Travel fills your soul.
Everyone
in their life, must have travelled some place, either solo or with their
family. Even if they haven’t travel, still they a time. Don’t miss the essence
of travel. The one who loves to travel, can tell you how it fills the soul of a
person. Although it purely depends on person to person, how much they enjoy it.
Unless you physically explore a place, you will never be able to know how a
city welcomes you with its open board arms.
Well
if you have already planned for a trip, but you are not sure, where you want to
travel, the below tips will surely help you to narrow down your long list of
destination to one or from a confusion mind to a clear one.
1.
MINDSET- Start
Preparing Your Mind
Well, none of us are born voyager. So,
it’s obvious if you are planning for a destination, you need to set your mind
first. Calmly sit to one place and decide why you want to travel? Do you really
want to utilize your holidays in visiting a place and exploring it or you want
to lethargically spend your day at home? It’s really very important to prepare
your mind to get ready for a travel.
2. BUDGET-
Check Your Pocket
I
hope you all will agree with this point. Agreed?
Once
you set your mind, check your budget. How much you want to spend? Here the main
point is, suppose your budget is 50K, so you need to select a place which can
be freely cover within 30K. Always leave some amount extra in your budget.
Because you never know, where you need to spend money. So whatever your budget
is, you have to select a destination which is less than your budget.
3.
DESTINATION- Where You
Want to Go?
Everyone has their own favourite choice. Some
likes mountains, some like sea and some like the beauty of dessert and landscape.
You need to be very clear with your destination. If you are travelling for the
first time and you are not sure which one can be your favourite destination,
read the beauties of the destination below: -
·
MOUNTAINS:-
“ Mountains are the
beginning and end of all natural scenery.”
This line is rightly said by John Ruskin. One
can’t explain the beauty of mountains just writing it on a paper. To feel it,
you need to see it from your own eyes. From our childhood, we always wanted to
fly like a fairy and wanted to touch the clouds and play with it. Your
childhood dream can be fulfilled if you visit any hilly areas. Just think
yourself in a place where you can feel the clouds, you can see the bright sun
shining, which seems to be asking you to express your all emotions inside.
·
SEA/BEACHES
I
remembered from my childhood, I always wanted to see the HORIZON, where the sky
and sea seems to touch each other. When I saw it for the first time, I was
totally mesmerized with the beauty of the nature. That shining blue sky and
that deep green water, seems to be kissing each other making a perfect couple
of this earth. Who won’t miss this beauty?
If
you really wanted to lost in the beauty of sea, its wave, its sound, you must
visit any beach / sea area and just tune yourself with the beat of waves.
·
LANDSCAPE/DESERT
Desert
has its own specialty. Just feel the change in weather during day and night.
Take a ride on camel and see the never-ending desert from your own eyes. If
you love architecture and wanted to lost in the old golden era, plan for a city
which has historical artifacts.
4. NEW OR OLD DESTINATION-
Capture Old Memories or New Memories?
Old
memories always give you some nostalgic feelings. So Guys…Decide it now…
Whether you want to feel nostalgic or wanted to visit new place to capture new
memories?? So plan it accordingly. If you are visiting old destination with new
people, it can be a bonus for everyone, as you will be aware of all the
transport and scheduled program.
5. DURATION- How Long You
Want to Enjoy?
Next
thing which need to be checked is to plan for your number of days of vacation excluding travel days. Based on the
days, select the location. Suppose if you got 3 days off, plan to visit some nearby
place, where you can joy at least 2 days and 1 night. If the holidays are more,
you can plan for any place depending on your budget.
6. NUMBER OF PEOPLE- Want to Enjoy Solo or with Family/Friends?
Are
you going alone to explore the place with your own eyes or you want to capture
some sweet moments with your family. So make your plan according to the number
of people travelling.
7. PREPARATION LEVEL- On a Quick Go or Lavishly Spend the Time to Prepare?
Now
once you have decided your destination and the count of people, now you have to
plan so many things accordingly. For example, document completion like checking
for you and your family ID Card, whether they all have ID card or not. Research
about the place, for accommodation, food etc. So, there must be some time in
your hands before leaving for your destination. Sometimes UNPLANNED journey has
also its own essence. But if you are travelling for the first time, have some
days before hand to prepare your stuff.
8. CHECK FOR
DOCUMENTS- ID Card, Passport- All Set?
Now
this is the most important one to note. If you are travelling somewhere, carrying
documents is must. If you do your journey by train or flights, they always
check your ID card and if you are planning for abroad, you must have passport
in that case. So, if you haven’t applied for passport, please apply it. Even if
you have no plans of travelling, still be ready with your passport all the
time.
9. TYPE OF TRIP- Purpose to Visit the Place? What you love?
Now
are you looking for adventurous trip, where you wanted to face your own fear
and overcome it or just want to spend your holiday in relaxing in luxurious
place, or wanted to explore the culture of the place? You need to note it down
well and then select the destination accordingly. Pack your luggage
accordingly.
10. RESEARCH YOUR TRAVEL DESTINATION- Do Your Homework?
Now
once everything is set, research your travel destination well. How to reach
there (whether by bus/car, train or flight)? If you are travelling with family
make sure if everyone is comfort with the transport. Some people vomits during
travel in bus especially when they are travelling in hilly areas.
Check
for the weather too. Do you want to enjoy the off season or the perfect on season?
Even though off season has its own beauty, you can get every hotel, flight,
train tickets in a cheap rate and the places which you never dreamt of can be
visit. On the other hand, if you visit in on season, you can enjoy the weather
peacefully. So, the toss the coin and decide when to visit?
Now
if you are travelling abroad, make sure to well research about the currency
exchange rate. Which currency is accepted, or the currency exchange is
available for your currency or not? Also book your hotel in advance
Make
sure to do your research homework patiently and intelligently.
BONUS POINT:-
Always
search for a tourism scam before visiting any place. There are many place, which
makes fool to the tourist. So, prepare well for that.
At the end I would like to say, after reading this article, quickly
plan to visit some destination. Explore the world with your own eyes and also
prospect yourself with every visit.
