To plan a trip on a budget under Rs. 10,000 is a hard nut to crack, but nothing can beat the power of a pre-planned and pre-booked vacation. When you are travelling on a budget, there are few things to keep at the top of your head while you make the bookings. For instance, you should keep a track of things like the commute, accommodation, food and activities you will be taking part in. Just carry along a small notepad to plan your expenses throughout the trip. If there is a friend that can tag along and wants to chip-in great.

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.
