhere up in the mountains. I would like to know if anyone has done it before, your experience, and especially how good is the wifi!

Destination- Leh
Duration- 3 weeks in November
Solo Trip
Budget- 25k

Any recommendations on where to stay also would be much appreciated.

Thank you!

Hello everyone! After a lot of procrastination, I have finally decided to go on my first solo trip/workation. And… I am clueless.

I am avoiding the mountains since the rains are still unpredictable, also not a fan of the crowded hill stations. I am planning to begin my journey from Mumbai, where I will be visiting a relative, so South India is currently in my top preferences.

I don’t smoke or drink, and I’m not looking to party. Just a good backpacking culture, great food, and peaceful scenic places.

My timeline will be around the first 2 weeks of September. Any and all suggestions are welcome. Very excited and very nervous ngl. Thank you!

Also I’m 26M, but yes safety is something that I am also worried about, it being my first solo trip and all.

Hey! I’m planning a 1-week workation in Pondicherry from Aug 14th(leave from Bengaluru) to Aug 21st and thought I’d see if anyone else is around during the same time.
The rough plan is:
Work remotely during weekdays
Explore locally in the evenings
Stay in a hostel rather than a private room
Do a bit of beach walking, French Quarter exploring
And explore sightseeings on weekdays
I’m haven’t locked in the hostel yet, so I’m open to suggestions.
If you’re also working remotely, travelling solo, or doing a short workation in Pondicherry around Aug 14–21, feel free to DM me. It’d be nice to explore the town, try cafés, work together during the day, or overlap for a part of the trip.

Hey! I’m planning a week workation in Pondicherry from thought if anyone else is around during the same time.
