“As a solo traveler in Hyderabad, I found that hostels with movie nights were a lifesaver for meeting people without feeling awkward. I stayed near Malakpet, and after a day exploring Charminar, it was great to just chill in the lounge. Someone would always suggest a film, and suddenly you're all sharing a laugh, talking about your travels. It felt safe and welcoming, and I didn't have to worry about navigating the city at night just to find something to do.”
