A visit to a pilgrim is an evolving journey in itself. People from around the globe of all faiths make a pilgrimage, often to a shrine or place of significance, to experience spiritual enlightenment and understanding of the universe. A pilgrimage is far from exclusively for religious inducement. People make pilgrimages to understand the gravitas of that place, self-discovery, to embrace the ancient art and architecture, meet new people and make memories, and to enjoy local ambience and food.
If you are planning a moderately low budget of around Rs. 20,000 for a tour, look for short getaway options. However, you definitely need to pre-pan to avoid last moment booking hikes. Make sure to keep a tab of all expenditures and make all your bookings in advance – right from travel, to stay, to activities. Stick to low budget restaurants or local foods and local markets to stay within your budget limits.
December has a definite holiday vibe. It's the time when you should choose where to head for Christmas and New Years. Say yes to a delightful pleasant time and make your bookings now to that unknown region.
Shirdi, Tirupati, Rameswaram, Somnath, Dwarka, Vaishno Devi, Puri, Amritsar, Mathura and Varanasi are the best destinations for a pilgrimage trip.
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.
December marks the peak of winter in India. It is also the month of festivities and school vacations. So one can plan either solo and family trip in December. Since snowing starts in November, the weather in December becomes chilly in the mountains. Snow lovers can visit places like Shimla, Manali, Kasauli, Dharamshala, and many other tourist spots in Uttarakhand like Nainital, Auli, and other places. If you are someone who does not like winter much, the South Indian states can be your ideal picks in winter.
