The country's territory comprises one main island, 63 satellite islands and islets, and one outlying islet; the combined area of these has increased by 25% since the country's independence as a result of extensive land reclamation projects. It has the second highest population density of any country in the world, although there are numerous green and recreational spaces as a result of urban planning. With a multicultural population and in recognition of the cultural identities of the major ethnic groups within the nation, Singapore has four official languages – English, Malay, Mandarin, and Tamil.

Multi-racialism is enshrined in the constitution and continues to shape national policies in education, housing, and politics.

Making solo travel easier.

Solo Travel in India

Types of Girl about the Globe – Beach GatG, Cultural GatG, History GatG, Yoga GatG

When you solo travel in Asia, if you’re looking for a complete overload on the senses, and somewhere so diverse and different from anywhere else, then India it has to be. India solo travel will empower you, challenge you and change you.

If you're planning solo female travel in India but are unsure which places to travel solo in India, where to stay and how to get around, I've put together a solo travel in India guide to help. 

All recommendations are from myself (I've travelled solo in India twice), and our solo female community and come with our Solo Female Friendly endorsement. And, if you book through the links in this guide,  I donate money to projects helping vulnerable girls about the globe. Thank you for helping to make a difference to their lives.

Taj Mahal, one of the amazing places for solo trip in India

India is an amazing country with so much to see that you may not even get around half of it. Solo travel India during October to February and you’re likely to meet Westerners travelling the country, but be prepared for a culture shock, and as a woman you might draw some unwanted attention, especially in the beach areas. This country is definitely a life changer. That's why I've given it 3 out of 5 stars as it's a country more for a seasoned solo traveller than if it's your first time alone. 

Is travel to India safe?

One big question you may have for a solo trip India is: “Is India safe?” Although there is so much bad publicity about India, solo travel for a woman in India needs precautions depending on where you go. If you are streetwise and remain vigilant, India is a beautiful country to explore as a solo female. Unfortunately, this is a country where sexual attacks can happen and as a single woman tourist you do need to be a bit more careful than in other countries. 

Beware of anyone being too friendly and don’t go anywhere with strangers, no matter how persuasive they are. There is extreme poverty here, so be prepared to get hassled from beggars, (which unfortunately many are disabled). Expect unwanted attention from men and avoid being over-friendly, keeping yourself covered up to avoid sexual attention and being groped.

One of the best places to travel alone for a woman in India is Rishikesh, the country's yoga capital. It is easy to meet other solo travelers in India who come to this spiritual city. Goa is also one of the places to visit solo in India. Known for its beaches, this cultural heritage region in the southwest of India is popular for India solo female travel and easy to meet other solo travelers India . In beach destinations you may be the centre of attention if you are just in your bikini, so cover if if you feel comfortable. 

When you travel India solo, be wary about going out by yourself at night, depending on where you are. Take a scarf or buy a pashmina when you're there to cover up at religious sites and temples and save your short summer dresses for the beach areas. 

Theft can also happen so carrying a padlock and chain to secure your belongings on buses or trains when you travel India solo is a great idea. One of the scams in India is that the taxi driver tells you that your hotel is closed. If this happens and they offer to take you to another one (which they get commission for), just refuse and find another driver to take to your chosen accommodation.

Lastly, don't let me deter you from visiting the country. I have visited India twice and have never had a problem. It's important to know before you go there to ensure that you have the best, safest time. 

This article will show you how to travel solo in India but if you are unsure of the places to see in India, where to go in India, or what to do in India by yourself, you may feel more comfortable on a group tour for your solo holidays to India.

* Before your solo trips to India, check what paperwork or visas are required for India  

Varanasi is a fantastic place to visit when you travel solo India

Home to over a billion people, India is a country of contradictions – snake charmers and holy men dressed in loincloths loitering outside internet cafes, and some of the world’s deepest cultural and religious traditions prospering amidst extreme poverty and pollution. Your feelings about India will likely be conflicted as well.

When you solo travel to India, one moment you’ll love it, and the next moment you’ll be cursing your train for being 12 hours late. With patience, time, and an open-minded attitude, India will reveal its secrets to you, and the rough moments of travelling solo in India, will all seem worth it.

If it’s your first time travelling India solo and you are unsure of where to visit in India, consider India’s Golden Triangle. Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. These destinations are the best places in India to visit for the most popular India attractions.

Start in Delhi , India’s capital and a good place to slowly familiarize yourself with India’s cultures and rhythms. Things to do alone in Delhi include wandering through the streets of Old Delhi and visiting the famous Red Fort. Old Delhi’s twisting alleys and markets are also wonderful for picking up saris, spices, art pieces, and other crafts.

When you explore New Delhi , if you visit only one museum in India, check out New Delhi’s National Museum, which is packed with historical artefacts from India’s recent and not-so-recent past. Is it safe for women to travel in New Delhi? New Delhi also boasts some of India’s finest restaurants and nightlight but for Delhi solo female travel, venturing out as part of a group will definitely be safer.

Take a solo trip from Delhi, for a couple of days for a side trip. Visit Rajasthan, with its stunning cities set against a dramatic desert landscape. Highlights include Jaipur (the pink city) and Jodhpur (the blue city). Both cities offer excellent shopping and are exceptionally photogenic due to their monochromatic old quarters.

Jaipur is home to one of the top places to visit in India; the stunning Haha Mahal. What makes it one of the unique places to visit in India is its stunning honeycomb shaped facade, built using pink and red sandstone.

Jaipur is about 5-6 hours from Delhi, depending on whether you take the train or the bus, and Jodhpur is about twice as far. Both cities offer a maze of temples, palaces, and bazars to explore.

From Rajasthan, one of the best things to do in India is explore the Thar Desert. It’s in this hot, arid region that you can partake in some of the unique things to do in India such as dune bashing, a camel ride or parasailing for a bird’s eye view of this beautiful desert.

Once you’re back in Delhi, you’ll need to decide if you want to branch out into northern India or southern India. If northern India beckons (the best bet for solo female travelers), your next stop is Agra and the nearby Taj Mahal , one of the popular tourist attractions in India. You can also book Leh Ladakh tour packages from Delhi too. If instead you’re heading south from Delhi, you can still visit the Taj Mahal as a long day trip from Delhi before departing. It’s about 3 ½ hours one way by train.

Not surprisingly, the Taj Mahal is overrun by tourists; Indians and foreigners alike. This is one of the most beautiful places in India and was built by emperor Shah Jahan as a mausoleum for his wife. Your best bet is to visit this spectacular landmark early in the morning to beat the crowds. Agra pales in comparison to other Indian cities, so it’s best to make a quick stop here and continue on to Varanasi via an overnight train.

Hindus consider Varanasi as one of the holiest cities in India, and it is said that if you die here, you will immediately be liberated from the endless cycle of death and rebirth. Millions of Indians make a pilgrimage here either to bathe in the sacred Ganges, upon which the city is perched, or to cremate a family member.

See the chaotic old city along the river banks in Varanasi. Touring the old town and wandering through its ghats (steps leading down to the Ganges either for bathing or ceremonial purposes) is intense, picturesque, and not-to-be-missed. It should go without saying, but don’t photograph funerals or cremations, and keep a respectful distance.

You can organize boat tours onto the Ganges, and Varanasi’s daily evening ceremonies – complete with music, dance, and all manner of holy men – are amazing.

North India

To reach the true heart of north India, you’ll need to take the overnight train (or fly) back to Delhi. From Delhi, it’s about 7 hours by train or bus to Rishikesh , first made famous by the Beatles. It is without doubt one of the magical places in India, and best places to visit in India for yoga lovers. 

Rishikesh also sits on the Ganges, and you’ll find a wide variety of yoga courses, meditation retreats, ashrams, and massage classes available to help you wind down from the chaos you’ve likely experienced thus far whilst travelling India. For more active travelers, Rishikesh is also one of the places to go in India to organize whitewater rafting trips and treks into the nearby Himalayas.

Rishikesh is one of the best places for solo trip in India

Another highlight of northern India is Dharamsala and nearby McLeod Ganj , home to the Tibetan government in exile. If you’re lucky, you can catch the Dalai Lama while he’s home, but check ahead, as he travels frequently. These two towns offer a multitude of worthy volunteer opportunities helping the Tibetan refugee community, as well as a glimpse into India’s Buddhist traditions.

If you really want to see the Himalayas in their full glory, head to Ladakh , in the far northwest. Ladakh is accessible by road during the summer months, but you’ll need to fly in the winter as the road closes due to heavy snow. The Buddhist city of Leh is a great base from which to organize further explorations in Ladakh.

The region offers outstanding trekking, cultural tours, homestays, and a peek into centuries-old traditions. In general, Ladakh is also one of the safer areas in India for solo female travellers.

Best Places To Visit in South India

If southern India’s beaches and spicy dishes are more your style, head south from Delhi to Goa . Flying is the best choice for this journey, unless you want to spend multiple days on the train. Be careful in Goa – although it has something of a reputation as an international party destination, you’re still in India. 

Things to do in Goa India, include getting a tan, but carefully observe what others are wearing before breaking out your bikini at the beach. When you tire of sunbathing, nearby Hampi offers a relatively quiet escape. Time seems to have stopped in Hampi, and you’ll love wandering through 15th century ruins and climbing on the wildly shaped rock formations.

Heading further south, visit Kerala , perhaps India’s most progressive state. Cruise the lazy backwaters between Alleppey and Kollam  and if you’ve got a group and rupees to spare, renting a houseboat is the way to travel in style.

Visit the ashram of Amma, the famous “Hugging Mother,” and one of India’s few female gurus. Amma’s ashram is in Amritapuri, and as with the Dalai Lama, check her schedule first to make sure that she will be in residence.

If you really want to get away from it all, one of our India trip tips is to fly out to the Andaman Islands , featuring pristine beaches, excellent snorkeling and diving opportunities, and dozens of local tribes and cultures.

Central India

For the wildlife Girl about the Globe wondering what to see in India in terms of wildlife, India’s national animal is the Bengal Tiger and one of the most popular parks in the country to see them is at Bandhavgarh National Park. Located in the central state of Madhya Pradesh, this state has more than two third’s of the world’s tiger population. Take one of the India sightseeing tours over 2 nights for a game drive in the park and you may also spot deer, cats and monkeys. It is costly but one of the fun things to do in India, especially if you see a leopard too. 

Ranthambore National Park is another of the county’s national parks. It is also where you can see tigers within the Tiger Reserve but another of its attractions is the the Ranthambore Fort, a 10th century fort that sits on a hilltop overlooking the park. Whilst you’re here see the Ganesh Mandir temple, the water lilies on Padam Lake, and escape the crowds at Kachida Valley.

The Gateway of India

If you have time when traveling India, venture across to the west coast to visit Mumbai, another of the safe places to visit in India. Although it is the most populated city in India, some parts of the city feel more Western than Indian. Things to do alone in Mumbai India include marvelling at the architecture of Mumbai’s main railway station (especially when it is lit up at night), seeing the Mumbai Taj and its European influence, wandering around the Global Vipassana Pagoda, watching the sun go down at the Gateway of India, and walking along the Arabian Sea at Marine Drive. Take a ferry to Elephanta Island to discover this UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Kailasa Temple at Ellora Caves

Other Places To Visit in India

All of the destinations listed above are our recommended places for solo travel in India but there are so many more destinations to visit here. 

One of the most beautiful and crazy things to do in India is witness millions of glow worms at the Fireflies Festival in Purushwadi, held in May until June. This is definitely an unique thing to see when traveling solo in India. 

Other places to visit when you tour India are the Ellora Caves, one of the best places to visit in India for Buddhist caves. Located in Maharashtra’s Aurangabad region, these 24 stunning monastery caves are a UNESCO World Heritage Site and consist of Buddhist, Hindu and Jain caves. The Golden Temple called the Sri Harmandir Sahib is also one of the things to see in India. It is one of the most spiritual sites in the country and a place of pilgrimage for Sikhs. It is called ‘The Golden Temple’ as it is made from gold.

Himachal Pradesh along the border with Tibet in the Himalayas for its Tibetan influence and Buddhist monasteries and temples. And Tamil Nadu a state in Southern India and home to the city of Chennai, known for its colonial fort and beaches. This region is famous for its Dravidian-style Hindu temples.

This is just a sliver of what awaits you when you embark on a self-discovery tour to India. A truly dedicated traveler could spend her whole life exploring the subcontinent and still touch only a fraction of it. Whatever region you decide to travel to India solo, you’ll come away enchanted, changed, and glad you undertook the adventure!

G Adventures India

If you are feeling apprehensive about travelling solo or unsure of India trip planning it yourself, sometimes taking a tour for part or all of your trip can give you the confidence you need before travelling India alone. I have personally used G Adventures a nd recommend them as a solo female friendly company.  Most tours have an average of 10 people and there is no upper age limit. Once you book your trip you pay extra for any excursions you want to do when you’re there.

G Adventures India tours range from a 3 day Varanasi Independent Adventure to a 33 day Kolkata to Kochi by Rail tour, seeing the best of India. One of their most popular tours for solos is the 15 day Rajasthan Adventure which includes the Taj Mahal, a visit to the City Palace in Udaipur, and a sunset camel ride in Pushkar. If you have 21 days, they also offer a 3 week tour of India from the north to the south.

Intrepid Travel India

Intrepid Travel is similar to G Adventures with an average of 12 people on each tour. Over 50% of people who book their trips are solo travellers. They tend to use hotels instead of hostels for their tours and have a more comfortable style of accommodation hence the trips can appear a bit more than G Adventures. Their Intrepid India tour packages range from 8 days exploring India’s Golden Triangle to 22 days travelling through the north of the country seeing Delhi, Agra, Varanasi, Jaipur and many others.

What I love about Intrepid is that they now offer solo group travel India on a female-led expedition through Rajasthan, where you can meet women from the villages and learn about their struggles and take part in a women-only celebration called Gangaur Festival. With both tour companies you share a room with someone of the same gender or you can pay extra for your own room. Read our  Intrepid Travel Reviews

You’ll find all types of accommodation in India for every kind of solo. Whether you prefer international hotels, lodges, or homestays. If you are on a budget then consider a dharamshala – a hostel which is used by pilgrims and often with a religious connotation.

Be prepared that cheap accommodation India does mean budget. You may get a mattress on the floor with barely a ceiling fan so maybe go for the next level up if you want something cleaner and more comfortable. You could find yourself paying extra for a mosquito net too. The standard of hygiene in India may not be what you’re used to so look at a room before agreeing to take it if you arrive somewhere without planned accommodation.

City accommodation is more expensive than staying in local villages and you may find yourself paying over the odds for a beach resort so look for hostels which are becoming more common for others backpacking India alone. In places such as Kerala or Goa you can stay in heritage-style boutique hotels, homestays or even on a converted rice barge.

It’s also not uncommon to see former palaces or forts opening their doors to guests. For a more sustainable stay choose from an ecolodge or farm stay for part or all of your trip. There are also options for camping but you may feel more comfortable in other accommodation. Another type of accommodation is overnight trains where you can reach long distances as you sleep.

Whether you want to stay in a colonial tea house in Coorg or a five star hotel with a sea view in Mumbai, the accommodation in India is very varied. If you prefer to stay with a local then consider Airbnb where you can rent a room or even the entire house/apartment during your stay. Save $20 off your first stay with this Airbnb link

Getting around in India on Indian transportation is an experience in itself. India is vast, and travelling around India can eat up huge portions of your time. Internal flights are the best way to travel in India for longer legs. Be sure to travel by train at least once during your trip – doing so is a rite of a passage for travelers in India and a tourist attraction in itself. It is one of the best transportation in India for a true cultural experience. Don’t miss it!

For longer journeys, book at least a sleeper car (and a better berth if you can afford it). You can find air-conditioned first class on the long distance trains which are either a 2 or 4 berth carriage, or opt for air conditioned second class (called AC2) which is cheaper and often used by local families.

Bring a padlock and chain to secure your bags overnight, and keep valuables on your person. Tickets can go quickly during holiday seasons so plan accordingly. Train stations in most major cities will have a dedicated tourist desk.

If you are taking the train in India you may find that the Indian railways station has a private room that you can rent overnight which includes a bed and bathroom. If you feel comfortable staying here before catching a train early in the morning then it’s a cheap way of resting for the night. Seat61 is a good resource for how to get around in India by train. 

Bus travel in India is another form of transport in India. When you're solo traveling in India book a tourist bus, especially for longer journeys, for both safety and for comfort. If you are on a budget, sleeper buses can be the best way to travel in India to save on overnight accommodation.

Tuk-tuks and auto rickshaws are a fun way to travel within cities. Set a price with your driver beforehand, or get ready to barter until you’re hoarse once you arrive at your destination.

If you’re exploring a lot of destinations in the country, the best way to get around India is by flying internally. Air India is the country’s national carrier.

The best transport in India for women – For the solo traveler in India who might feel wary of taking the train or bus, India has a few taxi services operated exclusively by women for women. Womencabs and Go Pink Cabs appear to be the biggest companies and are ideal for India solo travel. You can also use “OLA” cabs to get around and “Jugnoo” autos for select cities. They have apps and are easy to use.

(For more information on why so many women-only cab services have been popping up as India transportation, and who the women entrepreneurs behind this phenomenon are refer to this article .)

As India is so vast, you may prefer taking flights when travelling alone in India, especially if you are apprehensive about taking a train. There are too many airports in India to cover in this article but this to and from the airport guide gives details of transport from each one.

You may feel more comfortable as a solo traveller India with transport waiting for you at the airport. Hoppa operates a cheap airport shuttle that will take you from various city airports to your hotel.

How long do you need when travelling India solo? Three weeks is the minimum you’ll need to see India – and you won’t see very much in this amount of time. Everything in India tends to takes longer than expected, so don’t rush yourself. Two months will give you enough time to explore either the north or the south. If you want to see the whole country, give yourself at least six months.

Travelling Onwards (check visas before you travel)

When you're travelling to India, you may want to extend your trip and include one or more of the neighbouring countries on your solo holiday to India. If you're considering Nepal, Bhutan or Bangladesh, below are ways to cross into the countries overland. 

To Nepal – Travel by train to Gorakhpur then take a local bus or travel to Sunauli from Varanasi on a daily bus. Daily buses run from Patna and Kolkata from Raxaul or take the Mithila express train from Kolkata. Another popular crossing is at Jumunaha in Uttar Pradesh.

To Bhutan – A direct bus runs on some evenings from Kolkata to Phuentsholing. You can also take the train from Siliguri via Alipurduar to the border.

To Bangladesh – There are daily buses from Kolkata to Dhaka, then cross the border at Benapol. From Agartala cross to Arkhuara. Trains then take you to Dhaka. From Siliguri in West Bengal take a private bus 2 hours to Jalpaiguri then change at Chengrabandha for the border.

To Pakistan – Crossing into Pakistan is not recommended.

Where can I fly from here?

• Nepal – 2 hours
• Sri Lanka – 2.5 hours
• Thailand – 7 hours

Vulnerable Girls in India

• Human trafficking in India is an issue affecting mainly women and girls. It is deeply rooted in Indian culture and, for centuries, it has been one of the major problems the country has been facing. Read more here…
• Early marriage or sex work are two of the many reasons why nearly two thirds of adolescent girls in India drop out of school. With little formal education at their hands it is difficult to get out of these undesirable situations. Read more here…
• Periods are considered shameful in many countries, especially in India. Having limited or no access to period products can result into girls needing to skip school days. Watch here…  
• Child Marriage in India: Teenage Girls Forced to Marry. Watch here….  

Can I drink the water? No, buy bottled with sealed tops instead.

Should you get tips in India? Leave a small tip after eating in a restaurant. If you have hired a guide or a driver for multiple days, tip accordingly. Some hotels have “tip boxes” at their front desks, and leaving a tip in such a box is much appreciated but not required.

When traveling by tuk-tuk or taxi, if you have agreed on a price with the driver in advance, no tip is necessary. Don’t feel guilty shooing away anyone pestering you for an unearned or undeserved tip – you will probably find yourself doing so frequently!

Fixed price or barter? Bartering is appropriate and expected at markets and less-expensive hostels and hotels. Expect fixed prices at restaurants and upscale hotels. Often, fixed-price shops will have a sign informing you of the fact that bartering is off-limits.

Any ATMs? ATMs exist in tourist areas. However, be sure to arrive with at least a little bit of cash, as most transactions require it, and you cannot count on your border-crossing point to have an ATM (even if it is an airport).

Which side of the road do they drive?  On the left-hand side.

Good for vegetarians? India is a vegetarian’s idea of paradise. Many of the country’s religions mandate vegetarianism, and you will find an abundance of delicious vegetarian dishes everywhere you travel.

Any seven wonders of the world?  Taj Mahal in Agra.

Before you visit India, check the political situation before leaving home, as conditions can change rapidly in India. As mentioned before, travel with others in order to avoid unwanted male attention. Finally, you will encounter extreme poverty in India.

If you really want to make a difference, donating your time or money to a worthy charity will likely go further than giving small handouts to beggars.

First off I love your blog, absolutely fab! I am planning on travelling around India for a month or two next year and just wondered, you said the north is better for solo female travellers does this mean the south is more dangerous or is just some areas? what areas in the south would you recommend for me, thanks 🙂

Hi Ariel, thanks for your comments. I have only been to a few areas in India so I would suggest joining our Girls about the Globe Facebook group to ask their advice. We have some girls who live in India in the group 🙂 Here is the link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/369115206621307/

Hi Ariel, thanks for your kind words 🙂 I would join our FB group as I haven’t been to the south of India. We have some girls living in India in the group. https://www.facebook.com/groups/369115206621307/

Hi, I live in southern part of India and I find this safer compared to the north(Considering that there are lower crime rates here comparitively). However, it is better one dresses conservatively and carry a pepper spray. Barring few hooligans, as a whole the country is hospitable and welcoming. Have a great trip:)

Thanks Rashmini 🙂

Hi… South is much safer compared to North. Our whole country is welcoming and it is our tradition to treat Guests as God. Also to feel safe avoid short dresses. Enjoy your trip. If you need any place recommendation i would be happy to help. Enjoy your stay.

Hello, I welcome you to India. India is very good place to visit during winter (Oct – Feb). As far as safety is concern Mumbai, Gujrat, Rajasthan, and even Southern India is very Safe. Also If you are planning to visit Delhi or NCR, Try to comeback hotel by 8 PM.

12 Spring Celebrations Around the World

Spring celebrations marking the end of winter.

J ust when you're wondering if winter might last forever, the frost begins to thaw. Spring, full of green shoots and colorful flowers, is on its way! In the Northern Hemisphere, we celebrate the first day of spring on the vernal equinox. This year, it falls on March 19. Cultures around the globe have different spring celebrations for welcoming the new season, from festivals to parades—many of which we share below!

So read on for some unique spring traditions seen around the globe. India, Slovakia, Bulgaria and Thailand have their own special spring activities, including different ways to celebrate Easter (with Good Friday and Palm Sunday happening days before). There's the "festival of love" in India and a gathering at Stonehenge in England. And did you know about the annual White House Easter Egg Roll? If not, you'll be surprised by what you learn below!

Get  Reader’s Digest ’s  Read Up newsletter  for more holiday tips, fun facts, humor, cleaning, travel and tech all week long.

Holi (India)

If you've ever seen photos of men and women dancing beneath clouds of colorful powder, you've probably seen pictures of Holi. This Indian spring festival, sometimes called the "festival of love," takes place just before the turn of the seasons. It brings entire communities together for one giant party. A bonfire is lit before the festival, then the rest of the spring celebration is spent dancing and playing with water and colorful powders. It is an explosion of joy and color.

Old Easter traditions (Slovakia)

Easter is always celebrated near the beginning of the spring season, and Slovak children take a decidedly active approach to this holiday's festivities. School-age boys braid together willow branches (and sometimes ribbons) to make decorative "whips," which they use to chase their sisters or female friends on Easter Monday. The boys often walk to their female friends' houses with the willows and cups of water so that they can chase the girls they like, then splash them playfully. Tradition dictates that girls reward the boys with gifts of chocolate and painted eggs—but in modern times, this is followed only by families with a good sense of humor. This spring celebration is certainly outdated, but children across the country still participate each year. Visit Slovakia's capital, Bratislava, during springtime to enjoy one of the most affordable European capital cities.

Songkran Water Festival (Thailand)

Thailand's national New Year's celebration occurs shortly after the spring equinox. Revelers all over the islands and cities celebrate by throwing water everywhere and on everyone. Because it's such great fun, the Songkran Water Festival has become a popular tourist attraction. Splashing around with friends and strangers, from resident Buddhist monks to first-time visitors, seems to bring out everyone's inner child. Loud music and dance parties in the street are the cherry on top.

Nowruz (Central Asia)

On the first full day of spring, Central Asian communities around the world celebrate Nowruz. Though the festival is rooted in Iranian and Zoroastrian tradition, it has spread across several cultures over the past few centuries. It's a massive celebration—as CN N says, "Think Christmas, New Year's and Fourth of July combined." Nowruz means "new day" in Persian, and it is the kickoff to one full month of extravagant spring celebrations. If you attend a Nowruz celebration, don't miss the beginning, when revelers jump over bonfires to signify the start of the festivities.

Baba Marta Day (Bulgaria)

Bulgarians acknowledge springtime before it even arrives. On March 1, they celebrate Baba Marta Day (translation: "Grandma March Day"), where they exchange Martenitsi , red-and-white twined bracelets and decorations. Bulgarians wear the bracelets or pin the decorations to their clothes in anticipation of the change of season. Martenitsi symbolize health and happiness and are considered lucky charms against evil spirits. (See? Sharing spring quotes and jokes aren't the only ways to wish someone well for the new season.)

Whenever people see the first stork in the sky or blossom on a fruit tree—usually around the first day of spring—they take off the Martenitsi and tie them to the blooming branch. As flowers unfurl and springtime begins, you can see red-and-white strings tied up in gardens and parks all across Bulgaria.

Teotihuacán ritual (Mexico)

Add Mexico to your list of travel destinations for spring break , but skip Cancun and head straight to Teotihuacán. Imagine thousands of people, all dressed alike, welcoming the season with their hands held high. Every year, tourists travel to the Teotihuacán Pyramid to do just that. Dressed in white, they gather at the base, raise their arms to the sky and welcome the sunshine and energy of springtime. Some even climb hundreds of steps to the top so that they can be a little closer to the sun. This ritual is mimicked across several ancient sites in Mexico, though the Teotihuacán Pyramid is the most accessible to visitors coming from nearby Mexico City.

Easter egg roll (United States)

After Good Friday , it's time to celebrate Easter, which occurs after the first day of spring. But it doesn't quite feel like spring in Washington, D.C., until the annual White House Easter Egg Roll. This spring tradition dates back to 1878, according to the National Park Service. That's when a gaggle of brave schoolchildren walked right up to the White House lawn and asked to play egg-rolling games there. Fortunately for them, President Rutherford B. Hayes agreed. The egg-rolling competitions have since expanded into a full garden party, complete with cookie and egg decorating and strolling along the tulip-studded gardens.

Spring feasts (Uzbekistan)

Uzbeks also celebrate Nowruz, but they put their own spin on it. To celebrate spring and new growth, they prepare sumalak , a wheat-bran pudding meant to reinvigorate people's bodies after the chill and stagnation of winter. According to Atlas Obscura , the long cooking process brings people together to celebrate friendship and community. Wheat is placed into water, where it eventually sprouts. Then it can be crushed to make a paste, which is mixed and cooked with other ingredients for hours. The final product is served warm with tea and savored by families and friends as they celebrate the beginning of a new season.

Sunrise ceremony (England)

Each year, pagans, druids and assorted revelers from around the world gather at Stonehenge in England for the first day of spring. They meet for a sunrise ceremony at one of the most ancient sites in the world. Because pagans honor nature and the cycle of the seasons, the March gathering isn't the only annual celebration at Stonehenge. Ceremonies are also held for the summer and winter solstices, as well as for the autumnal equinox . Participants often dress in pagan costumes—men in light-colored robes and women with flowers in their hair—for this simple celebration of the seasonal shift.

Shunbun no Hi ( Japan)

The spring equinox is a national holiday in Japan that goes by the name Shunbun no Hi. Workers enjoy a day of rest, and children stay home to celebrate with their families. As the HuffPost reports, "traditionally, Shunbun no Hi is preceded and precluded by the three days of higan, the Buddhist celebration of 'the other shore,' in which families come together to honor ancestors who have crossed over to the next stages of life." During higan, families clean loved ones' gravestones and leave behind offerings of rice dumplings. After honoring the past on higan, they get an opportunity to look ahead to the future and commune with nature on Shunbun no Hi.

Cimburijada (Bosnia)

At the beginning of spring, Bosnians in the town of Zenica celebrate Cimburijada, which means "the festival of scrambled eggs." Residents of the city gather together around giant pots of the breakfast food. They break bread—and eggs—together in the park and in picnic spots by the river. What could possibly be better than joining your friends and family for breakfast on one of the first warm days of the year? It's a simple and delicious welcome to spring.

Sunrise watching (Cambodia)

Angkor Wat in Cambodia is known as one of the largest, most beautiful temples in the world. It is also nearly 1,000 years old. But did you know that it was built specifically to align with the spring equinox? The 400-acre temple complex is built so that visitors standing on one specific southern causeway will see the sunrise directly over the temple's central tower on the first day of spring. This creates a beautiful photo opportunity each year.

Qingming Festival (China)

The Qingming Festival, also known as Tomb Sweeping Day, is meant to mark the change of the seasons while honoring ancestors. It will be held on April 4 this year, a few weeks after the first official day of spring. During this spring celebration, Chinese families clean and decorate their ancestors' tombs. Some people also burn incense or light firecrackers at the graves. But this holiday isn't all about death and solemnity. Families also light beautiful lanterns at night and fly kites to enjoy the sunshine and crisp spring weather.

People travel to Oklahoma for eclipse from as far as Australia and India

IDABEL, Okla. ( KSLA /Gray News) — People from all parts of the globe came to the southeast Oklahoma town of Idabel to experience the Great American Eclipse’s path of totality.

Retired science teacher and eclipse expert Glenn Hughes, of Sydney, Australia, was originally planning to watch from Dallas, but came to Idabel at the last minute due to the fog.

“It’s going to be mind blowing. It’s like someone goes, ‘Bang!’, and the lights turn off. The cars will have to turn their headlights on, streetlights are going to come on, and if it’s cloudy, it’s going to be even darker than usual,” Hughes, who’s seen eight eclipses in his lifetime, said before Monday’s event.

He’s been interested in eclipses since he was 8 years old in Australia.

“You have to wait to see it if you’ve never seen one. It’s just amazing how the lights go out,” Hughes added.

Hughes’ grandsons, Freddy and Zack Beck, also of Sydney, Australia, were with him.

“A long journey. There was quite a bit of panic in the car from Dallas, where we were visiting our grandparents,” Freddy Beck said.

“I’m looking forward to when it’s totality,” Zach Beck said.

One man came to Idabel from India, via San Diego and Dallas.

“I’m from a farmer’s family, and the ranches and the houses are so beautiful here,” he remarked. “My daughter was asking me to purchase something!”

He said he has seen both solar and lunar eclipses throughout his lifetime.

“The total atmosphere is totally enchanted by this eclipse. So many cars, and families and small children. And there are very big binoculars and machinery they’re using to cover the eclipse,” he said. “This is very encouraging to me, also. I have taken a few clips and I’m going to show the eclipse to my friends so that they can also get encouragement.”

Malin, another visitor from India, landed in Dallas on Sunday, but wound up in Idabel. He’s seen many eclipses across the world and gathered information on this one for eight years.

“I am expecting people literally cheering. They go crazy,” Malin said.

“The temperature drops at least 10 to 15 degrees Fahrenheit. I have seen it. It drops. Birds start chirping, going back to the nest, something like that.”
