Traveling is all about self-discovery. It gives you a sense of freedom and rejuvenates your senses. Traveling is always fun with your family and friends as you can make so many wonderful memories.
India is a land of spectacular travel destinations. From Himachal Pradesh to Uttarakhand and Kashmir, so many awe-inspiring destinations will mesmerize you.
If you are planning a holiday to Himachal Pradesh, then you need to plan your holiday keeping in mind the lifestyle of Himachal Pradesh. For this, you need to know some quick travel hacks.
Become an Experienced Traveler with These 5 Hacks:
- Plan an off-season trip
Land of Himachal is known for its scenic views and snow activities. But, an off-season trip to the place will give you a new insight. If you want to experience the chilling winters of Himachal Pradesh, then you can book your trip in Jan or Feb. Most tourists visit Himachal during Nov or December.
For all the adventure fun activities, book a summer holiday package. Firstly, there won’t be a crowd at popular tourist places in the region. Secondly, you’ll get to visit the best places in Himachal. So, do plan an off-season trip to enjoy your tour.
- Travel light
Another important traveling hack is to travel light. You don’t need to stuff things that you don’t require. Keep your luggage light and pack stuff that is handy while traveling. There is nothing more frustrating than losing your valuables when you’re travelling. And when do they generally get lost? That is moving from one place to another.
You can always wear bulky jackets or winter coats while boarding a flight or traveling by train. One pair of hoodie with clothes should be enough for cold weather. Don’t carry extra gym wear or heavy clothes.
The lighter your bag, the more it’ll be easier for you to travel around. Be a smart packer and pack things that you need. Make a checklist before you pack your bag.
- Try street food and Homestays
Ditch the costly restaurants when you visit Himachal and have street food instead. Street food will not only give you an authentic taste of Himachali cuisine but it’ll also save your money.
When traveling, meals can add up quickly, so if you can eat breakfast at and cook a few gourmet dinners in your apartment rental, you can save big time. If possible, book homestays instead of hotels and resorts. Homestay experience will give you a complete insight into the lifestyle of Himachal Pradesh. You’ll also be able to enjoy local food flavors if you choose a homestay option.
- Download maps and important apps
There are some travelers out there who long for the ‘good old days’, when travel was a complete escape from the modern world. If you are not like them take every opportunity for technology to make life easier when on the road.
Apps have made our life much easier. When you travel to a new place, location maps are always handy in finding new destinations and spots. Before you travel to Himachal, download important apps, and keep your maps on.
Maps are always useful if you are traveling solo. You can set up Google maps in offline mode as well.
- Treasure your experience more than things
Traveling is all about experiencing the new. Always treasure your experience more than material things around. These moments will stay with you for a lifetime. Positively nurture your experience so that you feel good about it.
On a final note,
With the above smart hacks, your travel experience will simply be amazing. Become an experienced traveler and cherish your memories. Himachal is a beautiful place, so do dwell in the magic of the place.
