How to choose a right tour package or how to avoid the beaten track and get the maximum value for your money is one perennial question that bothers every tourist when he is bitten by the wanderlust.

Well, there are no tailor-made commandments that can universally apply to everybody's case. Obviously, barring pilgrimage, each has his or her ideas and wishes while going on a trip.

One can, by experience and foresight lay down certain points that could help prospective tourist to gain the maximum and minimize waste in these days of difficult times.

What you want from the tour is the first thing to be decided. It is like deciding your menu by self rather than going by someone else's suggestion. Is it adventure pure and simple? Is it a fun trip or Nature tour? Is it a honeymoon or lovers' voyage to some exotic locales? Is it a study tour or study-cum-fun tour? Best of all, is it a trip with a business in mind? Travel brings ideas on anything including business.

Once you decide the questions of what, when, and where, choosing an appropriate tour is not difficult. One way is to ask the tour operator to ...
... customize your visit to the extent possible. This gives you the scale of economy of a package plus fulfillment of your personal whims. If, for instance, you are on a North India tour and you are keen to take a dekko at the famed erotic temples of Ajanta, Ellora which falls under the Central India tour, the tour operator with vast network could make your wish come true.

Fractionalize your tour. When suitable package is not available, it is advisable to fractionalize your route plan which in essence is using local tour operator of the area for a specific purpose. If your plan is to visit Humpi and hop on to Munnar, giving Tamil Nadu a miss, the best and most economical way would be to travel to Hampi on your own method and tie up with a tour for Munnar in Kerala. This way you avoid routes that do not serve your immediate purpose. In such instances, it is also prudent to go in for car rentals rather than depending on local transport.

If a pleasure trip with your lover or your family is the aim, the best would be to go for a package that has something of everything, rather than a tour heavily loaded in favour of a theme. Some tours, for instance, cover more hill stations and a few coastal locales which may not be your idea of a fun trip. Try to get into a tour that throws in a bit of all : hill stations, midland courses, backwaters, coastal spots, a chance for health rejuvenation, medicinal massage etc.

If it is a festival time (and they are a lot many in India), most operators advance cut in cost. Should your trip is not time-specific it is good to cash in on the benefit.
It's always a smart idea to carry your debit/credit/ smart cards while on tour even if all your expenses are paid for. You don't know when you come across something you have for long desired to own.
