1. Research well before you head out
Before you embark on your adventure, identify a broad area you want to explore - it could be a mountain, coastal trail, or anywhere else you have been planning to visit. You could even look through some blogs, online travel forums, or social media platforms for ideas from fellow travellers who have shared their offbeat discoveries.
2. Be spontaneous
Even as you make a broad plan, mapping your full route and plotting the stops, be flexible to accommodate last-minute changes. Sometimes, offbeat trips bring some real adventures, which may require you to change your plans at the last minute.
You may also find something more adventurous than what you had planned to see and decide to spend more time there. 3. Don’t forget the FASTag for instant toll payments
No matter which routes you decide on, NETC FASTag is mandatory for highway tolls in India, and getting one installed in your car ahead of your trip will help you save both time and money.
You can purchase your NETC FASTag with Airtel Payments Bank online and have it delivered to your home for free before the trip begins and enjoy instant activation. 4. Keep track of your expenses
You must allocate a budget for your trip.
For this, estimate all the expenses that you can think of. These could include fuel charges, toll fees, accommodation, meals, and a separate budget buffer amount for miscellaneous or any unforeseen expenses. After all, you are headed on an adventure! Mapping each of these expenses to an account for daily transactions helps you stick to a budget.
Using a separate account for your daily transactions, which is different from your main salary and investment account, helps declutter your bank statement.
