Stay Healthy While on the Go

For all those who think traveling is their staple of life often gorge on too much of it like Hulk on the food strike. This leads them to some unexpected health crisis on the go, ruining their entire travel experience completely. We bring you a few basic tips to keep you in the pink of your health no matter which part of the world you are exploring. Here we go:

 Take time for at least one fresh and healthy meal daily

While traveling we want to try every new food our eyes see but we should not abandon healthy food while traveling. One should experience all the amazing dishes a new city of the country can offer but without compromising on the health. One should take time for a healthy break and curb the big heavy meals by planning for at least one healthy meal a day.

A healthy eating diet plan in a new destination may not be as challenging as there are many places you visit who will have outstanding local markets where you can grab fresh local produce, meats, grains and seafood as healthy snacking options.

Carry packaged drinking water

The thumb rule is that you should always drink packaged drinking water of a trusted brand while you are traveling. But if you can’t always do that then carry your own reusable water bottle wherever you go that will be endlessly useful while traveling.

Always stay hydrated while traveling or on the plane. One of the simplest ways do is that as soon as you get through the airport security line; fill up your bottle at the nearest water fountain. Continue the practice till you are out for the vacation. Most travelers fall sick after returning from their holidays. The main reason is contaminated food and water.

Do not drink the water of local food stalls. The quality of water may not be good enough for your health. Drink only from the trusted sources.

Don’t Indulge in Too Much Alcoholism

Traveling is all about exploring a new place, meeting new people, and having loads of fun without any restriction. The concept of fun gets to our head sometimes and we indulge in drinking way more than usual with our new brotherhood in the foreign. Too much drinking can wear your energy off and make you sick in an environment you are not used to. It also dehydrates you. Limit your alcohol consumption.

Stick to your routines

We run ourselves down so much during the trip that you are too exhausted to stick to your daily routine

Little things like skincare routine especially night skincare routine and vitamin regimen should not be ignored even while traveling. Travel time as an off-time from usual activities but taking care of yourself is important. In fact following a regular routine and practicing total health during your trip will make your vacation all the more pleasant.

If you take vitamins or medications on a regular basis, be sure to pack them in a travel container so that it does not take up much space in your suitcase and when you’re traveling especially on an airplane, these are easily accessible.

Daily Workout

Exercising on a holiday is more difficult than breaking Da Vinci Codes. Some people think that working out puts stress on body and soul, which is opposite to the idea of traveling. However, this is not true. Workout helps detoxify your soul of all the impurities it has accumulated so far.

It fills you with instant energy to take on a variety of daily challenges on the go. The bad effects of eating contaminated food are subsided if your body is functioning properly. Daily workouts even on your exotic holiday can double your fun.

Adventure Itinerary Travel Tips

An enchanting road trip to Leh!!

Last year, in Sep 2016, we #ghoomophirosisters went on a road trip to Leh, and it was one hell of the experience for us.The Leh-Ladakh road trip was on our #bucketlist for long and finally we made it.  Finally, I’m chronicling my road trip adventure for CEAT Tyres in association with BlogAdda in this blog post. This Blog-Post not only describes the detailed itinerary that one should follow while planning for Leh-Ladakh but also talks about the quick checklist while driving on the uneven, rough terrain of Ladakh region.Since we had fewer days in hand, we flew to Leh, and rented the bike from there.

Itinerary

Day 1 : We landed at Leh around 7Am, and went to our hotel at LaBudha. Loved the hospitality of hotel staff. They ensure we acclimatize to the altitude well and offered honey ginger tea. Several tips like taking Diamox tab, monitoring oxygen levels etc. Took rest in the hotel itself and kept drinking lots of water. The food was good at the hotel. Keep monitoring your Oxygen levels. In the evening, we went to the bike-shops and rented the bike. before renting the bike, we ensured that bike is up and running and is flawless. Obviously, there were CEAT Tyres to be our partners in crime in our dream road trip.

Day 2 – Next morning, all geared up, we headed towards Nubra valley via Khardungla. Khardungla is the highest motorable pass road of the world. Plz make sure, not to stay there for long due to high altitude. While on the way, you will cross Hunder, do not miss to take the ride on double humped camels. We stayed in camps in Nubra.

Day 3 – Plan was to drive back to Leh via the same route. However, we also stopped for Dikshit Monastery and the majestic Maitreyi Buddha.

Day 4 – Next morning, we drove from Leh to the most talked about Pangong Tso Lake is popularly known as 3 Idiots lake.On the way back, we did stop for the quick look at Hemis Monastery. Stayed overnight in Pangong in a homestay. Evenings are really cold, so make sure you are wearing sufficient layers.

Day 5 –  By this time, we were little exhausted, and drove back to Leh. Our stop over was Thicksey Monastery. We reached on time at Leh and were so acclimatized that Leh felt like home to us.

Day 6- This was supposed to be our last day at Leh, so we utilized time for local sight-seeing like Shanti Stupas, Market.

Day 7- And finally we bid goodbye to Leh with a promise to come back again and drove back to Manali. Btw, one can rent a bike in Leh and drop them at Manali.

Do’s and Don’ts for your self-drive

Don’t be overconfident

You might have been a veteran biker, but don’t underestimate the terrains here. Even the smoothest and simplest of roads can hurt your vehicle badly and force you to be in the midst of nowhere. Hence, avoid taking unnecessary risks

Don’t Rush and Be Patient

While driving, the lot of endurance and patience is required. Don’t rush. Instead whenever in doubt, take a step back and analyze the terrain, to plan your ride further. CEAT Tyres really proved to be the boon for us during our drive and thankfully we did not land up in any tricky situations.

Knowledge of your vehicle

It is very important to be well acquainted of your vehicle, as you shall be the one fixing it on the way.

No Drinking and Driving

Drink and Drive is a clear No, while on the high altitudes as alcohol may not be completely digested and may lead to AMS or you being collapsed while driving.

Be Helpful

Always extend a helping hand to the people in need while on the way. You may find army men, fellow bikers who are stuck. Be kind to them

Must Have’s

Do not miss to carry following things while on self drive.

  • Basic Toolkit including Jack and Spanner
  • Air Compressor and Foot pump
  • Hydraulic Jack
  • Puncture Repair Kit
  • Screwdriver Set

  • Funnel
  • Spare Coolant and Engine Oil
  • A Long Stick/Rod
  • A Shovel and a Hammer
  • Elfy
  • Drinking Water and Snacks/Dry Fruits

I hope this checklist helps you in your upcoming trip to Leh. Last but not least, do not miss the chance to follow the amazing signs that Border Roads Organisation has put up for our safety. Enjoy the safe trip to this one life time place.

Here is how travelling can help beat depression

Travelling is fun; there is no second thought on that. But to which level can traveling actually lift the spirits of someone going through the dark phase of their lives??

There is an unsaid reason why most of the people start packing their bags almost every other weekend to have some time off their hectic lives. Most of them may still don’t know it, but traveling acts as a therapy in ways you can’t even imagine when it comes to tackling depression.

It helps you build focus

Focus is what most of us lack in life. Have you ever wondered that planning a travel can keep you occupied? Travel planning on which place to go, what to pack, where to stay and plenty of more things will keep you busy and focused. Apart from your regular job, you will have something to look forward to which will eventually keep you motivated.

It enables you to get adapted to changes

Not everything will go as you planned it to go. There will be many ups and downs during your journey but you will learn how to balance on both the situations. You might get robbed, and have to ask for help from strangers. Your booking gets canceled at the last moment and you keep on wondering where to go. Anything unexpected can happen which will make you stronger for bigger battles of life.

It helps you to build a positive approach

At times often in life, we start losing all the hope and keep giving up on everything. It could be the result of some failure or a setback. What we forget is that failure is not the end of life. You should know how to come out of that mode and get your life on the track. Traveling can help you attain that. The change in the air and surroundings can make you rethink about your life in positive terms.

 It gives you time to be with yourself

Humans are social beings; seldom do we want to be alone in our lives. Traveling alone when you are fighting depression will give you a chance to reinvent yourself and then, sitting alone on the top of a hill staring down into the abyss while counting all your blessings! Who wouldn’t want that and how could that not be enough to think better about yourself?

Helps you meet different people and make friends

Meeting new people at a new place is wonderful in terms of making some new friends. Very often, you meet people who can turn into your lifelong friends.  Just one person can get you out of your misery and there are many chances that you are going to find that person if you act true to yourself. The memories that you make, the talks that you share and the things that you learn from your travel companion could be counted as one of the best moments of life.

You learn to be grateful

Travelling teaches to be grateful towards small and big things of life. The tough times that you face while traveling reminds you of old good times and leaves you grateful for that. Sometimes traveling alone can make you thankful for the family that you have back there at home.

Depression is bad, but there is the cure for everything and traveling is the best thing anybody could bet on relieving depression.

Tips to cope up Demonetization while travelling

India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi shunned the nation with the surprise announcement of the ban of 500 and 1000 rupee notes that hit the Indians like a storm. He announced that effective from 9th November, the entire 500 and 1000 Rupee bills will be demonetized with immediate effect and will be replaced by new currency bills of INR 500 & INR 2000. The bold move didn’t settle well with the average citizen and the country went into an emergency like situation. As expected, it has affected a lot of industries very negatively. Tourism, one of the flourishing industries in the country, providing employment to thousands of people will see a lot of ramifications in the arriving phase.

How will demonetization be affecting the travelers?

As India is bidding adieu to all 500 and 1,000 rupee notes, these currency notes are nothing more than a piece of paper. The biggest problems are being faced by the international tourists who are already in the country. For foreign travelers already in India, exchanging home currency into higher denominations of Indian currency during the entire period will pose a huge challenge and for those who already have the older bills of INR 500 & INR 1000, the exchange will be all the more difficult thanks to huge queues in banks and ATMs.

Most of the hotels, dhabas, lounges and eateries in the country are still not equipped with the card or online transactions. Obtaining cash while standing in the huge queues in banks and ATMs is becoming more and more difficult and perhaps, there are no chances of any improvements until a few weeks either. All this has impacted the stay of foreigners who are currently traveling in India.  The basic expenses of food, local travel, and shopping have also become inconvenient for foreign travelers who don’t know what to do with their cash and in case they haven’t paid yet for hotels and sightseeing packages, the woes of demonetization are likely to be higher.

The Indians who are already travelling in India or those who intend to go on a holiday to an Indian destination during 9th November – 30th December 2016 might come up issues while booking if they are looking to buy packages from local agents and pay through cash.

Here are a few ways to cope with the situation.

–Try and go to the places where debits and credit cards are accepted. Although most restaurants and hotels already have online transaction feature, but holds mostly true for the bigger cities. So, it would be better to limit your wanderlust to the metro cities.

-The ATMs in the rural areas are still struggling with massive lines and minimum cash. So in case you fall short on cash, move to the metropolitans where it would be easy to spot an ATM. We just hope that you are lucky enough to successfully withdraw cash within the daily limit before the ATMs run out of cash due to the long persistent queues.

-Despite the demonetization, the government has ordered petrol pumps and railway stations to accept the old currency, so that might be some relief for the travelers.

-Apps like Paytm are also proving to be a great help in dealing with the situation. Most small businesses and shops support online transactions via e-Wallets which are similar to debit/credit card transactions and widely available.

-In offbeat destinations like Kasol, where the availability of ATMs poses a challenge, it is going to be really tough to cope. So we suggest you pay online as much as possible and not to exhaust the cash you hold and carry cash in lower denominations.

Conclusion

The travel sector will no doubt get affected, but if one plays it with the mind, the phase will pass away smoothly. Else, just wait for 50 days as the Prime Minister has asked us to.

Couples that travel together, stay together!!

Travelling with your partner, family or friends is not only an extremely fun thing to do but also is vital for healthy relationships. Families and friends who make regular trips tend to be stronger, happier and closer. The same thing goes for couples too!

There are a plenty of reasons to support the travelling of couples together but the best ones according to team Ghoomophiro are listed below.

Understanding and adjusting to each other

Travelling is revealing and an eye- opener not only to the exterior world but also to each other. Couples get to know each others’ strengths and weaknesses and innovate ways to complement each on these roles as they survive similar situations together. They come to know whether they are fit to live together in the long run and at which places are the adjustments required. They see each other not only at their best but also at their worst.

The spark of the relationship remains alive

Travelling is one of the handiest ways to keep the relationship with your mate vivacious like it is in the initial days. It does not become dull with regular trips because something fresh and new awaits the couple at every turn.

Seeing the other one in a new light

Since you are with each other most of the time, there is little space for keeping any kind of secrets. There are no facades and you learn to appreciate your partner the way he or she is, with or without make- up, while he/she snores, so on and so forth. Travelling reveals a bunch of ugly truths which are a part of reality and consequently the relationship deepens. Unexpected things can happen while you are travelling which will eventually come to fruition because you will experience highs as well as lows and as a direct result your partner will get to see the genuine you.

They witness a pool of romantic moments

It goes beyond what you read in any book or watches a movie. As a travelling couple, you live the romance out of impulsiveness and a mindset that you could be led anywhere and anything could sparkle another moment of beauty. It is always about the experience and not the money that travelling together could bring!

They become more tolerant towards each other

Travelling together makes room for mistakes to be committed and flaws to be disclosed. However, challenges crop up all along the way and couples who travel together realise the need of forgiving each other quickly and moving on.

They learn to share responsibilities

To ease the burden while travelling, the partners learn to distribute responsibilities between them ensuring a hassle- free trip. Therefore, they learn to function as a single unit.

 Their bond strengthens and they become BFFs

Since they have only each other to turn to while travelling and fewer disruptions by third parties, they are more likely to become better friends. They would have each other’s back during various challenges and will provide each other with the ally they need. This will be the ultimate test of love and a relationship. If you can face these situations and still love your significant other, you are going to be just fine when it comes to trivial arguments.

They grow jointly

Travelling offers loads of opportunities for learning, and the knowledge gaining experience bonds the couple together. They get to know about new things and widen their perspectives about stuff together resulting in simultaneous growth.

So plan up a trip soon with your better half! It will make your relationship better than ever before and rekindle your love.

Tips to book cheaper flights and hotels…after all travelling should never stop!!

Travelling is fun, the most fun thing everybody likes to do on their vacations or free time. But let us all just admit it, traveling isn’t cheap. It’s heavy on your pockets and that too in case of family outings and group travels. Getting the best deals on hotels and air fares is easier than before thanks to the online portals and everything. And plus, here are we with some useful tips and suggestions that could make the traveling easy on your pockets.

Hotels

Go for a meta-search engine- A hotel meta-search engine is a search portal that would refer to several hotel booking websites in order to zero on the cheapest and best deal for you.

Book last minute- booking at the very last minute can result in you getting an amazing deal on the hotel of your choice. Some last-minute booking apps such as HotelTonight have been in successful operation for quite some time now and should be on every traveler’s phone. However, the last-minute booking trick is risky, so if the trip is extremely important, book in advance.

Call the hotel directly- Being directly in contact with the hotel can grab you a good deal. The rates posted online are sometimes subject to change based on the vacant rooms and other stuff and the websites forget to update the rates on their official websites and portals. In that very scenario, calling the hotel directly and inquiring about the available room rates could get you the room at a much cheaper price.

Flights

Search for flight in midweek- The airline companies tend to raise their price over the weekends due to the high demand. So taking the flight on Tuesday or a Wednesday could get you a cheaper flight, more or less, as most flight companies come out with sales between Tuesdays and Thursdays. Eg for China Southern Airlines, you can plan the flight for Tuesday.

Look for a package- Opting for a package that involves a flight ticket along with a hotel booking could get you some pretty delicious deals. Almost all the main travel portals are filled with some tempting deals that could make you really really happy while being extremely easy on your pocket. These work especially when you travel in a group or with your family that gets better deals.

Keep checking their social media updates- If you are a frequent flier and still not following your favorite airline on the social networking sites, you are going so wrong. You could find some great deals on their pages which they would be happy to give to their most loyal customers. Other than that, there are portals such as Travelzoo, where the airlines post their discount news among other interesting things.

Just planning or even imagining about the place you’re planning to travel sends shivers of excitement down your spine but trying to book the cheapest possible flights to any given destination can be tiresome. It involves repeated searching.  Using these tips next time you book that flight or hotel would surely come in handy for achieving the goal of spending less while never missing out on the experience.

Why we need International Travel Insurance

As the holiday season approaches, families start packing their bags for a peaceful vacation. There are a lot of expenses attached to every trip. The tourists who are more anxious than the rest remain always remain fearful of something going unplanned such as natural disaster or a medical emergency which could put a damper on their vacation. After all, it isn’t every-day that you get to spend this much on something you like.

International Travel insurance covers the losses incurred during any medical emergencies, flight cancellations, luggage misplacement and other things that could probably go wrong on a tour.

Emergency Health Treatment and Evacuation Cover–If your regular health insurance does not cover the medical bills and treatments while you are abroad, then you certainly need travel insurance handy. From car accidents to the sports-related injuries, there are many things that can go wrong. At that time all that is required is having cover for your treatment and evacuation from the country.

Flight cancellation – If the thought of missing a flight or a train to your holiday destination makes you wondering about the money that could get wasted, then there are policies for travellers that may get you onto another flight or train or may even reimburse you. Sudden changes in weather conditions are one of the common unforeseen travel misfortunes that can happen to anyone which leads to flight cancellation usually, especially in a country like India, where the heavy rains and floods are not a surprise.

Losing documents abroad such as your passport- Losing important documents such as your Ids and passport can be a harrowing experience. In case you do not know the local language, communicating can be a challenge. But if you have the travel insurance policies handy, a call to the emergency number can get you can get the duplicate documents ready and all the related expenses will also be incurred. You can reach your home safe sound with a little smart planning.

Theft and Pickpocketing- You have just a little idea about the place that you are going to and some people can take advantage of this. The tourists are the best bet for the petty criminals and pickpockets. Covering it through an insurance policy may get you your stolen stuff back.

Loss of luggage- This is another big issue the travellers face when they travel abroad. The incidents regarding the lost luggage are quite common even in the best airports around the world. Covering it through insurance will make you feel safer and save you an anxiety attack that could happen when you won’t see your luggage in there. The replaced luggage won’t give you back everything, but at least a peace of mind is guaranteed.

Sudden illness before your trip – In case you have set everything up but right before the day of the trip, you have fallen sick, do not worry about the loss if you have  The travel insurance policy will cover any sudden illness before the trip and you can choose to be healthy first before setting out to travel again without having to spend anything extra.

All these issues are common with the travellers and are enough for everyone to understand how travel insurance is one of the best decisions they have made about the trip. Many still ignore the importance of it. But the growing rate of travel insurance coverage tells the story about how people are playing it safer these days.

Why Travelling with your Sister is always Fun!!

We often come across this question, that what pushed us to choose our sister as travel partners. #ghoomophirosisters. Here you go..

You already know each other inside out

Travelling is a rigorous process consisting of a lot of sleepless nights and hurdles to overcome. It comes in handy to know each others’ habits, likes & dislikes, and strengths & weaknesses from beforehand. In such a case, there remains no room for unpleasant surprises when you already know how the other person reacts in similar situations. God forbid, if there is a crisis, you both can make a good pair ward off the trouble and emerge out of the negativity because of your mutual understanding and coordination.

It is easy to share money

It is much easier to share costs with your sister as compared to any other person. If you lend and do not get the money back in time, you know whom to catch hold of in financial crisis. You can vouch for her to pay your bills too as that is what at least an elder sister does! If you both are not earning as of now and your parents are funding the trip, there is no need for even splitting the costs; the payments can be done from one common source only. All these things add- on to the simplicity of the trip and hassle free travelling.

You both can be brutally honest with each other 

There is a certain element of openness and frankness in the relationship of two siblings. They can criticise each other with ease when the need arises and be appreciative too with the same amount of comfort. The thought of the other person getting awkward usually does not arise.

Your sister will tell you when you behave irrationally or may be when your clothes do not look right! She might be savage in her delivery, but her intentions will always be altruistic.

Fights cannot go on for too long between you two

Quarrels with your family especially your siblings do not last for long. One moment you yell and shout on the other one and the very next moment you can be seen laughing together. That is how the relationship with a sister is! They are not serious and do not last for very long. You tend to forget about them soon and do not hold long- term grudges against each other.

 Both of you will look out for each other

It is because you trust your sister with crucial things of life, you feel safe with her during travelling too. You can depend on her for all the important stuff like booking tickets, carrying documents and protecting you from unwanted circumstances. She will always have your back.  Also, it is nice to have someone to take care of your belongings and watch your bags while you run to the restroom!Convinced !! Plan a trip with your sissy soon then!
