Even a short weekend getaway can be enough to take a break from your routine and unwind. Whether you spend your time relaxing at a peaceful retreat, trying out local cafés, or simply slowing down for a couple of days, it’s often the little things that make the trip worthwhile. With a bit of planning, you can make the most of your time away. In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Pardeep Siwach, general manager, Mayfair Spring Valley Resort, Guwahati, shared ways you can make the most of your weekend trip.
1. Set your travel goal
Before you even open a booking app, figure out what you actually want from your weekend getaway. Are you looking for a staycation or to spend your time exploring local markets and cafe hopping? While a mix of both is great, it won’t be an ideal decision to plan a packed itinerary when your body wants a deep reset. If your goal is to simply unwind, pick a comfortable property with modern hospitality. “Conversely, if you want to be out and about, select a central spot and focus on just two or three key locations so you don’t spend your precious 48 hours constantly stuck in traffic,” recommends Pardeep.
