Answering Your Deepest Concerns & Worries

Frequently Asked Questions

Travel planning can be fun, exciting or even stressful, at times. But if you have a list of what all to plan, things make it easy. Below are the most frequently asked questions we’ve faced in our experience of running this travel agency.

Should I travel Local This Year or Overseas?

How much time do you have available? What’s your budget? Does a flight suit you? A local trip is more often a spontaneous one with either family or friends to the nearest destination or within the same country. An International trip is best suited if you have a minimum of 7-10 days in hand and have planned and booked well in advance. This saves a lot of money and last minute planning stuff. Whether you wish to travel local or overseas is to be thought of and planned well.

What Kind of Trip Do I Want? Relaxing or Educational, Adventure of Culture?

What is this trip about? Sandy beaches, mountain ranges, wildlife safari, music and art, history and culture or enchanting cities? Are you in a mood to relax or are you willing to do exciting activities or is it going to be a mix of both relaxation and exploration. Is it getting soaked in sun or is it going to be enjoying wildlife in their most natural habitat? Your expectations will help us deciding the perfect destination for your vacation.

At several holiday spots, you might have to decide between exploration and relaxation. Of course, any decision of what to do will have its own advantages.

Who Will I be Travelling With?

Time and again it is said that the finest mode to travel is by yourself. But what if you have got relation ties, or you only imagine ticking off those adventures with some company?

After all, a trouble shared is a trouble halved, and the excitement of travel can be twice when you combine other people to it. When you plan a trip as a group it is not only your travel dream, but it becomes a collective one.

What is The Length of My Trip?

Are you concerned about the money spent? Well, you’re not alone! Make sure you spend some time deciding the duration of the trip. Are you too busy with your job and have limited time off? Plan a short trip.

Very few are lucky ones who have a private business or who are retired. For them, long duration trips are best as they have fewer burdens on the time limit to return to their work. When you appropriately decide the duration, you can perfectly plan your budget as it all depends on a number of days.

How Much Am I Willing To Spend?

The next important thing to consider is to set a budget and try to stick to it. You definitely do not need a lot of money to travel, but you want to feel comfortable with choice of travel and accommodation. It’s easy to divulge into the details of planning and scheduling, but before you do, make sure you have a clearly defined budget in mind. In fact, the budget can play a big role in choosing the destination and duration of vacation.

What If People Around Me Don't Speak English? Will It Matter?

Whenever you are travelling to a particular destination that is acquainted to deal with tourists, locals can be found who speak some basic words of English. However, it is important to keep in mind that while you talk to them, talk slowly and clearly, and not in loud tone. Try to make use of simple English vocabulary. While travelling, a high level of English fluency is not needed.

The most easiest way is to hire us to handle your touring experience and you’ll never have to worry about this kind of concern.

When Is The Best Time To Travel?

Weather is vital – it can be a mood enhancer or spoiler. No doubt, right? A rainy day can spoil your family’s day out if you’ve decided to take your family trekking. Its always good to take a look at the weather, or in fact, plan your trip according to the weather you wish to stay in. You wouldn’t go hiking in an Alaskan winter, right?

Also, ask yourself, are you fascinated by different festivals? If yes, then plan a trip by considering the festive season of the place you are going to visit.

How Important is Insurance?

Yes, this is one important point to consider!

Travel insurance is yet another ‘must have’ to consider while you travel. It is nothing but an emergency care when things go wrong unexpectedly. It can be anything – losing your baggage from an airline, getting hurt while hiking, paragliding, deep diving or any other physical activity. Travel insurance is not just a health insurance. It includes a medical component for illness and injuries, but many are not aware of the fact that it even covers a cost of cancelling a trip or an emergency transportation. It doesn’t cover an existing illness. Some travel insurance even covers you at home.

How Will I Approach Currency Conversion?

How to deal with foreign currency if you are traveling abroad? You need to enlighten yourself with where to get cash from, what are the exchange rates and fees associated. Credit cards are the first thing that come to your rescue. The biggest advantage it brings along is purchases are exchanged at the interbank exchange rate and usually they provide you best rate you can get for currency exchange.

What Do I Do If I Lose My Passport?

Do you like the situation when you lost your credit cards or ATM cards? The answer is a big no! Exactly in a similar way, the pain of losing a passport feels Oh My Gosh! Just imagine that you go to travel the foreign land and you lose your passport. The though itself is nerve-racking!

If you lose your passport on the trip, don’t panic, simply contact your nearest embassy to cancel and replace it. You need to do this as soon as you know that you lost your passport. Before approaching the embassy to make an application for a passport, you need to arrange the required documents, such as proof of ID (not your passport, obviously) and a statement mentioning the information of the theft. Always take a photocopy of your documents before you leave home!
