Travelling on a budget of Rs. 10,000 can be very cost-effective if you plan the trip smartly in advance. Starting with booking an accommodation under right tariff, set a daily limit for expenditure, rent a bicycle to explore the city, relish on local cuisine, and shop at the local market to get things at a lesser charge. Keep a handy notepad to track expenses to spend under the limit. So, now you know you don't need to spend a fortune to have a funfilled vacation.
August is the time for you to check out that holiday list on your calendar and plan a getaway from the mundane ‘stuck-up-in-the-traffic’ life. If work is hectic and you cannot plan a long vacation, look for staycations, weekend getaways or short trips that can keep you sane.
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.
Apart from the pleasant rain showers, August offers excellent travel discounts, fantastic weather, lovely views and lesser crowds.
