Planning your first solo trip to Southeast Asia or the Middle East? Whether you’re a digital nomad, budget backpacker, or corporate professional taking a personal break, our solo travel guides help you navigate Asia’s most popular destinations with confidence.
Comprehensive solo travel resources covering safety tips, budget planning, accommodation recommendations, visa processes, and destination-specific guides. Born from real solo travel experiences across Thailand, Vietnam, Dubai, Malaysia, Singapore, and beyond, these guides address the practical challenges and unexpected joys of travelling independently through Asia.
Our solo travel guides span major Asian destinations: Thailand (Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket, Krabi, Pattaya), Vietnam (Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Hoi An, Da Nang), Dubai (UAE), Singapore, Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Langkawi), Bali, Hong Kong, and more. Each guide includes budget breakdowns, safety tips for solo travellers, local transport navigation, and hidden gems beyond typical tourist routes.
These aren’t generic travel blogs—they’re written by someone who has lived them. Our guides include honest budget breakdowns (actual costs, not estimates), safety warnings specific to solo Indian travellers, language cards for common situations, emergency contact lists, and real scam examples to watch for. We cover both the Instagram-worthy highlights and the unglamorous realities nobody talks about.

Whether you’re planning a weekend getaway or a six-month sabbatical, these guides help you travel solo without feeling alone.
Before Mast Yatri became a corporate travel company, it started with solo backpacking trips across Asia. These guides represent years of on-ground experience—the mistakes made, lessons learned, and discoveries that only happen when you travel alone. This firsthand knowledge now informs our premium corporate travel planning, but we maintain these solo travel resources to help independent travellers experience Asia authentically.
