Great Ways to Rock that Impromptu Road Trip

Sudden plans do not give you enough time for thorough planning but here is a list that will ensure your last minute plans are worthwhile! Road trips are never about just reaching the destination but more importantly about the journey taken together on the unraveling road. 

1. An epic playlist

A tastefully made playlist with the most apt songs can set the mood for what could be the next best road trip you have taken.Next time you hear the same song you are sure to be flooded with some road trip memories. 

2. A series of fun card games

We all love the age old game of UNO or bluff and it forms a staple for all cousin,friend and grandparent card game.However if you are looking for something to play with a car full of your friends bring along a pack of Cards Against Humanity. Disclaimer: Do not play this with your grandparents. 

3. Picnic Basket

For the benefit of those rumbling and tumbling tummies carry knick knacks like mini sandwiches,muffins,juices,candy etc in a portable picnic basket.It is most important to be nibbling to avoid motion sickness.

4. Stop and enjoy the highway food

What is a road trip without stopping on the way for tea and cheap snacks at the local dhaba's.Get the taste of the places as you pass them by and add to the joy of the journey.

5. Carry a map or an atlas

Your phone can always give up on you and getting lost on an open road may not always be an adventure. So always keep a map handy or go old school with with an atlas to ensure you are on the right track.

6. Take pictures

Not all pictures are meant to be selfies for Instagram. Photograph the beautiful highway and far fetched places for your scrapbook's and pin up boards. So click tons of pictures to capture these moments.

7. Feel the pollution-free wind in your face

Road trips are synonymous for getting out of the polluted city life and breathing in fresh air.Stick your head out of the car and feel the fresh wind in your hair and admire the greenery around.

8. The sunset, the scenery and the stars

While you drive along the roads take a pitstop and spend a while to notice the star laden sky and the scenic sunset that you would miss in the city.

In search of adventure in India

TravelSpider suggests you some of the adventure holiday destinations in India as listed below, if you are really in search of them.

Mountain biking in Ladakh:

Ladakh, lying on the northern tip of India’s frontiers, is truly unparalleled in its majestic beauty. Biking around Ladakh is the holy grail of adventure cyclists all over the world. Terrifying mountain passes, thin air, and awe-inspiring beauty in a remote frontier landscape make this one heck of an adventure.

Skiing in Gulmarg:
A destination that’s as breathtakingly beautiful as it’s adventurous—Gulmarg has, over the years, become a magnet for those who love the thrill of extreme skiing on its big, jagged slopes. Pine-fringed and blanketed in snow, it exudes a charm few other places do.

Trekking in Zanskar:
Trekking in Zanskar is an adventure into one of the only truly remote frontiers in the country. The ancient monasteries and high passes in this cold and isolated erstwhile kingdom are mostly reachable only on foot or on horseback.

Scuba diving in the Andaman Islands:
The archipelago of Andaman and Nicobar is home to a diverse marine life—one that is a magnet for those in search of amazing underwater life. The pristine waters of these islands offer many opportunities for snorkelling and scuba diving as well as chances to try out other water sports.

Trekking and camping in Sikkim:

One of the smallest states in the country Sikkim amazingly also possesses topography stretching from tropical all the way up to alpine. Along with stunning bio-diversity, its home to old monasteries and superlatively pretty towns like Pelling. It’s one of the few places in the country where it’s entirely safe to travel without fixed plans and set up camp pretty much anywhere along the way.

White water rafting in Rishikesh:

Surrounded by the fast-flowing Ganga and forested hills, Rishikesh is a hotspot for adrenaline-pumping rafting adventures through a section of rapids that change in character every year. While rafting draws the most visitors to Rishikesh, it’s entirely possible to camp on the riverfront and lounge by bonfires under the stars.

Jungle safari at Jim Corbett National Park:

This sprawling abode for tigers and scores of other species is one of India’s top havens for wildlife enthusiasts. One word of advice: don’t get so preoccupied with tiger spotting that you miss other animals, and just the romance of traversing through what is genuinely wild territory.

Paragliding in Manali:

With mountain adventures beckoning from all directions, Manali is the perfect destination for those looking to unwind during the summers. Backpackers come to hang around in the villages near the main town and adventure tourists come for trekking, paragliding, rafting and skiing.

Skiing in Auli:

A twelve-hour-long drive from Delhi, Auli, India’s premier ski resort, is a picturesque destination located in the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand. Temperatures plummet to -4 degrees during the months of January to March, and ski enthusiasts gravitate here by the truckloads.

Nature walks in Dharamshala:

For those who like walking in the hills but don’t want to commit to full-fledged treks, Dharamsala, with its crisp, pine-fresh air, and magnificent vistas of the Dhauladhar range, is an ideal retreat. There are a number of short interesting walks around including popular ones to Triundh and Chamba Valley.

Indian Travel & Tourism Horoscope 2015

India’s Feat Is Likely To Shoot Up By 7.5%

According to a report by the World Travel and Tourism Council, the Indian Travel and Tourism is forecasted to see a growth of 7.5% in 2015, owing to the new visa reforms. This spurt is exceeding the growth predicted for the South Asian region, by 0.6%.

This clearly indicates that the industry which contributed 7.64 trillion rupees and 36.7 million jobs to the Indian economy is likely to keep the Tour Operators in Delhi NCR busy. It is expected that there will be steep flight of 8.22 trillion rupees of India’s GDP and approximately 37.4 million jobs. The report states that India has a good potential to benefit from visa reforms, in addition to the infrastructure improvements under new government.

Well, this again makes the situation vivid and hopeful that investment in the sector will rise by 9.3% by the end of this year. Wow, a good deal of increment!

India is a developing country, and due to its rich culture and heritage, it has been able to grab a lot of attention for its Domestic Tour Packages.

 

On the other hand, a lot of Indians have started picking up International Tour Packages for their vacations to explore the beauty of different countries and their culture. This ultimately throws light on one point, that we might be probably missing out on, is gradually the likeability of travelling and exploring different places have increased significantly.

Overall, it seems several thumbs up for India’s travel and tourism industry. Now, that one quarter of the year is over, let us just wait and watch what next three have in their womb.
