Mountains and hills are mind-boggling serene locations to go for tranquillity and live in restful surroundings. Waking up to the panoramic views, snow-covered slopes and admiring lush greenery are the beautiful offerings that a hillock would have for you in-store. Have a picnic on the picturesque cliff watching the sunset and surrender yourself to nature; indulge in activities like trekking, camping and river rafting to rejuvenate yourself. Come back home with a refreshed mind to get back to your daily routine.
Travelling under a budget of Rs. 20,000 offers you benefits like staying cool homestays and countryside BnBs as they are pocket-friendly accommodations. Opting for shared public transports, taking a stroll at the city market and interacting with locals connects you with the people of that city, and helps you learn about their culture. Visit monuments, temples and attractions which are free of entry charges. Cherish mouth-watering signature dishes at Dhabas and let your taste buds enjoy the new flavours and make most of your trip.
If you are on a budget but still want to have the best of both worlds, then a travel within your country is the best option to opt for this holiday season. A true traveller does not bother about all things fancy, bright and shiny; they are only in for it for experiences. India is a country oozing with good looks, good foods and good vibes. Ranging from colourful landscapes and breathtaking sights to hospitality and mouthwatering delicacies, India is a perfect destination for any travel plan. With so many regional and ancient art forms, India will never disappoint the impulsive shopper inside you.
May is the month for you to plan that long due vacation that you have been delaying. Cherish some time away from daily hustle with your loved ones and make lovely memories by heading towards your most awaited destination.
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.
India's top tourist destinations are Goa, Uttarakhand, Kerala, Rajasthan, South India, Himachal Pradesh, Andaman, Kashmir and North East.
