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.
January is the perfect time to plan your trip. Taking a trip to begin your New Year celebrations is a beautiful way to start your year. Exploring and experiencing new places and adventure can be exhilarating for a kick-start to the year.
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.
Travelling in January offers you the best of winter delights, shopping, sightseeing, food, etc. You can start your new year at an exotic destination and enjoy winter sports like ice skating.
