Top Solo Travel Destinations of 2025, India Tops the List

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta – Solo travel is one of the journeys that can empower yourself. Starting from increasing independence by exploring a foreign city, increasing confidence in daring to take new transportation to enjoying time alone. The choice of destination also affects your trip.

According to a new report by Kensington, a luxury guided travel service, India is ranked as the top destination for those who want to travel solo by 2025. The report only takes into account findings from “affluent” travelers, and the insights are compiled from Kensington’s 2024 data and two external surveys conducted in collaboration with Opinium Research and Dig Insight.

The Affluent Traveller Survey report shows that almost 76 percent of respondents are very open to taking an international solo trip in the next three years, with a small percentage reporting more interest in it. Although there was a decline in solo travelers after the Covid-19 pandemic, the number has increased again in recent years.

According to Matt Cammaert, SVP of marketing at Kensington, travelers who want to travel solo are increasingly choosing destinations with deep cultural meaning and unique landscapes balanced with independence and personalized and seamless service.

“They want the freedom to explore on their own terms while enjoying expert guidance, exclusive access and itineraries tailored to their interests,” she told Travel + Leisure.
