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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
