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.
At around Rs. 30, 000 you can actually look at planning a fairly lavish vacation with 2-3 star hotels, some fun-filled activities, moderately budgeted restaurants and bar with relishing delicacies, and commuting by flights. You can still travel by a train to save on to some amount which you can happily use up for shopping at the tourist markets. Pre-planning and pre-booking is still recommended to avoid any unplanned over expenditure.
When it's January, who doesn’t want to start the year on a fresh note? You are all set to kick-start an awesome new year if you are vacaying with family and friends exploring new places and fun activities.
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 can cover international destinations like Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan, Taiwan and Thailand under a budget of Rs. 30,000. In India, you can plan a trip to Kerala, Goa, Gokarna, Assam, Sikkim, Nagaland and Pondicherry in the same budget.
The best destinations for January include Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Manipur, Gujarat, Andaman & Nicobar Islands and Goa. All these destinations have a pleasant winter climate.
