Cost-Saving Travel Tips When Choosing Uttarakhand Tour Packages

You do not necessarily need to stretch your budget to plan a 5-7 day trip to Uttarakhand. The following are some tips to make your Uttarakhand tour package a worthwhile experience on a budget.

  • Travel in the Off-Season

During peak season or holidays, when hotel and transportation expenses are high, avoid those times. Shoulder months are usually cheaper, and the crowds are less.

  • Book in Advance

The benefit of early reservations is often a lower hotel rate and a wider choice. At the last moment, plans may be restrictive in terms of choices and net cost.

  • Choose Budget Stays

Uttarakhand has a large supply of clean, standard hotels or homestays. They are comfortable but not as expensive as luxury resorts.

  • Use Shared Transfers

Group tours or shared cars save a lot of money on transportation compared to personal cars.

  • Be Selective About Things to Do

There are additional fees for adventure activities such as rafting or safaris. Select only the experiences that you hold dear to yourself.

  • Focus on One Region

Reduce commute to far-off places. Travelling between Garhwal and Kumaon saves time and fuel costs.
