What’s your best tip for budget travel?

It is a misconception that, travel requires huge budget and it is always heavy on your wallet. There are various options for budget travel, which you can choose & fit your travel plans into your wallet.
While there are lucrative options like, famous travel companies eg. Thomas Cook or Keasri Tours etc., you can always choose to pack your bag and travel according to your own itinerary. There are pros & cons of self arranged travels like you get freedom to choose the places of interest, plan your itinerary at ease but there are some disadvantages also like chance of overcharging by the hotels, missing out on timely bookings etc.
Best Options for Budget Travel
- Plan your own itinerary. You can take help of AI tools like ChatGPT or Google Gemini AI to make your travel plan. Remember while making the travel plan to keep some buffer time while travelling to unknown places. At the same time do not make time bound sight seeing schedule which makes you fully exhausted.
- Opt for Home Stay or Airbnb. Now a days, most of the tourist spots have the facility of Home Stay or Airbnb. These are most economical options. Make proper home work before you choose one. Look for the area/location of home stay, availability of Pantry and Kitchenette, close to public transport facility.
- Check for the Pets and the senior citizen friendly place. Discuss openly with the owner for the requirement so that there is no confusion after your check in. Always check the reviews of the owners before booking confirmation.
- Sight Seeing in a City on Foot. Visit the tourist attractions using public transport and a brief walk. This will give you a chance to experience local people and the city vibe. There is so much fun in walking across the city. I have seen two famous cities on my foot, Paris and Prague. The beautiful monuments and famous places of these cities can be better exxplored by walking across.
- As far as possible try local food at famous local joints. This will help you to understand the local culture and the taste of the people. There is always a story behind the famous food joint of any city which is always interesting for a stranger.
- Complete your home work before you finalsie. You can get all sorts of information from Google about a place. You can always check the reviews or see the photographs and then decide or choose a place for visit.
Such travel will give you immense satisfaction of self booked holidays and the comfort of sight seeing at your own pace.
