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.
If you are planning a moderately low budget of around Rs. 20,000 for a tour, look for short getaway options. However, you definitely need to pre-pan to avoid last moment booking hikes. Make sure to keep a tab of all expenditures and make all your bookings in advance – right from travel, to stay, to activities. Stick to low budget restaurants or local foods and local markets to stay within your budget limits.
December is the capital of holiday season, and Santa is here to fulfil your wishes. He knows you have been good all year! It is Christmas time and time to jingle all the way to live your travel dreams. Don't shy away to make a travel wish - Santa is listening!
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.
A lot can be done with a budget of Rs. 20,000! Decent hotels, cool homestays and rustic BnBs can easily fit into this budget. Instead of tourist places, you can explore the destination like a local by visiting local bazaars, cafes, restaurants, streets, etc. Take a shared cab or public transportation to save money. Spend time in nature and take leisurely walks instead of visiting expensive places.
December marks the peak of winter in India. It is also the month of festivities and school vacations. So one can plan either solo and family trip in December. Since snowing starts in November, the weather in December becomes chilly in the mountains. Snow lovers can visit places like Shimla, Manali, Kasauli, Dharamshala, and many other tourist spots in Uttarakhand like Nainital, Auli, and other places. If you are someone who does not like winter much, the South Indian states can be your ideal picks in winter. The weather in Mumbai is pretty awesome in December, so one can plan a holiday in Mumbai as well.
