Feeling the blues post lockdown? Take a road trip

With a few precautions, now is the time you can start planning a weekend getaway or a long road trip. Hopping on to a flight might not be the safest option for all, and opting for public transport like train or bus can be risky as well. Weighing in, a road trip is perhaps your safest bet to soak in the outdoors. Plan your odyssey - think local road-trips over inter-state journeys, book a private vacation home over a resort, and practise safety measures while you step out! 
 

From quiet nooks to unexplored places, India has a lot to offer when it comes to road trips. Once you zero down on the location, decide who you want to travel with. Do you want to drive down with your family to visit relatives whom you haven’t met in a long while? Or take that trip your friends have been discussing over chats for months? Whatever your destination may be, if you have set your heart on it, pack your bags, gather your loved ones and hit the road. 

Apart from the great company and an upbeat playlist, what you need on a freewheeling road trip is a comfortable car, one which is capable of handling different road conditions, great to drive, spacious, fuel-efficient and reliable.
