One of the major reasons that stop you from travelling to your dream destinations could be the expense that comes along with it. However, if you're smart enough while planning the trip, you can travel to those places at a pocket-friendly budget. Let's take a look of some of the ways to reduce travel expenses and efficiently plan the trip!
1. Avoid Travelling During Peak Season
Travelling to popular destinations during the 'best time to visit' is a NO if you're looking for a budget-friendly travel. The accommodation and the travel expenses would be higher during these seasons. Do ensure that you don't visit any place during festive seasons like Diwali, Holi, etc.
2. Book Your Flights Well Ahead
If you're planning to visit a place that demands air travel, it is always better to plan it well in advance. You can save a lot on your flight tickets this way.
3. Check Out the Time of the Flights
It's not just the dates of the air journey that matters, even the time of your travel has a role to play when it comes to the cost of the tickets. Choose tickets that are not during late night or early morning, which are generally expensive than day travel.
4. Go For a Tour Package
Instead of going to an unknown city and trying to explore it your own, you can try any of the reliable tour operators available. You may avail exciting offers along with hotel/flight tickets too, which may fetch you upto 30% discount on the rates.
5. Trains are Economic
If you're travelling a distance not too far, it's better to opt for a train rather than spending all the money on flight tickets. There are trains run by Indian Railways that are exclusively for tourists, taking you to major cities at reasonable fares.
6. Reduce The Cost of Food
If you choose to stay at a hotel where extra amount is charged for food, your travel expenses are likely to increase. Go for a decent hotel where the rent also covers the food, so that you don't have to spend on food outside.
7. Avoid Cities
Life is cities is expensive compared to villages. Since rural tourism is gaining popularity, you should give a shot visiting some such places where you can stay away from the crowd, enjoy the place without being heavy on the pocket.
