“Travelling on a budget is an art… aur hum Indians toh us art ke Picasso hain bhai.”
Baat simple hai Guruji…
ghoomna sabko pasand hai, lekin budget sabka tight hai!
Aur jab paisa limited ho, toh ideas unlimited hone chahiye —
desi traveller ke dimaag mein toh IRCTC aur jugaad dono full speed pe chalte hain!
“Paise kam ho toh kya hua… agar dimaag desi ho, toh har safar royal ban jaata hai!”
1️⃣ Tatkal Ticket Mastery – Alarm Lagao, Luck Jagao
Desi travel ka pehla hack:
Tatkal booking = thrill + tension + pura mahadev ka jaap.
Trick yeh hai:
- ID proof ready raho
- Auto-fill extension use karo
- 10:00 AM pe system ke samne aasan laga lo
“Tatkal mil gaya matlab safar nahi… Vijay mil gaya!”
2️⃣ Night Trains = Hotel Ka Khatma
Kya zarurat hai hotel book karne ki,
jab raat bhar ki train tumhara 2-in-1 bed aur ride ban sakti hai?
Budget traveller ka funda simple:
“Sleep while you move.”
Ek raat train, ek raat dharamshala —
aur paisa bachao, thali me zyada bharo!
3️⃣ Local Transport Zindabad
Auto waale “300 lagega sir” bolte hain…
par desi traveller ke kaan mein bajta hai:
“Arre bhai, bus ka ₹10 lagta hai sirf!”
- Local bus
- Shared rickshaw
- Train ka general dabba (ekdum full body contact yoga wala ride)
“Budget mein ghumo toh log kehte hain: ‘Ye banda travel karta nahi… jeeta hai!’”
4️⃣ Free Mein Ghoomna Seekho
Har sheher mein kuch na kuch free hotspots hote hain:
- Delhi: India Gate, Lodhi Garden
- Mumbai: Marine Drive, Gateway
- Kochi: Fort area, street art
- Udaipur: Lake-side walk
Aur haan — sunset, stars, aur chai pe koi GST nahi lagta!
5️⃣ Street Food = Pocket Friendly + Tummy Happy
Hotel ki ₹400 wali thali ko side rakho,
Mumbai ka vadapav, Delhi ka chole bhature, aur Kerala ka appam-sambhar is the real deal!
“Zyada pay karna tourist hota hai… kam mein maze lena traveller hota hai!”
6️⃣ Refillable Water Bottle = Planet Saver + Paisa Saver
Airport pe ₹50 ka bottle lena band karo Guruji!
Apna bottle le jao, aur refill karo:
- Railway stations
- Hotels
- Aur Jahan Pine ka Paani dikhe….
Chhota hack, bada impact.
7️⃣ Group Booking = Discounts + Dosti
Akele travel ka swag alag hai,
lekin 3-4 log milke:
- Stay sasta
- Ride sasti
- Masti zyada
Aur sabse achha — kaam sab mein bat jaata hai!
Booking mein ek expert, bargain mein doosra, aur food suggestion mein ek foodie!
8️⃣ Free Walking Tours + Couchsurfing + Hostels
Kayi shehro mein free walking tours milte hain (tips based).
Aur agar aap adventurous ho, to try:
- Couchsurfing: Free stay, local connection
- Zostel & Hosteller jese stays — saste aur chilled out
“Budget travellers ke liye duniya ek hostel hi hai.”
💡 Bonus Pro Hack – Desi Dimaag Lagao, Google Map Pe Naka Lagao
Location pe “cheap food near me” type karo,
public reviews padho, aur bas…
local uncle ka dhaba mil gaya toh samjho yatra safal!
🧭 Desi Traveller Ka Mantra
- Train mein travel
- Dabba khana
- Bistar backpack mein
- Aur dil full open!
“Budget kam hai toh kya hua…
Humara swag priceless hai!”
