2. Is India safe for a woman to travel alone? India is an increasingly welcoming country for women travelers. Female tourism has grown significantly, making India an attractive and safe destination. The warmth of its people and its diverse landscapes will captivate you and more and more Indian women are traveling alone in their country, which speaks for itself!

I never thought that a trip could bring my mother and me so close. I’ve shared experiences that I will never forget.
It was my wife who wanted to go to India. For me, there are so many places to discover that India wasn’t my first choice. We looked at different trips, but they were all very conventional and didn’t appeal to me.
The first day alone has been an explosion of culture and experiences… I can’t control my excitement!
Don’t worry, contact us at info@openeyesproject.com or through our contact page, and our team in India will design the trip of your dreams, considering your motivations, purpose, dates and duration of the trip.
We will inform you of all the steps to follow.
If you have already visited our group tours page and there is one that interests you, please email us at info@openeyesproject.com to check availability and receive all the details.
Our groups, limited to 12-14 people, tend to fill up quickly.
Don’t think twice!
Since 2011, Open Eyes has been promoting responsible and sustainable tourism in India.
Our commitment is to respect destinations, generate a positive impact and design high quality experiences for travelers and therefore we avoid large groups so as not to invade cities and rural areas, and not to negatively affect the local socio-cultural and economic aspects generated by massive groups.
We limit our groups to a maximum of 14 people, guaranteeing a more pleasant, exclusive and profound trip.
This facilitates an authentic and respectful connection between travelers, the local community and the environment.
Although it is not mandatory, it is highly recommended to take out travel insurance.
You can choose the company you prefer, and if you need recommendations, we will provide you with some collaborating options.
