I've been to lots of European destinations solo, but am hesitant to go it alone in Delhi. Should I find a guide immediately upon arrivel and latch onto him as if my life depended on it? As a female, I wonder if I am about to embark on a huge mistake.

I have been to Delhi several times, it is not that scary as it seems. Just make sure you have everything planned. If you do need any guidance with the plan.. feel free to email/contact me. I have quite a few friends in Delhi who might be able to help you too. Look at the following website for hotels in Delhi. http://www.delhi-hotel.net/ You could get a lot of help/guidance from the hotels once you check in there too. Just pick a Good rated hotel and there are great chances you may find a travel partner too. Varanasi is more like a religious center.. very old city..I will look around and see if I can find anybody to help you in Varanasi too. Wish you a safe and wonderful journey.
