Choosing Location

After setting a budget for your trip, research the location you must visit. Depending on the distance of the holiday destination from your home and its demand, the hotel, transport, and food prices may vary. Opt for a place where you can get more value for money. “Look into affordable and offbeat travel destinations,” says Singh.

Off-Season Travelling

Wise travellers avoid the festive rush and travel during the quiet times. Prioritise travelling off-season because everything during this low-demand period costs less than usual.
