Whenever I have tried to leave my house for a solo trip without telling my parents the possible reasons that I gave was
1. Friend marriage
2. Study tour
Etc

You can never convince them.... Wait till you get a job, and then travel on the basis of fake conferences or project trainings. If you go now breaking their trust, then trust, this may be your first and last trip...

Start with short trips..one day or one night types to prove you are capable of taking care of yourself. Parents worry for us especially for girls. Your short trips will mitigate their concerns. Then you can start taking longer trips. You can also consider taking a couple of trips with friends first n then move onto solo trips. Keep trying they will let you go your way one day.

Hey pallavi firstly never lie to your parents. If they ever find out it might be your last trip. So try the next best thing. Try to convince your parents. If you are wondering how to do that let me list out 1) Introduce your parents to your friends on the trip. Invite them over to your house
2)Explain them clearly about the trip and ensure them itl be safe
3)show your parents the stuff your are taking
4)Make a pocket friendly budget Do all these when you find a good time to talk to your parents. Theyl surely agree because all they want is for you to be happy.

Lie to begin with and once you travel enough you will never feel the need to take permission and they will eventually understand. But definitely tell ur whereabouts to frens whom u trust in case of any emergency

Hey pallavi, specially most of indian parents don't allow their daughter to go for solo travel but it doesn't mean girls can't go for solo trip first you have to build trust second tell you parents which place you are planning to go, they ll check out the environment of that place how safe it is for girls, third one just tell them you ll call them every day. So these are best ideas from my side.

Ok, This is a very common thing in India where Travelling is regarded as wastage of time and money. I can tell my way of convincing my parents is that I never tried to convince them but its my duty to tell me where I am and what I am planning/ doing -: "Once I reach the destination, then Call and Tell them where I am and what are the places I must be going..So, its just like telling them after trip is ON.. and if you are SOLO traveler and trekking alone like me : make sure you tell your friends and share live locations with them ;) and if you are going with friends point 1 is enough "

Same here. My mom always puts questions whenever I want to travel solo. But I live away from home, so I usually avoid telling, though its not good.

Are you employed ? If yes and you have a source of income then simply don't tell your parents. Sometimes its better not to explain, because may it be parents or anyone else everyone understands what they want to and the way they want to.

Hi Pallavi, it's your life and you don't have to live it with any regrets. Basically they will be worried about your safety. There are two ways of handling it. If you don't want to lie, then you will have to give them a lot of confidence that you will stay safe and keep them posted about your trip maybe every four hours or so. Book your stay in a good place which is in the center of the location you wanna travel. Tell them your plan for the trip and the itinerary. If it's first time, keep the trip duration short. If being true is not helping you get their permissions, then you may have to lie that you are going with a friend of yours who will join you there from another place or you are going on an official tour or a study tour. But most importantly don't keep any regrets :)

If you want permission for Goa, ask permission for Thailand, obviously they wont permit!
Start negotiating with little drama and compromise for them and settle for Goa!!

Lying to them would be an easy option... But through out your trip you would be worried on have they come to know? Have you lied properly etc and ruin your first solo experience. Tell them why you want to travel alone go through a trusted and safe travel advisor so that they know you are safe. Talking it out always helps. Worse case take one family member with you and be incharge of the trip so that next time you ask for a solo trip they will trust your decision. All the best
