Why wait for summer vacation, when travel is more lively now?

We all love vacations and I mean why not, this is the time when we look out for new places to explore and new things to experience. But all of this vanishes in a wink of an eye, we all do say that vacations come and go but do you really await for such a vacation which is more of chaos rather than peace?

It’s time for you to plan your trips when nobody does, the Shoulder Season. The season where you don’t have to rush nor do you have to face the huge crowds that crush you against the walls, letting you restrict yourself from stepping out. During the Shoulder season, everything is beautiful and things can take place in the way you desire or expect for, actually it’s more than that!

Talking about technicality, the exact definition of Shoulder Season differs from destination to destination, in simple terms it means a travel period between the off-season and the upcoming peak season. Many of us can’t plan during this period, due to children’s school, unsuitable weather conditions and various other personal reasons.

At least you can try planning for a weekend getaway or if your child is still a toddler then you must not stop yourself from taking advantage of this period. During Shoulder Season, the destination is more lively, and more pleasing to the heart in terms of culture, hospitality, local experiences and so much more.

If you are someone, for whom travelling is all about doing extraordinary, and going offbeat then Shoulder Season is the time of the year when you can travel and be more you!

Now is the Shoulder Season and here’s the list of advantages for planning your trip right away.

Lower costs: 

Traveling is fun when it happens as per your budget, without hurting your pockets. During shoulder season one of the key advantages of exploring a new destination is that from your flights/trains, accommodation to undergoing various activities comes down to a very minimal price making you relax more and take less stress about budget. 

Fewer crowds: 

The true essence of a place can be witnessed only when you happen to discover it when there is less crowd. Turns out that you got your second reason to plan a trip during this period. Visiting various places during Diwali might turn out to be very crowded for you. Hence the period right after Diwali and before Christmas is the period where you can enjoy roaming around the destination you travel to in the most explicit way. 

Mild weather: 

When the weather is good, your mood is good and when everything seems pleasant around you you can’t stop and just enjoy. It is one of the best things about the Shoulder season that weather conditions are quite favorable and you don’t have to worry about the pre-planning for severe weather. Currently, you can think of visiting Ladakh, The weather might be too cold for you but if you are someone who is into winter, then snow would definitely welcome you here. 

Availability: 

You don’t have to worry about the bookings and reservations because during shoulder season it’s quite easy to get things done. In simple words, this would be the best time to book the table of the most awarded restaurant in the place and finally get your hands on delicious cravings. 

Local experiences: 

Local experiences can be enjoyed at their best when you get the opportunity to experience it when the aura is good, localities are happy to welcome you and introduce you to the stories that let you transfer yourself from past to present in a wink of an eye. 

Special events & festivals:

Festivals and special events that happen during the Shoulder Season are the best signs to plan your trip. You would turn yourself into a proper localite and surely enjoy the occasion in a much more authentic and exclusive way. Pushkar Fair is one such festival that you can witness in a very subtle manner, as it takes place right after Diwali you might witness quite a few crowds coming from other states and experience more local crowds getting along and enjoy this occasion with lots of enthusiasm.

Rather than finding your way through the paths filled with bustling crowds, start planning your trip in a season when empty pavements and the owners of souvenir shops tell you the significance of buying handicrafts and why is it an important part of a heritage.

Travel during this mild season and immerse yourself into various facts, stories and unexpected experiences that makes you attracted towards the place in most unbelievable way.
