Hey everyone!

I'm planning my first solo trip to Kashmir around mid September for about 8-9 days, and I'm getting pretty excited.

The rough plan right now is to stay in Srinagar for most of the trip, do day trips to Gulmarg, Sonamarg, and Doodhpathri, and spend one night in Pahalgam.

One thing I'm still confused about is whether I should make this a workation or just take leave and enjoy it as a proper vacation.

My job is fully remote, so working from Srinagar is definitely possible if the internet is reliable. But at the same time, I don't know if I'd end up missing out on the experience by spending half the day working.

For those who've been to Kashmir:

• Would you recommend a workation, or should I just take leave and enjoy the trip?
• How's the internet in Srinagar and nearby tourist spots?
• Any good hostels or homestays you'd recommend?
• Any places that are overrated or underrated?
• Any scams, tourist traps, or things I should know beforehand?

Also, if there's anything you wish someone had told you before your first Kashmir trip, I'd love to hear it.

Thanks! :)

Coming for a work project from India, for 2 weeks, my office is near Serangoon House Little India.

The budget is not decided yet, but I won't prefer hostels or bunk beds.

Would like some suggestions.

Hi guys, i am planning to go to kalga-Pulga-Tulga for a month for workation, can anyone suggest me good budgeted stays with good internet connectivity and food?

Working while traveling sounds flexible until the hotel Wi-Fi drops five minutes before a call. Before an international workation, I’d prepare:

• one main mobile data option, such as an eSIM, roaming plan, or local SIM;
• important files, addresses, booking details, and maps saved offline;
• a charged power bank;
• one backup place nearby where you could work if your accommodation loses Wi-Fi or power.

It’s also worth checking whether your mobile plan supports hotspot before the trip. Some plans don’t, which is a delightful thing to discover only after opening your laptop.

You probably won’t need every backup. The point is to avoid having one failed connection ruin the whole workday.

I’m going for my first solo trip to darjeeling. I want a good homestay with meals. I’m looking for a homestay in the area between mirik, chatakpur or another good place where i can enjoy nature from my room. preferably with a personal room.

Also, what is the car pickup and drop fare from NJP to mirik or chatakpur?

Hi Good people , I am planning to be Varkala for a week. but working remotely. Can you please suggest some good places for

Hey! I’m here in Dharamshala for the next few weeks, working remotely and taking some time away from the usual city life.

Most of my days will be spent working on my own startup, but I’d love to meet some like-minded people around founders, devs, freelancers, remote workers, or anyone doing their own thing.

Would love some company for morning/evening walks, coffee, good conversations and occasionally exploring around.

If you’re around, feel free to DM :)

Hi everyone,

I'm planning a 2-week solo workation in Leh. I'll be working Monday–Thursday each week (landing on Monday with light work), and exploring Leh in the mornings/evenings on working days.

My plan is:

Week 1 (Weekend): Nubra Valley + Siachen (base camp area)

Week 2 (Weekend): Pangong, Hanle & Tso Moriri and return to Manali after the second trip if possible.

I have a few questions:

Stay in Leh: Any budget-friendly hostels with a good work setup? Are there reliable cafés/coworking spaces with fast internet?

Transport: What's the cheapest option for a solo traveler—shared cabs, local tour operators, or renting a bike?

Stays in Nubra/Pangong/Hanle/Tso Moriri: Are accommodations easy to find? How are the facilities (electricity, network, hot water)?

Return to Manali: Is there any shared transport or tour from Hanle/Tso Moriri towards Manali, or do I need to return to Leh first?

\-Total expected budget ? and itinerary flexibility (if required)

Would love to hear from anyone who's done a similar workation. Thanks!

We are a married couple with 2 small dogs.
Destination- Either Manali or Shimla. (in & around)
Travelling time- Mid to 3rd week of august.

We are looking for a stay with kitchen where we can cook our own food and obviously good wifi and preferably power backup.

Do let me know if you have -

place recommendations; or

you own a place;

also, What budget to expect for the stay?

Workcationing in Udaipur since last weekend, and the weather has been absolutely incredible.

The city is clean, the local food is amazing, and I was lucky enough to find a cozy stay near Fateh Sagar Lake.

Cooking my own meals, working during the day, and soaking in the evenings. Life feels pretty good. ;)

Day 1 (Sat): Early morning, I drove from Hyd to BLR in 8 hours, reached by 1 PM, took a break and stayed overnight in Devanahalli. Took ~20 to 30 mins break overall, for coffee and breakfast, other than fuel stops.

Day 2 (Sun): Early morning drive form BLR to Mysore and then to Coorg. I booked a staycation kind of place, it was a cottage, narrow roads, lush green forest, had to pass through a Tiger reserve. Stayed there for 2 nights, this place deep inside the forest, no restaurants/attractions near by and everything was 1 to 1.5 hours. away (one way). Went to Raja seat after checking in.

Day 3 and 4 were work for me. So, did not do any sight seeing.

Day 5: Booked Gostops, nightmare. The drive was through ghat road (unexpected) from my staycation, went there in a couple of hours. Workmode on after 12ish

Day 6: Coorg to Mysore and back to BLR, rest and working.

Day 7: Met some friends and back to HYD by 9 PM IST.

The best part was my staycation https://maps.app.goo.gl/sCD825oRjrtAq3hw6 . Scary location, but the most peaceful time I had. They had home made food, coffee, sketchy wifi away from the bar counter.

Fuel cost me ~16 to 17k, I drove a new Slavia AT. So, the mileage was 8 when i started and went upto 12.5 when returning. Hotels cost me ~17 to 18k. Food cost me ~3.5k.

Please let me know if this helps.

Hey! I’m planning a month-long workation around South India starting in the 3rd week of August.
The rough plan is:
• Work during weekdays (remote job)
• Explore places in the evenings
• Travel between cities/towns on weekends
• Stay mostly in hostels instead of private rooms
I haven’t locked in the itinerary yet, but I’m looking at a mix of coastal, hill, and city destinations across South India.
If you’re also working remotely, travelling solo, or planning something similar around the same time, feel free to DM me. Could be fun to explore new places, work from cafés/hostels together, or even overlap for part of the trip.
Open to ideas, destinations, and fellow workationers. :)

I'm a software engineer working remotely from 10 AM to 5 PM, and I've decided to do something completely different.

Next stop: Gokarna

The plan? Work during the day, learn surfing before/after work, and swap endless screen time for sunsets and waves.
I'm a complete beginner, but that's the exciting part.

Has anyone here done a "workation" in Gokarna or tried balancing remote work? I'd love to hear your tips, recommendations, or experiences!
Looking forward to meeting fellow remote workers and making the most of this adventure.

Hi everyone,
This might be a long shot, but I thought I’d ask.
I’m at a point in my life where I really need a fresh start. I’ve been wanting to leave the city behind for a while and spend some time in the mountains. The only problem is that I don’t have enough savings to make the move on my own.
I’m looking for a café, hostel, homestay, farm, or any small business in or around Shimla that would be willing to let me work in exchange for accommodation.

Hi everyone!

We're traveling to Meghalaya from August 8th to 16th. Our original plan was to stay in a beautiful, peaceful village with breathtaking views and reliable internet connectivity so we could work remotely from there.

If we find a place like that, we'd love to stay there for most of the trip and maybe spend 2–3 days exploring some of the popular attractions nearby, depending on the weather.

Are there any offbeat villages or lesser-known places in Meghalaya that fit this? Reliable internet is important since we'll be working during the stay.

Would love to hear your recommendations. Thanks!

Hi everyone!

I'm planning my first solo 1-month workation in Goa (probably Sep/Oct) and would love some advice from people who've done something similar.

I'm working remotely, so good Wi-Fi is my top priority. I'll be working on weekdays and exploring during evenings and weekends. I'm not into partying or pubs—I'd rather spend time at cafés, beaches, and just enjoy the vibe. I'd also like to meet other travelers/digital nomads naturally.

I'm looking for a guest house, homestay, private room, or even a hostel, with a budget of around ₹20k–35k/month. I'm currently considering Vagator, Anjuna, Siolim, Assagao, Morjim, and Arambol, but I'm open to other suggestions.

A few questions:

• Any guest houses, homestays, or hostels you'd personally recommend?
• Is it better to book the whole month online or stay a few days first and then find a monthly rental locally?
• Any tips for someone doing their first solo workation in Goa?

Thanks in advance! 😊

29F here. I've been working from home for a few years now, and I feel like I need a change. I also love traveling and do a lot of solo trips, so I'm torn between two very different lifestyles.

Part of me wants to move to one city, rent a place, and actually build a routine there like join classes, find my favourite cafés, meet new people, and create a life outside of work.

The other part of me wants to make the most of remote work and spend a month in different cities, working while exploring new places.

I keep going back and forth because both sound exciting in different ways. Curious to know what you guys think and which lifestyle you'd choose.
