As soon as the month of November arrives, pleasant weather begins across the country. Neither too hot nor too severe cold, this time is considered most suitable for traveling and spending time with family or friends at some great tourist destination. Tourist places in almost every part of India start buzzing with tourists during November. Some like to visit the desert of Rajasthan, while others go towards the valleys of Himachal or Uttarakhand. However, planning a trip during the winter season is a little different and challenging compared to the summer. If you are also preparing to go somewhere this November, then to avoid any trouble on the way, knowing some very important travel tips before leaving can make your journey comfortable and memorable.
#1 Correct prediction of weather and selection of right clothes is very important
In the month of November, the weather patterns are quite different in different states of the country. In the hilly areas of North India like Manali, Shimla, Auli or Ladakh, the temperature drops rapidly, while in the plains only a slight pinkish cold is felt. In such a situation, after selecting your destination, do not forget to check the latest updates of the weather there. If you are going to a cold or mountainous area, then definitely carry heavy jackets, woolen inner wear, gloves and a warm hat. On the other hand, if your trip is to a desert or coastal area like Goa or Rajasthan, then layering clothes prove to be the best option which you can take off when the day is sunny and wear it when it gets cold at night.
#1 Save your time and money with pre-booking and budget management
The peak tourist season begins in India from November, which directly impacts the prices of flights, train tickets and hotel fares. Booking at the last minute may not only cost you several times more, but not getting your desired hotel or train seat may spoil the fun of your entire trip. Therefore, it is wise to complete the booking of transportation and accommodation in advance as soon as the date of your travel is decided. Apart from this, you can save a lot in your budget by using discount and coupon codes available online.
#1 Don’t forget to keep emergency medical kit and essential items with you.
During winter travel, there is always a risk of health deteriorating due to sudden change in weather, cold winds or change in eating habits. Special care has to be taken of health especially while traveling with small children and elderly people. Keep medicines for cold, cough, fever, stomach ache, and motion sickness (vomiting in the mountains) in your travel kit. Along with this, it is very beneficial to keep moisturizer, body lotion, lip balm and thermal flask (hot water bottle) with you, so that you can keep yourself hydrated and healthy during the journey.
#1 Information about local culture, festival calendar and local transport
The month of November is the month of festivals and cultural celebrations in India. The Pushkar Fair of Rajasthan, Dev Diwali of Varanasi or the Golden Temple of Amritsar are worth seeing during this time. If you are going to these special places, then definitely check the local festival calendar there so that you can enjoy the real beauty and local culture of that place. Also, keep Google Maps and correct information about local cab services or public transportation in advance so that you do not have to wander in an unknown city.
#1 Always keep digital backup and safety documents ready
In today’s digital era, it has become very easy to take care of safety and convenience while traveling. Keep a soft copy of all your important identity cards like Aadhar Card, Voter ID, Passport and Hotel Booking saved in your phone. Also, download offline maps before traveling to an area where there may be network issues. Keep your phone’s power bank fully charged so that your battery does not run out while capturing beautiful views on the camera. By keeping these small things in mind, you can make your November winter trip completely safe, comfortable and unforgettable.
