Depends on location... traveling with whom and what's your objective or trip...if travelling with family for leisure than it would be better to book a package....if doing solo or with friends to explore than doing on your own would be better option
Hi Shru, I would say it really depends where and when you are telling people. If I am going somewhere during late evening and someone asks me, I would rather say with friends. It's okay to share with people if you are constantly on move or with families, I guess you need to have your own judgement. Also you can check my post related to safety topic: https://www.tripoto.com/trip/top-3-ways-females-can-travel-more-responsibly-5c7ad485e2ded
Also how come I see such huge write ups about trips by fellwo travellers on the site but when I start to pen down I am restricted to 250 only. i am pretty sure I am doing something wrong. PLS HELPPPP :(
Spend evening at mall road.. do eat mix veg dosa at the Indian coffee house. if u have time.. visit naldehra and talai in mashobra. also do visit the charabra helipad on the shimla kufri road.. it gives some surreal views of the mountains around which very few people know about.
Stay in a not too luxury hotel. You can explore a standard hotel on MMT/Yatra/Expedia/Goibibo/Booking/Hotels/Agoda. etc. If you are a group of people, a cab would work out to be cheaper as the expense can be shared.
Go without package.. eye on airline sales for flight from Trivandrum to Delhi.. take a bus from Delhi to Manali. rent a bike/car there and enjoy the place yourself :) cheers to travel!
