Just by traveling during the off-season, you can save a massive chunk of money because hotels, flights, and all other expenses rise exponentially during peak season. Other than saving money, there are various other benefits of traveling off the season, such as not having to face extreme crowds and enjoying your time at the location. During this period, you can get great discounts on Goa, Kerala, Kashmir, and Kufri holiday packages. If you are the kind of person who likes to explore places in depth and spend some quality time at a location, traveling off-season will provide you with that peace of mind.
Bargain
In India, having excellent bargaining skills can help you save money. Even if you are less on budget but have exceptional haggling skills, India is for you. Bargain as much as you can whenever you are shopping because, unfortunately, shopkeepers in India charge travelers exorbitantly. There is no harm in bargaining, and most of the time, you will get good discounts, but make sure that you don’t compromise on the quality for the sake of something cheaper because there are a lot of low-quality products available in the country.
