It has been long time when we thought of having a weekend or a family trip. This pandemic has made our lives monotonous with waking up, working through out the day & finally ending the day by sleeping on the same bed.
Earlier we used to look at Mondays & start our wait for
the weekend to arrive. We used to spend the entire week searching for places to
start our weekend with and how to make the most of the weekend.
But last six months has been behind the closed doors,
spending days in night suits with no difference between weekdays and weekends.
With offices providing option of work from home, life has left with nothing else
than work through all days and night, including weekend.
With government issuing new guidelines by providing hotel
industry to work with certain norms and guidelines. People are now looking for
options to take a break from the routine & look for fun and
excitement again from the boring days. Youngsters are more willing to take the
risks and try new adventures and explore new places. With air travel still not
considered very safe & friendly, road travel by using personal vehicles are
proving to best preferred options by people these days.
Here is the list of few weekend getaway, options to be explored to break the tedious chain of routine & to bring your backpack & designer clothes back to life.
