Crossing borders alone as a solo woman — what's the most stressful land border you've done and what do you wish you'd known? I'm planning an India-Nepal land border crossing at Sunauli and everything I read makes it sound manageable but chaotic. The 2026 GRRRLTRAVELER guide specifically recommends telling someone your exact border crossing plan — entry point, time, which side you're being picked up on. Has anyone done a land border crossing solo in South or Southeast Asia recently? What actually happens at the chaotic ones and is there a time of day or approach that makes it significantly less stressful?
