Hi, I would suggest you book a hotel with airport pick up service, I know many places in Delhi do this. I think I'm paying 450 rs which is a little more than normal, but at least you know there should be no hassle getting there.

I second this.But from 5 am i guess its preety safe.

In My Humble Opinion,Travel alone than in bad company.

Hope you get a good travel partner .

That's something I am considering too. Traveling alone, I'm too worried about to be honest.

Loads of people, including many females travel to India alone. I've always found India to be a very social place to travel. You will meet other people for sure.

My last trip of 5 months to India was alone, and I think I spent 3 days all up where I was by myself.

If you want to meet up with other people and you haven't arranged a travel buddy, get tourist quota on the trains, they often bunch tourists together on trains, otherwise you meet other people waiting for buses, at guesthouses, at restaurants, at yoga classes.

You will probably be by yourself while you stay in the first major city you land in, but I've always met people to travel with for a while by the 2nd or 3rd destination, lots of other people are also looking for company for a while in India.
