Vacation is necessary. For everyone, it not only gives you respite from the daily rut of life but also allows you to think laterally. I say this because, even a going on a vacation these days has become an activity for most of us City dwellers. An activity that will have us go through various websites or in some cases to approach tour organizers or travel agents to find about best deals to explore new destinations, either heard of from friends, colleagues or relatives.
In most cases, a defined budget & time will determine what the vacation will be like, which is true and cannot be overlooked. However, it is this very narrow approach towards gearing up for a vacation, that can kill the essence of making fullest leisure of it. Hope you address your vacation as an activity of leisure or what the heart desires rather than something that looks like a To-Do List.
Here's how I came about planning mine. Of course, like I've admitted to the fact that one cannot ignore time & money, nor did I. I was considering taking a break & knew that it had to fit my time & money bill. Which left me with choices of flying to destinations to save time but because the cost would be more the destinations were more likely to be frequent flight cities. As most of us know that high air traffic routes will have lesser cost involved, this would allow a breather for my pockets. And then the places to stay would be a standard 2/3 star.
All this changed. A show on an Indian travel channel was presenting the beautiful Hill station of Bhandardhara, Maharashtra. The host for that particular show really showed great pleasure to be part of it (for reasons I think was the splendid place he stayed at - Anandvan Resort, Bhandardara http://www.anandvanresorts.com/). So, as it happened, I immediately turned on my internet & googled the rest of the itinerary.
