If someone asks me to describe India, I would pick up a few adjectives that can sum up the real meaning of the country. Diversified, colossal, rich culture (that varies after every few km), spiritual, overwhelming, and crazy, these are some of the words that beautifully defines India and what you’re going to witness once there. Traveling to India might seem a bit daunting to some but if you plan to pay a visit to the country, you’ll definitely gain an incredible experience. Since the country is so massive and every city, state, and even the district has something different and unique for, a trip to India can be a tough task. But if you’re already clear with your choices, there’s nothing you can’t do on your trip to India. Thus, I am going to help you out with everything to make your trip to India safe and sound.

Best Time to Visit India

If you’re planning to be on a trip to India, your first concern should be when to come to India or which is the best season to be a guest of India. Well, actually there’s no specific best season to visit India, but yes, some specific places to visit during their respective best seasons. Since India has a very distinctive pattern of weather and concept of the season, you can’t really decide that this time would be the perfect one to explore the country. Well, October to March is generally considered the peak season to visit India but that doesn’t mean you can’t be there during off-seasons. It’s just that you need to think of a different place.

How long you can stay?

Well, if you’re from India itself then you simply need to check out the best places to visit in India, when to visit, or best places to stay etc. But for the tourists who are coming from all around to visit the county should get a tourist visa of at least 6-months. It’s not that you cannot stay longer but no type of visa allows you to stay here for more than 180 days. Thus, you need to go back to your country and then visit India again.

Talking about the number of days you should spend to explore the county in the best way possible. You should take out at least 10-12 weeks, if possible. India has to proffer you with a lot, from the Himalayas to the deserts, busy cities, beaches, jungles, and many more. To be honest, it would take anyone more than a year to travel through all these amazing places, but unfortunately, you have to make some tough choices.

Don’t fret, if you have a few couples of months, shortlist your preferences and what attracts you the most. Make it those places for sure and explore them in the best way possible.

What to pack when traveling to India?

Oh lord, all these stuff are important for me, what should I take and what should I leave? This is one of the constant things that run in the mind while packing. Let me tell you that packing for India is no headache, even if you forget something, you can have here in the country. Still, there are a few things you really need to get to make your trip to India much easier. So, to make it very basic and easy for you here’s what you should pack for your trip to India. First, figure out what regions you’re going to explore in India, is it desert, city, mountain, beach, forests, or ghats.

Now, you can pack your valuables accordingly, for example, if you’re going on a trek, take a nice backpack, comfortable shoes, and proper clothing. You can take loose fitting clothes and a good pair of slippers if visiting the beach is your plan. Don’t forget to keep your essentials that include your travel insurance, visa, and a new SIM as soon as you reach there.

Things to do in India

India is actually the country painted with different colors of diversity and rich culture, and this is for sure that you can’t see everything in a single trip. Thus, here comes the tough part where you need to jot down your choices. Take some time and ponder upon what you like the most, which places can give your eternal happiness, and most importantly how much time do you have? After you write down thing, planning for the can become much easier. To help you out, I have scribbled down the possible itineraries you can choose from.

The Classics: If you’re short on time and want to explore the best of the places in India, try the popular ‘Golden Triangle’ that covers the country’s top three destinations i.e. Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur. This is one of the routes that can be covered easily in a week if you have no issues traveling every 2-3 days. Get started with Delhi, have tempting food at Purani Dilli (Chandni Chowk), visit Red Fort and Humayun’s Tomb. Then you can move to Agra and appreciate one of the 7 Wonders of World, Taj Mahal along with Agra Fort and Fatehpur Sikri. After this, you can move towards Jaipur and let your soul get lost in the beautiful Pink City and the fort of Amber. Don’t miss to go shopping because these places provide you with the best quality things at a quite affordable price. P.S: Learn a few bargaining skills already.

Holy Sites: If religious sites or temples is what that attracts you the most. If you love to hear about the mythological stories behind different temples, India is one place that allows you to explore a number of temples. Go anywhere and you’ll definitely find some very famous temples out there.

One can even move to Jaisalmer and enjoy the Arabian Nights desert fortress.

Head towards the national parks of Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh and spot the fearless tigers. Other sanctuaries in India include Little Rann and Sasan Gir of Gujarat, Wayand in Kerala, and amazing birdlife at Bharatpur, Rajasthan. India puts many wildlife conversation efforts to conserve its species. There’s one other option that is not exactly wildlife but definitely something very exciting i.e. camel treks through the deserts of Bikaner in Rajasthan or Jaisalmer.

Mountainous Life: The Northern part of India is definitely the ideal place for those who want an adrenaline rush and wish to indulge in some kind of adventurous activities. You can start with Shimla, one of the best and classic hill stations in India. If you want to be a part of trekking, skiing, and white-water rafting, Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh can be a perfect choice. Manali is yet another great option for trekking and keep in mind that months after monsoon i.e. September/ October are considered the best months to go on a trek. If you’re visiting somewhere between mid-June to mid-September, you can make your way to Leh in Ladakh that offers you with some breathtaking hiking trails. Rishikesh is also one of the places that can be considered for rafting and trekking, which is also home to sacred mountain temples.

Beaches and Waterways: Do you want to witness India’s most wonderful beaches? Book your tickets for the southern part.

What you wear and how you carry it off says a lot about your intention, personality and mood. Your attire is the first form of communication with another person or a group of people. People can assume and know a lot about what to expect from you by what colours you’re wearing, your dressing style and your choice of clothes.

Fashion holds great importance not just in terms of trends and style but also functionality and comfort. So, it’s not too surprising that official, corporate events require a fashion guide of its own. Going on corporate events or team building exercises will demand you to play a certain role, which means you need to dress the part as well.

Here are some tips to keep in mind when attending formal, corporate events or team parties.

1. Keep In Mind The Crowd and Host

When choosing an outfit for a corporate event, keep in mind the host of the event and the crowd you’re going to engage with. If you know the crowd and the host, you probably know how they dress up and so try to follow the same footsteps with your attire. If the invite to the corporate event didn’t come with a strict dress code, then the best way to choose your outfit is by doing a bit of research and finding out about the kind of people who are going to attend the event.

2. Type Of Event

Is it an office party, conference, team building activity, official trip? These classifications of the kind of event that you have to go to, are going to determine what kind of clothes you should wear. If it’s a formal conference, a formal business attire would be suitable, however, if it’s an office party then you can go ahead with smart casuals. If it’s a party where it’s just a couple of colleagues from work catching up for drinks, you can be a little casual in your dressing style, not too much, because they are your colleagues after all.

3. Whenever Unsure, Play Safe

If there’s a particular outfit that’s making you question whether it’s appropriate for the event or not, it’s probably not. Whenever in doubt, always play safe with a ‘one for all’ kind of outfit. A pair of pants with a smart top from Vibe Clothing Company is something that can suit a conference and an office party as well. If you find things getting too casual, just roll up your sleeves, let down your hair and you’re good to go with your own style.

4. Office Trips

When travelling for work, there should be a variety of clothes in your suitcase. From business formals to casual, cocktail dresses, casual dresses etc. There can be different activities planned for your trip so it’s better to be equipped with the right clothes for different scenarios than to be surprised.

5. Comfort

Don’t forget about comfort when it comes to official events. You might have to move around a lot and converse with different sets of people so it’s important that you be comfortable in whatever you’re wearing.  Comfort is very important if you want to appear confident and survive a long event.

6. Company Dress Code

Most organisations have a prescribed dress code for different events. Don’t forget to refer to it before choosing your attire. The prescribed dress code of your company will give you quite a fair idea of what is expected of you in terms of clothing.

Conclusion

Taking care of what you wear at corporate events and official trips is important to ensure that you give the right impression to others who are present. There is a certain atmosphere and professionalism that is expected at such events and it’s important for you to be a part of and maintain it.

Did you swear never to go camping again because the nights became sleepless or because no one was willing to accompany you to the loo which is a little bit far from the camping tent? Well, be prepared to have a great experience during your first RV trip. RV trip can be an alternative of your regrettable camping trip, but the experience is way better. The first thing you need to ensure is that your RV has passed all tests such as seat belts, propane safety checks, electricity, plumbing, and gas. Make sure it’s safe and secure for you and your family. Now that you are ready to hit the road to make your RV trip memorable through the following tips.

1. Cook Your Favorite Dish On The Way

How cool does that sound? The RV will allow you to cook anything while on the wheel anywhere and anytime. Well, someone else has to be on the wheel because even if you can multitask, cooking and driving are not the activities to exercise your multitasking skills. Anyway, the main point is that as your spouse, child, friend or workmate drives the RV, you can be busy making everyone a meal inside the RV. All you need to do is rely on rvexpeditioners.com to make sure that all the systems inside the RV are working well for your own safety and comfort in doing everything. This is a website that is dedicated to providing information on everything you need to know about RV. They will also direct you to different contact information in case you need help including technical assistance during your RV trip.

2. Your Kids Don’t Need To Sleep In Your Lap

When traveling on long distance, kids tend to tire or get bored and therefore sleep off. During your RV trip, you are allowed to enjoy the view outside while the kids go to bed in the RV. The most amazing part is that you can also sleep if you feel sleepy and you won’t wake up with a painful or sore neck from sleeping while seated. How amazing is the fact that even your driver or co-driver won’t have to wait for tent pitching on arrival so as to sleep?

3. Carry Your Kids And Pets Along

Maybe the last time you went camping you didn’t manage to carry all your favorite toys for your daughter; neither did you go with your dog. Why? Because your car didn’t have enough space for everything needed and of course your dog’s kennel couldn’t fit either. The good news is that with an RV you will have the most enjoyable trip because you will be able to go with the entire family including your pets and they will all fit in. It will be one of your most memorable camping trip having everyone with you, yet less stressful than it would with normal camping.

4. Despite The Luxury, A Camping Fire Will Do More Good

While some people might tell you that an RV trip is not camping, remind yourself that you took the trip to have fun. Go ahead and ignite a late-night fire and toast your marshmallows while howling at the moon. You can do all the activities you ever did in any campsite before, and then later rest in your comfy bed inside the RV.

Make your RV trip memorable in your own way. The good thing is that you can enjoy everything else you ever enjoyed in normal camping only that this time you are doing it more luxuriously. Thinking about refinancing your RV? Know more on how to do it without affecting your credit score.
