Thousand Pillar Temple - Warangal, Telangana and a luxurious stay at Suprabha Hotel

Exciting tourist spots & accommodations in Warangal.  Located 140 kms from Hyderabad, lies the bustling city of Warangal in Telangana. For solo women travelers, Warangal offers not only a respite from the heat in blazing summer but also places that are less crowded and safer to visit. How to reach Warangal from Hyderabad & is it safe for women? Book a Train or a Bus. A train from Hyderabad takes 2-3 hours and so does a bus, irrespective of what the website says. Moreover, a train is much more comfortable - it has a loo for instance! However, if you are unable to get a ticket in the peak season, then look for a TSRTC or Redbus . Yes Warangal feels super safe for women on a solo trip/ business trip. Daytime outings are preferred than late-night ones.  To pamper yourself, make a booking through Agoda.com.  Why?  They offer a competitive rate.

Best Beach to visit in Goa for introverts?

Image
Minor Details Matter.. only during Travel. Planned a trip to Goa, on an early morning impulse (4.00), to get away from the drudgery of everyday life. Did not want to mingle with the crowd or come anywhere close to them.  How to reach Goa from Hyderabad?  Headed to Agonda Beach to get rid of the madness. We took the train from Hyderabad to Margao as that was closest to Agonda Beach. Travel time was unbearable - insane 24 hours. All that was forgotten as soon as we left Margao Station. Nice tarred roads. Greenery on both sides of the road, makes it unbelievable, that it still exists, in India, even in 2018! Agonda is not very commercial and we loved that about it. Uncrowded, sandy beaches can be found at  Agonda, located in South Goa. Goa is a state like no other, I am scared to admit, in case it becomes like other tourism spots.   Best Budget Hotels by the Beach in Goa? Personally curated resorts for best stay by the Agonda beach in Goa are  The V...
