To plan a trip on a budget under Rs. 10,000 is a hard nut to crack, but nothing can beat the power of a pre-planned and pre-booked vacation. When you are travelling on a budget, there are few things to keep at the top of your head while you make the bookings. For instance, you should keep a track of things like the commute, accommodation, food and activities you will be taking part in. Just carry along a small notepad to plan your expenses throughout the trip. If there is a friend that can tag along and wants to chip-in great.
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.
While travelling on a budget, you can track your expenses by keeping a journal or using an expense tracker app. You can set a daily target budget. Haggling when it comes to shopping saves loads of money! Accommodation, where you can prepare your meals, is a way to save money. Always travel with someone who is on a similar budget so that you don't get carried away by the splurging of your travel buddies.
Manali, Gulmarg, Shimla, Nainital, Kasol, Srinagar, Kodaikanalar, Mussoorie, McLeodganj, Chopta, Kalimpong, Pelling, Shillong, Mahabaleshwar and Munnar are undoubtedly the best destinations for you to add on your bucket list to discover hills.
