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.
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.
