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.
May is the perfect time to plan your summer break. Why not hit your favourite holiday destination before it gets jam-packed and crowded? Make the best out of this time to surprise your family and friends with an unplanned outdoor vacation.
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.
Make your booking at least 3 months before your travel date to avail the best deals on flights and hotels. Sign up for city tours and food walks in advance to avoid last-minute charges. You can appreciate staying at cool places and eat at popular restaurants if you plan your itinerary much in advance.
