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.
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.
September is the time for you to think what to do with all the travel savings from the last 3 quarters. Simple! Just plan a quick trip to a favorite destination and you are all set to bring in some life to the last quarter of 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.
Though September offers pleasant weather, it is an offseason, that means massive discounts on flights and hotels as well as lesser crowds.
