Doesn’t it sound surreal? All you need to do is select a pet-friendly location and a reputable pet relocation company…writes N. LOTHUNGBENI HUMTSOE
Previously, when planning a vacation, pet parents had three options: leave their furry friends with family or friends, have someone else come to your house to care for them, or place them in a pet boarding facility.
What if we you can take your furry friends on holiday and have a great time without having to worry about their travel?
So why not use these relocation services to transport your pets to their desired vacation locations? They’ll be comfortable and safe, and you won’t have to worry about leaving them at home alone. Furthermore, you will be able to spend time with your pets without constantly worrying about their well-being. Doesn’t it sound surreal? All you need to do is select a pet-friendly location and a reputable pet relocation company.
Faisal Islam, co-founder, Carry My Pet said: “A common misconception about pet relocation or pet travel companies is that people only use their services when moving abroad, shifting bases, or relocating due to a job change or Covid-19-induced shifting. A pet travel company, on the other hand, is all about transporting your pet from one location to another, regardless of the reason for travel.
“Before planning a vacation with your furry friend, ensure that you choose a pet-friendly vacation spot. While it might sound difficult, it’s much easier than you think. Six out of ten Indians have a pet today, and thanks to the increasing number of pet lovers across the country, several tourist destinations have become pet-friendly. Cities like Kerala, Mussoorie, Goa, Ooty, Manali, and Puducherry, among others, have many hotels/homestays and cafes where pets are welcome. You just need to check the hotel’s restriction policies as some of them do not permit all breeds”.
Moving a pet can be tough, but good management can help you relax and spend paw-some time with your baby without having to leave them at home or with someone else. Next time you plan a trip, don’t hesitate. The pet-friendly hotels and accommodations love your pets as much as you do, and relocating your pets using professional pet relocation services will further remove your apprehensions about taking a trip with your babies. So, are you planning the vacation already?

With so many options, it’s best to plan your trip around the cheapest times. Even if it’s off-season or at an odd hour of the week, it may be worthwhile. Do your research before deciding on a time and date…writes Husain Khatumdi
Travelling refreshes both the soul and the mind. These days, whether you’re a seasoned traveller or a first-timer, any day or time you decide to travel is an excellent time to begin planning your next adventure. It doesn’t have to be a long journey; a weekend trip to a different location can satisfy your wanderlust!
Because millennials enjoy travelling but may not want to splurge, it’s critical to take advantage of all opportunities to save money with these travel tips before you start packing your suitcases:
Plan in advance
Plan ahead of time. You are possibly the most liberated you have ever been in your life. You are not constrained by the responsibilities of maturity, such as children, spouses, and other obligations. While the world is your playground, and packing up and leaving sounds appealing, you should think about organising. With so many options, it’s best to plan your trip around the cheapest times. Even if it’s off-season or at an odd hour of the week, it may be worthwhile. Do your research before deciding on a time and date.
Draw up a budget
Planning and budgeting are typically tedious tasks, but this isn’t just any budget; it’s a travel goal budget for an adventure you’d like to embark on. After you’ve determined where you want to go, it’s time to figure out how to get there. Learn more about the destination to which you intend to travel, calculate your expenses according to your budget, and look for deals online to compare and cut costs throughout your stay.
A road trip
Booking alternative modes of transportation can be time-consuming and expensive. Getting in the car with all of your friends for a few hours may be the most enjoyable part of your journey. A road trip can be a great way to save money while still having a fun holiday. Stopping along the way at camp sites or homestays, for example, eliminates the cost of luxurious hotels and resorts, allowing you to truly experience the journey on your own terms.
Travel during the Off-season
The time of year you travel may have a significant impact on your expenses. Off-season travel, on the other hand, usually results in lower airfares and hotel savings. Travelling during the off-season may result in less-than-ideal weather, but the savings usually outweigh the inconvenience. As you plan your next vacation, play around with different travel and lodging options. You might be surprised at how much the rates fluctuate.
Rent a vacation homestay instead of staying in a hotel
The costs are usually lower, and you get the opportunity to ‘live like a local.’ It usually includes amenities such as a kitchen and a washer, which can help you save even more money. You won’t be charged extra luggage fees, for example, because you can do laundry. Alternatively, instead of eating out, cook a couple of meals at home.
Travel like a local
Explore destinations other than the usual tourist traps. Don’t be afraid to explore your neighbourhood and interact with new people! This will enrich you with new experiences and create a journey that you will remember for the rest of your life.
It’s important to remember that travelling does not have to be as expensive as some people make it out to be. Don’t let others tell you that you’re too young and inexperienced to see the world. If you are adaptable and open to new experiences, it could be the experience of a lifetime. Choose a destination, plan ahead of time, and go have a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Bali is finally open for business after a long wait. With unrivalled scenic beauty and pristine beaches, as well as low prices, it is the next dream destination for anyone who hasn’t travelled internationally yet…reports Asian Lite News
It’s summer, and travellers are ready to go on vacation after more than two years of staying at home. With international skies now open, this appears to be the best time for Indians to take their dream vacation.
Whether it’s a ‘dreamcation’, a ‘staycation’, or a ‘wellcation’, if the desire to travel this summer outpaces one’s finances, TNPL (travel now, pay later) service providers are making immediate vacations possible.
Travel bookings have always been stressful for travellers, especially for large-ticket trips where the entire amount is paid upfront for a vacation. Following the pandemic outbreak, travellers plan shorter trips closer to their departure date rather than months in advance. This makes their financial situation even worse.
However, by using the ‘travel now, pay later’ option available at POS with travel merchants, travellers can pay overtime and enjoy a vacation they never thought possible.
Given the ease of purchase, many international destinations are gaining popularity in the summer of 2022:
Thailand
Why settle for Goa when you can relax on a Thai beach? Travellers are choosing Thailand for its tranquility and thrill after the Thai government removed restrictions and given the benefit of being able to repay for the trip over three to six months. It’s no surprise that Thailand is always at the top of the list of travel destinations. Furthermore, Thailand’s vibrant nightlife attracts partygoers from all over the world.
Maldives
This summer, the popular honeymoon destination for Indians is no longer only visited by honeymooners. Aside from being a popular destination for water sports and beaches, the Maldives is also a seafood lover’s paradise.
Iceland
While Kashmir and Himachal have their own distinct charms, why pass up the opportunity to experience Iceland’s breath-taking scenery, waterfalls, and glacier lagoons when one can spread the cost? Previously thought to be only for wealthy visitors, the destination is now seeing an increase in bookings from non-wealthy visitors as well.
Norway
This summer, Scandinavia, particularly Norway, is gaining popularity as a tourist destination for Indians. The allure stems in large part from the diverse landscape of forests, mountains, fjords, and fields, which are a visual treat. Furthermore, their mouth-watering seafood, fresh vegetables, and organic dairy products are popular with restaurants all over the world.
Malaysia
Malaysia, a melting pot of Asian cultures, ethnicities, and languages, is the most sought-after destination in Southeast Asia this year, trailing only Thailand. Malaysia is carving a niche among Asians this season with pocket-friendly packages made even more affordable by TNPL. Switzerland
Bookings made through TNPL increased the allure of this chic tourist destination in 2022. Switzerland has breath-taking landscapes, a plethora of cultural experiences, and a plethora of sightseeing opportunities.
Indonesia
Bali is finally open for business after a long wait. With unrivalled scenic beauty and pristine beaches, as well as low prices, it is the next dream destination for anyone who hasn’t travelled internationally yet. Furthermore, the annual Bali Arts Festival and Kite Festival, held in June and July, have elevated it to the top of the list for most first-time Southeast Asia visitors.
Greece
Travellers planning their first trip to Europe this year are booking for Greece through the TNPL service. Apart from the delectable cuisine, Greece’s immaculate beaches and Greek mythology make it an irresistible summer travel destination.
Italy
Whether it’s the wonderful theatrical performances, art and heritage, or the welcoming nature of the locals, Italy is gradually becoming a must-visit destination for tourists this year. Paris
This summer, visitors are eager to sample vintage wine and delectable cheese right in the heart of the city of love! For most tourists, experiencing everything spectacular in France’s metropolitan city is a dream come true. With so many couples visiting Paris this season, ‘travel now, pay later’ bookings have reached an all-time high for the city.
Deeply inhale through the nose and slowly exhale through the mouth. After 5-10 breaths, you will be in a much better position to deal with the situation…reports N. Lothungbeni Humtsoe
We all enjoy travelling, and now that the world has opened up as a result of the pandemic, everyone has a reason to travel even more, almost with a vengeance!
However, travel can be very stressful on both the body and the mind. Travelling disrupts our routine, time zone differences can disrupt sleep patterns, and simply being in a new location can push us out of our comfort zone. Anxiety begins to creep in at this point, causing imbalances and disturbances in our physical, emotional, and mental bodies.
Jenil Dholakia, Holistic Yoga and Well-being Coach shares five ways in which yoga can help you manage travel anxiety:
Take deep breaths: Allow the breath to be your best friend before and during your journey. Simply remember to take deep belly breaths whenever you feel overwhelmed by any situation. Deeply inhale through the nose and slowly exhale through the mouth. After 5-10 breaths, you will be in a much better position to deal with the situation.
Yoga on the go: Long flights and car/bus rides can cause stiffness and soreness. Stretches and poses for stress relief include neck rolls to the left and right, shoulder rotations clockwise and anticlockwise, spinal stretches – lateral and twisting, seated marjariasana/cat pose, Uttanasana/standing forward fold, and Adho mukha svanasana/downward facing dog pose. It is critical to restore joint mobility after prolonged sitting.
Mindful mornings: Set aside at least ten minutes each morning to sit in silence. Simply close your eyes and bring your attention to the present moment. Beginning the day in this manner will assist you in calming your thoughts, controlling your anxiety, and preparing you to go through the day in a balanced state of mind. You can conclude the meditation by saying aloud, “I am ready to face the day and I choose to go with the flow.” This will train your subconscious mind to be mindful all day.
Viparaita Karni / Legs up the wall pose: After a long day, this is a great pose to jump into when you’re exhausted, especially if your legs are tired from all the walking. Simply lie on your back on the floor and raise your legs to form a capital L shape against the wall. If you hold this pose for 5 minutes before going to bed, you will fall asleep like a baby.
Nature connection: Spending time in nature is the most healing thing you can do. Spend some time outside of your daily routine in a park or near a natural body. Turn off your phone and surrender with all of your senses. See the various colours and patterns around you, listen to the sounds of birds, waterfalls, and rivers, smell the various fragrances of flowers and trees, touch the soft grass and leaves, and fully immerse yourself in nature’s beauty. Allow nature to heal, recharge, and uplift you.
Do you consider yourself a city kid who grew up in a city? Have you always been on the go, ready to take on the world in your own special way? Have you recently sought an escape, an escape that will transport you to another world?
Relax your mind and body by participating in water sports, and don’t forget to photograph and share beautiful moments with those you care about.
We have a list of excursions that are perfectly tailored to your ‘out of town’ experience:
Munjoh, Andaman
Enjoy your private time as you dine under the starlit tropical sky in an incredibly romantic setting. Munjoh’s private shorefront awaits you with a candle-lit dinner full of delicacies and a devoted private butler. This is an ideal getaway to recharge your batteries and face the world with renewed vigour.
Coconut Lagoon Backwaters, Kerala
There’s only one way to get to Coconut Lagoon over the water. Coconut lagoon is located upon the Vembanad lake, one of India’s largest inland lakes with its own distinctive ecology that supports a plethora of natural life.
Kanha Earth Lodge, Madhya Pradesh
Kanha earth lodge is nestled in a small tribal hamlet bordering Kanha’s buffer zone, and it occupies less than 5 per cent of the 16 acres of natural forest that surrounds it. The lodge and its furnishings are built and designed with local waste wood and recycled wood, exemplifying the highest standards in green architecture. With everything so close to nature, you’ll undoubtedly feel the serenity of a vacation.
La Mangrove, Goa
La Mangrove is a place where you can be completely authentic. From yoga enthusiasts to partygoers, and lounge lizards to lazy loungers, people of all ages, backgrounds, and nationalities are welcome. La Mangrove boasts of being a perfect home base to explore the rich diversity of Goa, away from all the hustle and bustle, with the goal of bringing vacationers closer to mother nature.
