Road Trip

Trips are always full of excitement that fills you with the utmost thrill and exuberance. Taking a road trip is a completely different experience and you should experience that at least once in your life. Flying overseas, moving on the railway tracks are also feasible options that you can opt for, but road trip comes bears positive and negative sides and it’s up to you that how you apprehend it. Here are some measures that you should take into account before planning to travel via road.

    • Budget is the most vital element of every trip that you take irrespective of the way you want to follow, may that be air, rail or road trip. So, plan accordingly. Decide whether you want to go for a round trip or a one-way trip. If you have to take a single way trip, then be sure of the rent that you need to pay from whom you are hiring the vehicle. A single road trip is generally costly. Hence, it would be favorable if you plan a trip where you would need to opt for a round trip so that it coincides with your budget.
    • Be well versed with the route you are planning to take. Carry road maps or a proper net connection so that it supports GPRS. Plan your routes and be more than sure of all the direction as any fallacy in this regard would completely flop your trip. Road trips are full of fun, but a bit of estrangement can lead to severe problems.

When you travel with loved ones then the responsibility is much more, as you are no longer concerned only about your own life, rather the responsibility of the fellow traveler(s) also rests on your shoulders. So, you need to have all the necessary information in your bag before setting out for such a venture.

  • Since in road trip, it is the road where you have to spend maximum time so pack your baggage judiciously, carry all the necessary things including from extra clothes depending upon the attitude you are traveling to, as the temperature will be low when you are traveling at high altitudes at night. Carry a first aid box. Most importantly take some light foods and beverages to satiate your hunger as you might not get a Dhaba or a restaurant on the road you are traveling on and to avoid such unfavorable conditions, it is always advised to be well packed.
  • Be sure where you can get petrol pumps to refill your tanks. There can be roads where for miles you might not get any fuel stops. So, take those roads where you can get petrol pumps after every 1Km and before checking out for the trip be sure that the vehicle on which you intend to plan travel is in the best condition. No critical ends should be there as that can turn out to be really fatalistic when you are on your road trip.
