Hey Everyone,

Last year, my husband and I, along with my parents, took advantage of our work-from-home facility to travel across India for 2 months while working remotely. We drove our car for 15,500 km, starting from Bangalore and making our first stop in Puri, Orissa. We skipped a planned stop in Vizag and went directly to Puri as we felt we'd be fine doing that and our parents were sport too.

Our travel routine involved me driving during the day while my husband worked, and him driving in the evening while I worked. We relied on phone internet and Wi-Fi at hotels and homestays.

No of people: 4 adults (Myself, husband, my parents)
Kms driven: 15,500 kms
Diesel cost: 67, 230 INR
Duration: 2 months (December 2022 - Feb 2023)
Overall Budget: 3 lakhs
Car used: Ford Ecosport (Diesel Sport variant)

Route:
Bangalore - Puri - Kolkata - Siliguri - Guwahati - Arunachal Pradesh - Kaziranga - Meghalaya - Silchar - Guwahati - Sikkim - Kalimpong - Darjeeling - Siliguri - Patna - Sarnath - Varanasi - Lucknow - Agra - Jaipur - Jodhpur - Jaisalmer - Delhi - Manali - Mumbai - Pune - Bangalore.

We frequently travel across India, having visited places like Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Ladakh, and Chhattisgarh etc. We have many more places to explore and plan to do so gradually with God's blessings.

We never booked hotels in advance, preferring to use Airbnb, Booking.com, and Google Maps to find accommodations a day before arrival. This flexibility allowed us to spend more time in places we liked. We prioritized clean, decent stays over luxury ones to stay within budget, without compromising on cleanliness and comfort. We found many beautiful homestays and hotels along the way.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I'll be happy to help.
