The Best Way to Travel on a Budget

Posted on | March 9, 2010 | No Comments

Well you won’t be traveling to Monaco and staying at a five star resort on a budget, will you? Maybe so!  Mostly, traveling on a budget means finding the cheapest price for the experience you want.

When traveling on a budget it’s best to keep in mind the following points:

1. Travel in the off-peak seasons. You can save up to as much as fifty per cent off air flights and accommodation costs if you plan to travel in low season times.

2. Stay away from popular tourist spots (unless they are on your ‘must-see’ list). If you can go off the beaten track with your destinations, things can be cheaper to see and do and your cultural experiences will be richer.

3. Try camping. Not only is it the cheapest form of accommodation it’s a great way to get up close and personal to nature. It’s the best way to see National Parks and Heritage listed areas. 

4. Look for special travel offers (or packages). But make sure you check everything that they include – and don’t include.

5. Invest in a travel pass where you are able. Most developed countries have a rail or bus transport system where you can obtain day, week or monthly passes that will get you around cheaply.  Read more...

I become quite excited when I think about Travel to Asia. It is world’s biggest continent with highest population. Hence, an amazing mix of culture and tradition is an obvious and inevitable element of Asia. With amalgamation various countries and its specialty – India, land of tradition; China, legacy of dragon; Singapore, city of light; Angkor, way of Hinduism – Travel to Asia is one of the most lavish experiences of life.

Every country in Asia is a continent in itself due to the vastness and variety it offers. Hence, it is quite impossible for a person to travel around Asia in a single trip. So, your tour can be essentially divided into three parts: South East Asia, Indian Sub Continent, and Asia Pacific.

South East Asia – While you Travel to Asia, it’s quite impossible to ignore the bunch of countries that comprise ‘South East Asia’. This part includes countries like Laos, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, and Singapore.

Bollywood’s Own Stars and Sights: Mumbai Travel Information

Posted on | March 2, 2010 | No Comments

Situated on the Arabian Sea, at the very western edge of India’s subcontinent, lies the country’s most populous and prosperous metropolis. Mumbai, formerly Bombay until 1995, is a massive island city bursting with life at every turn. Mumbai is home to the Hindi film and television industry, also known as Bollywood, and offers hundreds of movie houses including the largest IMAX dome in Asia.

Travelers to Mumbai may find themselves struck by the incredible disparity in wealth and lifestyle among the island’s inhabitants; however, most travelers will also notice a general friendly cheer during their daily excursions. Almost all of Mumbai’s population is not native to the island, which creates an eclectic mix of ethnicities, beliefs, cuisine and culture that has encouraged acceptance among most of the people.

Mumbai from the Outside

Mumbai has one of the most heavily traveled ports in India, making the large Bombay metropolis India’s commercial and financial capital. Visit the spectacular Gateway of India, the magnificent basalt structure built for King George V and Queen Mary in 1911 that greets nearly all travelers arriving in Mumbai by boat.
