When you are planning a trip under Rs. 20,000 that does not break the glass ceiling and your bank balance, then we suggest that you plan early and plan smart. An unplanned getaway will not only disturb the monthly expenditure but will affect your trip once you are at the location. Try to book the commute and hotel in advance. It won't hurt to check the general price list of the activities you wish to take part in.
July means half of the year has gone with a blink of an eye. We know the year has been tough on you and your travel plans. Don't lose hope, you can still make it. Why not treat yourself with a mid-year travel appraisal and enter the second half of the year with a blast?
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.

Spend time in nature and take leisurely walks instead of visiting expensive places.
