Wonder which are the most visited tourist destinations? Yes! The mountains and the hills ofcourse because of their tranquility, scenery, flora and fauna, soothing climatic conditions, and much more. Their adventurous activities, chilling river streams or lakes and picturesque views can transform your mind into the most peaceful state. The aura of the mountains have the power to confine you in their serenity forever.
At around Rs. 30, 000 you can actually look at planning a fairly lavish vacation with 2-3 star hotels, some fun-filled activities, moderately budgeted restaurants and bar with relishing delicacies, and commuting by flights. You can still travel by a train to save on to some amount which you can happily use up for shopping at the tourist markets. Pre-planning and pre-booking is still recommended to avoid any unplanned over expenditure.
By August, you have spent almost the entire year on the roads in the bustling traffic and noisy horns. Why not take a break from the frenetic schedule and hit the road, but this time with a travel plan.
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.
You can cover international destinations like Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan, Taiwan and Thailand under a budget of Rs. 30,000. In India, you can plan a trip to Kerala, Goa, Gokarna, Assam, Sikkim, Nagaland and Pondicherry in the same budget.
Apart from the pleasant rain showers, August offers excellent travel discounts, fantastic weather, lovely views and lesser crowds.
