Five Budget Destinations You Should Plan For In 2018

It is time to end drooling over #TravelGoals #Wanderlust images that your friends are posting. There are places out there that won’t make your pockets scream and you can still manage to ace your Instagram game. We give you list of 5 destinations that you wouldn’t exactly consider vacation spots.

The orange city, as its famously known, is not just about oranges. Nagpur gives you access to some of the best trekking trails, and one of the spiciest cuisines in India. If trekking is your thing, then head to the beautiful Waki Woods for bird-watching, boating, and living in tents by the water. Capture gorgeous sunrise and sunset while walking through the woods. And ,if gastronomic travelling is more your agenda, try the Saoji cuisine across the city. The mutton curry with piping hot rotis is to die for. Make sure to get your tickets here.

A city wedged between the hilly Western Ghats and the beautiful beaches of Arabian Sea, Mangalore is travellers paradise. You can be a mountain person or a beach person, this city will not disappoint you. But if you are a serious beach person, you need to go to Panambur Beach at least once. Beautiful blue waters, rocky beach, dolphins against a sunny horizon and water sports is what you can experience at this beach. For the foodie in you, Mangalore offers everything fish and rice. We recommend Neer Dosas that you can have for lunch with Bangude Pulimunchi or for breakfast with sweet coconut milk {Indian pancakes yo!} Budget flight tickets are available here.

No no no, not the iconic temple, we are talking about the city. There is so much more to see than just the usual here. If you are an archeological or geology enthusiast than Silothoranam is your heaven. A naturally formed rock arch that has too many mythological theories associated with it. A vacation that will turn into storytelling because the entire city is peppered with gems like these. And to get your #foodporn images, head to any local eatery for that perfect meal on a banana leaf. Get the best fare on flying right here.

The cultural capital of Andhra Pradesh, Rajahmundry is where you would go for a spiritual vacation. On the banks of Godavari is where you would achieve inner peace. The banks of Rajahmundry are also host to Pushkar Mela that happens across 12 other destinations in India. When that stomach rumbles head to any Udupi restaurant in the city. They are easy on your pockets and so delicious. With a budget trip comes budget flying, get your tickets here.

The city of Nizams has everything amazing to offer. There are iconic monuments like the Qutb Shahi Tombs, Charminar, Falaknuma Palace and so much more. The city feels like it is still living in the Nizami era with the same delicious food. Yes, the Hyderabadi biryani is obvious but try the haleem that you will find in the bylanes of the city. It is a stew made over 12 hours with broken wheat, meat and spices, epic! Getting to Hyderabad is easy too with cheap flying fares. Check them here.
