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.
You have been saving all year for an extravagant trip under Rs. 50,000. Go ahead and book- the sky is the limit. Depending on how long your stay will be, opt for luxury and panache. Book a 4-5 star hotel that has the best bed and breakfast, room service, swimming pool and a piece of heaven too. Plan your days accordingly as you have the luxury to choose the activities once you are at the location. Don't hesitate to sit back and relax in an over-priced spa for a relaxing massage because you have earned it.
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.
Many things can be done under a budget of Rs. 50,000, you can hire a tour guide for sightseeing, opt for gourmet dining and go for multiple activities.
Apart from the pleasant rain showers, August offers excellent travel discounts, fantastic weather, lovely views and lesser crowds.
