Travelling through Thailand in Budget and Style

The magnetic country of Thailand is like a bag loaded with fun, pleasure and surprises.  Tourists get pulled towards the liveliness of the country and end up booking tour packages for Thailand. However, one of the chief concerns while traveling to any part of the world is money. The huge costs of travelling are not affordable by every tourist, leaving them in a dilemma. However, Thailand is one such country where you can travel in style and within your budget.


Location: Save costs by choosing cost-effective accommodation. If you want to stay in close proximity to the nightlife then book costly airport or chief beach side hotels. But a budgetary accommodation would mean staying away from the hustle, i.e., near the remote areas of the city.

Season: A better way of travelling in budget is to travel in the low-traffic season of summer. The temperature around Thailand is pleasant round the year meaning exploring the country during the hot season could also be fun-packed.

Food: Food is the most important element during traveling and Thailand serves up special Thai delicacies at just the right prices. The street stalls and cheap restaurants are the perfect places to eat, the best within your budget.

Transportation: Travelling to different parts of the city or in neighboring towns is best done through buses or trains. However, long travels from one end of the country to another are now feasible due to the availability of cheap airline tickets.

Price negotiation: This is a vital factor of budget travelling. Thailand is a bargain-prone country. So bargain freely without any tinge of embarrassment.


The chief way to travel in budget is by booking a cheap tour package to Thailand which saves a good amount of money without requiring you to compromise on the fun part.

Tulip Festival of Kashmir: Croon and waltz amidst the poetic tulip flowers

Tulip is one of the most beautiful flowers which the plant kingdom has to offer. And there is no better place to feast on its stupendous beauty than at Srinagar, the capital of Kashmir. Kashmir tourism organizes the famed Tulip Festival every year in the month of April. The festival which commenced in the year 2007 has now gained mammoth following and is a big draw amongst tourists and flower-lovers!



Srinagar’s Indira Gandhi Memorial Tulip Garden hosts the festival every year and becomes a ‘mela’ of travelers from around the world. The spring season of March-April is the time when the tulips blossom and collectively they create a mesmeric spectacle in these 5 hectares of garden.

The Tulip Garden, named after the late Indian Prime Minister Mrs. Indira Gandhi, is nestled in the neighborhood of Dal Lake, one of the most visited attractions of Kashmir. It goes without saying that the garden acts like a magnet to travelers. And just in case your visit to Kashmir coincides with the timing of the festival (the first 2 weeks of April), then it would be blasphemous to skip this rhapsodic flowery corner.
The tulips grow in a huge variety and in almost every conceivable color. They appear to sprout from almost every inch of the ground and a walk amidst their presence can be magically soothing to the eye. It is for their unearthly charm that many tourists consider April as the best time to visit Kashmir.

Tulip Garden can be visited easily under a friendly itinerary chalked out by your tours packages. If you always wanted to run beside a carpet of flowers (a la Kajol in DDLJ’s ‘Tujhe dekha toh ye jaana sanam’), then this place is the one made for you.

Entry fee: Rs 50 (for adults), Rs 20 (for kids)

Timings: 9:30 am- 6:30 pm (daily)
