Hills and mountains are a second home to every person who loves being surrounded by nature, walking under hovering clouds, listening to the gushing water or watching flora and fauna in their natural habitat. Whether you are a mountain or a beach person, the experience you get when you are amidst blooming starry sky, hugged by the chilling breeze, listening to the birds sing odes to nature is like no other.
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.
April is the month of the year when you are eyeing an appraisal or an annual bonus. So why not celebrate the little achievements with a much awaited trip? Pack your bags and get going.
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.
The best Indian destinations for April include Leh Ladakh, Auli, Darjeeling, Meghalaya, Maharashtra and Himachal Pradesh. International destinations include Cuba, Greece, Switzerland, Netherlands, Spain, Texas, Rome, Florida and Bali.
