Come back home with a refreshed mind to get back to your daily routine.
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.

You can explore the unexplored beauty of the mountains or learn about century-old ancient art. Go out on a shopping spree or maybe tickle your taste buds with regional cuisines.
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 don't need to spend a fortune to enjoy a trip. It doesn't cost much to spend a leisurely day at a beach. You can visit a natural attraction which is free of entry charges. Rather than a touristy bazaar, go to a local market to get stuff at lower prices.
