Fun in the sun You better believe it; summer travel can be pretty expensive.
European cities fare high over other places while trips that tempt the adventure traveller soar into the stratosphere too. Here is a roundup of the pricey propositions that cover both ends of the travel extremes— budget and exotic. To add a dash of history to your vacation, you can take a 16-day train trip to Macchu Picchu, courtesy Cox and Kings. It will lighten your wallet by a whopping USD 3,952. Or take a Jordanian trek across the preserved classical city of Jerash, the biblical site of Mount Nebo and Petra—the rock city lost to the world for a millennium and recently classified as one of the Seven New Wonders of the World—at USD 1,235. Explains Aushutosh Mehere, vice president Flexihol and Luxury Escapades, “These summer travel trips are a royal experience; we keep our groups small and manageable, the maximum being 25 people and the minimum being 10.” If the mountains are what you love, go in for Kuoni Holidays’ nineday Rocky Mountain Trail in Canada at USD 3,740 (price per person on twin share) or SOTC’s 10-day Alaskan adventure that is all yours for a cool Rs 69,999 + USD 1,299. Amit Kapoor, AVP, business development (vacations), Travelguru, advocates going Down Under. “Australia and New Zealand are some of the most expensive summer destinations. On an average people plan for an eight to nine day trip, which approximates to an expense of Rs 7 0,000 - 80,000 per person.” With so much on offer it looks like it’s time to celebrate sunshine.
