I'm 27 (f) travelling solo.

Himachal always holds a piece of my heart. Every time I return, I find another family to call my own.

I'm planning a solo trip from Haldwani or Rudrapur, Uttarakhand, starting November 6, for 10 days. Spiti has been on my travel bucket list for years, and I'm finally hoping to make this happen! However, my mind is juggling between Spiti and Parvati. I also want to meet my dada in Sissu. He has been wanting to me meet ever since my last return from Sissu.

I prefer staying in one place for a few days, interacting with locals, experiencing everyday life, exploring local food and culture, and finding off-beat places.

Any practical advice, personal experiences or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.
