Plan Big & Wild
Read everything you can about this place. There are nearest sights and attractions you wouldn’t know about otherwise. Give us a rough outline of your trip with 1-2 target points, we will suggest you a variety of ways and highlights to get between them.
Try and jot down a rough pre-trip timeline so you don’t have to do it when you are a week or just few days out your trip to the land of landscapes and high passes where you will be able to see Drang Drung glacier near the Pensi La mountain pass in the far flung Zanskar valley of Ladakh region right from your car seat.
Health
One of the most important things to consider is doctor’s visits for a checkup to ensure physical fitness so that you can enjoy your holidays without a running nose, fever, or AMS.
Packing
The longer the trip, the lighter you should pack. This might sound a bit strange, but it’s true. You can afford to lug a heavy bag around for a day or two, but do you want to have anything extra for a week or two? So, try and act like a pro traveler and pack only what is important, because you are not travelling to a barren land.
Stick to the absolute basics and know what you can and cannot buy at your destination(s). There’s no point in bringing six months of toothpaste or buying family sunscreen pack on a week-long trip. If you want to visit places with diverse climates, we will try and arrange them in manner that you visit the warmer places first and the coldest last.
Be Open To Change
If you are a traveler by religion, you will always be more flexible and adaptable. More rigid you are, lesser you enjoy your trip. Try to mingle with locals. Try to learn local dialects, eat local food and try local dresses, no matter how funny you look.
