If you are a heritage lover, legacy, culture and magnificent archaeological sites enthral you. Your sojourn will be incomplete without taking a stroll at old discovered ruins, capturing the essence of emperors' grandeur palaces and learning about the UNESCO World Heritage sites. The beautiful caves, monuments, and sculptures will be your picturesque stoppage on every excursion. Digging into the stories of ancient villages, temples, rulers' dynasties and their battles will give you a back-walk into history.
When you are planning a trip under Rs. 20,000 that does not break the glass ceiling and your bank balance, then we suggest that you plan early and plan smart. An unplanned getaway will not only disturb the monthly expenditure but will affect your trip once you are at the location. Try to book the commute and hotel in advance. It won't hurt to check the general price list of the activities you wish to take part in.
October is the time when the world is gearing up for the festivities and you are looking for options to make your festival season all the more fun. So, why not go off-beat with a trip to some isolated island or mountains to feel the freshness of the approaching winters (or summers, depending on the hemisphere).
Any beautiful site that requires nature conservation, preservation of traditions and human-made structures and has universal value, makes for a perfect heritage destination.
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.
Most of the Indian cities experience pleasant weather in October. Autumn is at its peak this month. As a result, the weather is neither too hot nor too cold. October is also the month of festivities. All these make the season apt for planning your vacation.
