We always plan for a short trip for a minimum of a couple of days or three days but then we miss out on planning the route properly or we might have missed deciding the sites that are popular in and around the location that we shouldn’t miss out. It’s all because of a lack of planning.

Best trip needs the best plan with proper timing to reach the place and for site seeing so a minimum of 4 days of the trip will be sufficient to reach the spot, take rest and hop into have fun by visiting sites.

Most of us will plan the place but we won’t make it to the place at the right time as we get deviated from the place on the way and with whomever, we travel does matter because we need to entertain and make each one of them satisfied with the trip. Say for example if you are travelling with your family then your parents might love to visit temples and the kids need some adventure and your partner needs something romantic so it is necessary to plan accordingly.

But how to satisfy everybody’s wish and that too within 4 days will be another challenge and that’s why we say proper planning of the location that you are going to visit and the sites you have given priority will make the trip the best and the favourite one for all trip mates.

And while planning a short trip keep the travelling distance in mind as well if we are in travel for so long we will be exhausted when we reach the spot and we will not be in the mood of visiting the lovely spots that need to be befall.

So without Kick the Can Down the Road and to make the trip short and sweet we give you the proper plan to visit the unique places that can fall on satisfying almost everyone by visiting almost all the entertaining spots like beaches, sanctuaries, temples, and hill station all within 4 days? Yes, you have heard it right route our plan and schedule will let you reach all the different terrain.
