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.

They are out of the Asia Cup, which is an even bigger embarrassment. India are still in the final. All is not lost for them. It was a great wakeup call for them to come back harder and make sure they secure victory in the finals but that will only happen if they play really well.

Why Trump's Claims About Americans Splitting The Atom Angers New Zealanders

Imagine a newly-elected president of a country claiming the legacy of someone as foundational as Thomas Edison. That's the kind of appropriation New Zealanders are witnessing. The recent inaugural address of President Donald Trump has sparked a heated debate over the origins of a groundbreaking scientific achievement: splitting the atom. Trump's claim that American experts were responsible for this feat has been met with swift correction from New Zealanders, who proudly assert that their native son, Sir Ernest Rutherford, was the true pioneer behind this discovery. Rutherford's achievement in 1917 at Victoria University of Manchester in England marked a pivotal moment in the history of nuclear physics. His work not only earned him a Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1908 but also led to the discovery of radioactive half-life and the understanding that radioactivity involves the transmutation of one chemical element to another. Nick Smith, the mayor of Nelson, near Rutherford...
