Woman Traveller's Kerala Trip Experience Goes Viral: 'Not Once It Felt...'

A female traveller has praised Kerala for being one of the safest places to travel in the country as a tourist. In a now-viral Reddit post titled, "Kerala felt safe for female traveller like me", the user stated that she never felt unsafe in the region, with locals constantly coming forward to help her.

"This wasn't my first time in Kerala, earlier in 2023, I visited Varkala, Trivandrum and Kovalam, but this time in 2025, I visited Suryanelli, a great gem 21 km ahead of Munnar, Thekkady, Alapuzha and Kochi. It was just me and my female friend, not once it felt like we were unsafe," the traveller wrote in the r/SoloTravel_India subreddit.

Posting pictures of her travel, the woman highlighted that the villages in Kerala were 'super clean' and that she enjoyed the culture of the state.

"Via both my visits to Kerala, I felt safe, secure and protected. The city, along with the villages, are super clean and I did end up seeing the beautiful and diverse culture it has to offer. Kerala offers everyone something or the other. We didn't feel bored at all. There is something for everyone."

While there was some language barrier in some places, the traveller highlighted that the locals made genuine efforts to communicate, often using broken Hindi, which she appreciated.

"In other words, it's clean, fresh, safe and needs to be protected. I hope the only best for Kerala and the rest of India. May every woman who travels never feel the burden of uncertainty in terms of her own safety."

'Can't disagree'

As the post gained traction online, the majority of social media users agreed with her assessment, whilst others shared their experiences when travelling through the state.

"Thanks for sharing this, and recently my family went to Kerala and I can't disagree that it felt the safest for us," said one user while another added: "Please make a post highlighting your trip itinerary and trip experience. It would help others to plan their trips."

A third commented: "I have lived in Kerala for 8 long years. Absolutely loved the people, weather and place. I never spoke Malayalam ever in my life there because I couldn't learn it, but I never faced any issues of any kind. To date, I am in touch with most of my colleagues/ friends from there."

In February, Kerala Tourism Minister PA Mohamed Riyas informed the Assembly that the state attracted over 2.22 crore tourists in 2024, which was a 21 per cent rise compared to the pre-pandemic period.

Hollywood Shuts Down As Actors Go On Strike

Hollywood's actors announced Thursday they will go on strike, joining writers in the first industry-wide shutdown in 63 years after last-ditch talks failed, with nearly all film and television production set to grind to a halt. The Screen Actors Guild (SAG-AFTRA), which represents 160,000 performers including A-list stars, said negotiations had ended without a deal on their demands over dwindling pay and the threat posed by artificial intelligence. "SAG-AFTRA's national board unanimously voted to issue a strike order against the studios and streamers," said the union's chief negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland. The strike will begin at midnight Thursday (0700 GMT Friday), meaning actors will join writers on picket lines from Friday morning in the first Hollywood "double strike" since 1960. Writers have already spent 11 weeks on the picket line, after their similar demands for better pay and protections against the future use of AI in television and fi...
