Day 1

In life there are few things that you learn with experience. Well i did learn a few and have implemented it and work absolutely fine.

1. Did you know there is a train rule from 6 am to 9 pm, in the reserved compartments people can occomodate to other passangers in the compartment. So that means you can directly buy the tickets at the train station just before heading onto the train. Last minute planning is hassle free with this oppurtunity.
Example: I had to travel from allepy to kochi and i was looking for busses or taxis, then i saw the train going to kochi in 1 hour and reached the train station. Then at the counter the lady explained me how it works and that how i travelled in 3 tier AC for just 120 rs. For a 2 hourjourney.

2. We always face the problem of travelling in flight with minimum luggage. Especially if we are staying for a long time. So i started using the laundry service in hotels or asked the local iron man to iron my clothes. So basically i carry enough number of clothers mix and match them and wear them accordingly. Why waste 1000's on luggage instead of 100's on local iron man.

3. Budget travel is the most difficult thing. We need to look at cheapest hotels or hostels. But did you ever see the advantage in this process. So just imagine I am in kovalam, kerala. I just booked a normal hotels which provides basic necesities like bed and bathroom. So this means, I will not at all be interested in stayingin the hotel in my free time. This means i will stay outside more. Means more wandering. Get to know the local life. As the hotel doesnot provide any food, i will trying out new local food. Yup. Too much advantage.

4. Always keep a budget for a day. I always keep a budget for the day. If i save money for the day i add it up to the next day. So if i add up till the last day, if i have enough money, then i pamper myself on the last day. What better way to travel and pamper.

5. Want to know go on a trek in the mountains but donot have the appropriate attire. I know everyone faces this problem and not sure to buy these costly stuff for just 1 time because we never know the after effects, we might or not go back. So the best option is rent stuff. The most easiest simplest process. Not only clothes, but even gadgets too. Its more relevent to rent in your own city or with the tour operators your are going than going directly to the base camp and getting a hole in the pocket.

I hope you like the hacks. If possible do try. They actually work.
