If you are planning a moderately low budget of around Rs. 20,000 for a tour, look for short getaway options. However, you definitely need to pre-pan to avoid last moment booking hikes. Make sure to keep a tab of all expenditures and make all your bookings in advance – right from travel, to stay, to activities. Stick to low budget restaurants or local foods and local markets to stay within your budget limits.
Travelling within your country is always a great option before moving out to an international destination. You get to save on a lot of budget most of the times and also save on a lot of travelling time. Also, you don’t need to worry much about the food, the climate or the culture. And India being the land of heritages, history, culture and geography will never fail to suprise you with its charm.
September hits the calender and you start making plans for the next year. And as easy as the phrase 'work-life' balance sounds, it's equally hard to achieve. As you have been working hard and save a lot this year, we suggest that you spend some bucks and time in September on your travel plans and create memories for life.
Leather jackets, thermals, gloves, leg warmers, socks, comfortable walking shoes, lip balm/sunscreen/lotion, wind-cheaters, sweaters/pullovers, mufflers, woollen socks, earmuffs, backpack, umbrella, camera and most importantly a first-aid kit are the best things to pack whilst travelling to the hills.
A lot can be done with a budget of Rs. 20,000! Decent hotels, cool homestays and rustic BnBs can easily fit into this budget. Instead of tourist places, you can explore the destination like a local by visiting local bazaars, cafes, restaurants, streets, etc. Take a shared cab or public transportation to save money. Spend time in nature and take leisurely walks instead of visiting expensive places.
