Who knew that on the farther side of the great Mount Everest lies a beautiful country that has quite a number of tourist attractions? In case you’re wondering, we’re talking about India, the home of spices and herbs. India is known for its rich cultural diversity, tasty food, and spices, but that does not put India on the map. It is also known for its hospitality to tourists. There are so many fascinating places that are also embedded in history and culture.
Here, we get to view this country through the lens of a tourist.
Destination Selection: People commute every day to their workplaces, schools, or hospitals. There isn’t much difference between commuting and travelling. The only minor difference is that commuting refers to specific places, whereas the term travelling is just an umbrella term. Selecting a destination is key; this helps you to be more familiar with the environment or the sites you’ll be visiting. If one chooses to visit Shimla in December or early January, they should first research the weather conditions and the particulars that they should bring along with them.
Planning and Budgeting: Planning and budgeting ahead of time saves a lot of stress, as the saying goes “a stitch in time saves nine.” As much as selecting a destination is ideal, the means of how you are going to reach there is also twice as important. An illustration can be as follows, the year just begun and going to Shimla is on your bucket list, you can start by saving some money for your flight or a deposit for your accommodation.
After doing these two important things, everything else can follow.
Getting recommendations can also be a good start; for one to recommend, that means that they would have liked the place. Shimla is one of the places that is encompassed by the Himalayas. It is known for various historical buildings and handicrafts; the weather is breathtaking during winter and is most scenic during summer. Going to a place like this during winter would actually require you to carry warm and insulated clothes.
Here are some tips and tricks on what and what not to pack when travelling.
Packing and stacking :
- Passports should be with you all the time; we can’t picture an “airport-passport” mishap; your passport should be in your hand luggage 24/7.
- Your toiletries should be kept in a toiletry bag and in cargo luggage.
- Your luggage should either meet the criteria of the maximum weight or be less.
- Electronics should be kept in a different bag.
- Make sure that you have enough clothes and that your clothes correspond with the weather.
Airports do’s and don’ts:
- Do come on time for easy check-in.
- Do dress in a comfortable outfit.
- Do listen to announcements.
- Do not make noise in the airport.
- Do not say words related to ammunition like bomb, bullet or gun.
Having enough money to sustain you throughout the entire journey so that you can fully enjoy the experience, budgeting and planning is key. Not forgetting to have some extra money could go a long way because no one knows what fun activities you might like to try.
