The new year brings new hopes for everyone. Leaving behind the tiredness and hustle and bustle of last year, people want to spend the first day of the New Year at some quiet and special place. Whether with friends or family, most people plan short trips of two to three days. From snow-capped mountains to lush green valleys, the popularity of tourist destinations always increases on New Year.
However, due to increasing crowd and inflation, it is important to keep some important things in mind while planning a trip. Proper planning can make your vacation enjoyable, while a small mistake can make the entire trip stressful.
Booking trains, flights and hotels becomes quite challenging during the New Year. Due to frequent holidays and heavy crowds, tickets sell out quickly. Therefore, it is better to book transport and hotels in advance as soon as you decide on your travel destination.
Booking at least two to three weeks in advance can help you get a fair price and a good location. Booking at the last minute not only leads to higher expenses, but sometimes hotels are found far away or transport is not available. So, the sooner you plan, the better.
In winter, there is a huge crowd of tourists in states like Himachal, Uttarakhand and Jammu and Kashmir. Everyone likes cold weather, but sometimes extreme cold can cause trouble. Children and the elderly are especially at risk of cold or fever.
If you want to spend time peacefully, choose a place where there is less crowd. There are many hill stations which are beautiful as well as less crowded. Get information about the weather in advance so that sudden problems can be avoided.
Often people book hotels after seeing pictures online, but the situation may be different when they actually reach there. Lack of cleanliness, security issues and staff behavior sometimes spoil the fun of holidays.
Therefore, be sure to read reviews of a hotel before booking it. Pay attention to ratings to save both time and money. Similarly, by watching travel blogs or videos of the place you are going to visit, know whether the place is suitable for you or not.
A right budget makes your trip balanced. Before travelling, decide how much you want to spend. Estimate hotels, transportation, local travel, dining, tour tickets, shopping, and emergency funds.
Fixing the budget prevents unnecessary expenditure and prevents any kind of problem during the journey. If money is planned in advance, the journey remains light and relaxed.
