Seven easy steps to plan a vacation Trip
- Decide where to go– Whether you want to select from a range of packages we have on our website, which include tour packages from Bangalore, tour packages from Chennai, or choose an International destination like Singapore, Thailand, or Dubai, you will have loads of fun in each of them.
So check with your spouse and other family members, look at the budget and make your choice judiciously. Keep your work schedule in mind, and apply for leaves in advance to avoid any last minute disappointments. If you have the flexibility of working from any location, you can even think about a workcation.
- Things to keep in mind while packing for a vacation– Since there are restrictions for luggage weight in airlines, you need to use that judiciously. If you are visiting a beach, don’t forget to carry multiple bathing suits, sunscreen lotions, sunglasses and hats.
Always carry extra doses of medicines which you take regularly and a regular first-aid kit which will include medicines for influenza, fever, upset stomach etc. In other countries, the names of manufacturers might be different and you might have to run to pharmacies and hospitals to find what you are looking for.
- Pick a time to travel– Before selecting the time for travel, check online about the weather conditions in that city. If it rains heavily during the time you are planning to go, you will end up spending most time inside the hotel room and your entire vacation will be spoiled.
If you cannot tolerate extreme cold, hot or humidity, you need to check for those factors too and select the months which the travel guides suggest as the ideal ones to visit that place. If the ideal months clash with your children’s exams, or important work related commitments, then you might have to look for other destinations.
Once you have frozen the dates, check the travel websites for the packages like 6 days 5 nights, 4 days 3 nights etc. according to+9 your preference and budget and start with a rough estimation of the budget you will need for the entire family.

If you are selecting to travel in the off-peak season, you will get good discounts in the hotel prices and prices of all theme parks and other places of interest too might charge lesser entry fees. If you need to save money, that will be a good idea.
The period between the peak and off-peak seasons is known as the “shoulder season,” and it is an excellent time to reap the rewards of both. - Decide the duration of your trip– Plan the total duration of your trip and if you are visiting multiple locations, break down the itinerary and plan it in advance. This will help you to book the hotels and flights properly and you will have enough time to explore each location. There is no point in including multiple destinations in one trip and not getting to see all the important places there, or getting to do things with other travellers.
- Budget consciously for your trip– Call your credit card companies in advance to let them know that you will be using your cards in other foreign locations.
