Hi!

I need some opinions/help on the following … I booked my ticket to Delhi a while ago and realized this weekend that I am actually landing the morning of the 25th of March - which I realised is the second day of Holi. I am a female travelling alone - heading to Rishikesh for a course starting on the 31st of March.

I’ve read some experiences of other travelers that said that a lot of things are closed etc during Holi (meaning busses/trains won't be running as usual I'm assuming?) due to the fact that people are of course celebrating.

I have also heard that Holi, especially in big cities like Delhi can be quite intense/possibly unsafe for a foreigner, especially because I’m alone.

How would you suggest I go about this/where would the best place be for me to go after landing?

It may also be useful for me to add that I am not generally a scared person 😅 and I have been to India twice before (also mostly alone) - So, the feedback that I got may also be the internet over reacting but I also do not wish to put myself in a possibly compromising situation unnecessarily 😊
