We’re sure you’d agree with us that travelling is one of the most liberating feelings ever. And nothing spells freedom like a solo or an all-girls trip! At times you need to explore the road less travelled on your own, or with new people, other than your family and friends. So, if you too are looking for new experiences and travel companions, then here are 7 women-only travel groups that will make that girls’ trip happen!
1. The Wander Girls
The Wander Girls group organises women-only trips and events. They also organise tour packages and trip planning services for International women’s groups and solo women travellers that travel to India. From girls in their teens that go with their moms, to the young at heart women in their 70’s, they have clients from all walks of life!
We got in touch with their founder to know more about their safety measures. This is what she had to say, “As a women’s tour operator, we make sure to choose hotels, villas, and stays in safe locations. Before each trip, we send out checklists with tips on essentials for each trip. On the trip, our tour in-charge ensures that the trip goes smoothly for all our participants. We also ensure that our participants are clear on cultural differences, at various destinations as well as the dress code, if any. With all these checks and balances in place, our trips have been safe and hassle-free for our participants.”

2. Women On Wanderlust – The WOW Club
The WOW club came up with the concept of Women-Only travel about 14 summers ago. Now they make over 150 trips a year with women between the age groups of 25-65 from varied professional backgrounds.
There are WOW Buddies present on each trip to ensure that the holiday experience is the best and memorable for all the travellers.
If you’re looking for short & quick trips like a food trail in Goa, rafting in Rishikesh or a weekend in Bali, they organise those as well. WOW has 5 to 6 Signature trips annually which these personally accompanied by WOW Founder Sumitra Senapaty. The Woman On Wanderlust is a sisterhood wherein women have their freedom and personal space to themselves. Sounds exhilarating, right?

5. Wonderful World
Wonderful World goes against trends to create truly offbeat journeys that fuel your wanderlust. With them, every trip is an intimate, unforgettable experience personalised just for you and a small group of like-minded travellers. They aim to help women travel, evolve and transform in a safe and fun manner. They have a wide spectrum of travellers, “The youngest girl who has travelled with us was 23 years old and the oldest 78“.
When we asked them the purpose of a women-only travel group, they said “Women’s only groups – enable women to venture out on their own. It allows women to embark on a journey of discovery, adventure and fun, even when hubby, papa, bhaiya or boyfriend are not game. Besides, More and more women are single for longer. Also, they have higher disposable incomes and the ability to make their own choices. Women’s only travel groups are a great enabler”
