Explore Hills & Mountains places in August within a budget of Rs. 20000

Mountains and hills are mind-boggling serene locations to go for tranquillity and live in restful surroundings. Waking up to the panoramic views, snow-covered slopes and admiring lush greenery are the beautiful offerings that a hillock would have for you in-store. Have a picnic on the picturesque cliff watching the sunset and surrender yourself to nature; indulge in activities like trekking, camping and river rafting to rejuvenate yourself. Come back home with a refreshed mind to get back to your daily routine.

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.

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.
