On my way home, I met my friend on train.
I was curious to know where she was heading to, so I asked her
Where are you going to
I am not sure if it is correct to omit the preposition, to, by simply asking this instead
Where are you going
Please help me. I am suddenly confused with it.
Thank you.

Yes, that is perfectly fine if you just leave it out.
Both of the phrases are correct although the first is usually used when you know someone is going to a place and the second when you don't know if they are going to an actual place.
Example: Your friend mentions they are going out shopping, you ask "Where are you going to?".
Example 2: Your friend mentions they are just going out, you ask "Where are you going?"
