From the low-lying Kuttanad to the high-altitude Everest Base Camp in Nepal, Najira Noushad (Naaji Noushi), a 33-year-old homemaker, is on a 50-day solo hitchhiking journey to send out a message that India is a safe for women travelling alone.
Ms. Noushad, a native of Mahe, packed her bag and came to Mankombu in Kuttanad and began the journey to Nepal on February 9.
“I love to travel unaccompanied,” says Ms. Noushad. The mother of five reached Delhi hitchhiking, mostly taking rides on trucks, on Monday.
