September hits the calender and you start making plans for the next year. And as easy as the phrase 'work-life' balance sounds, it's equally hard to achieve. As you have been working hard and save a lot this year, we suggest that you spend some bucks and time in September on your travel plans and create memories for life.
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.
Explore the local market, have delicious meals at dhabas and try some street food. Soak in the sun and enjoy the panoramic views. Spend leisurely time at a touristy place, which is free of entry charges.
Though September offers pleasant weather, it is an offseason, that means massive discounts on flights and hotels as well as lesser crowds.
