Budgeting tips to Save money on your post-lockdown travel

This pandemic has canceled, postponed and thrown water on most of our travel plans from a while now. We all are want to pack our bags and go on a vacation for a change from the same everydays we been having and only the excessive work or studies filling our days.

We cant travel right now. We shouldn’t. But we can make advance bookings for travel after you get vaccinated or once the situation is better. Booking right now for later makes just makes financial sense as prices are lower than ever and we aren’t just talking about flights, hotels and packages too. Traveling post lockdown will be a different experience than before the pandemic. We have already been habituated to things like wearing a mask, maintaining a safe distance from other people, getting our temperature checked at airports and train stations, and even getting tested. This might be the norm for a while

This pandemic has also affected many of us financially and luckily traveling in India is possible even on a low budget. Post lockdown when venturing out on nature trails beaches or getting some fresh air, you may want to plan and budget your trip. Check out these tips to save on your post-lockdown travel plans
