fear not, travel far

Anantara Lawana Exclusive Beachside Premier Private Pool Villa

Do the recent rumblings of a double-dip recession have you fearful to plan your next big trip? We come with good news – not only is travel a great stress reliever, but Lonely Planet just released a list of their favorite cheap countries for travel… and we have some insider information that won’t cause any harm on the NYSE.

If you’re interested in traveling off the beaten path and truly interacting with locals, then tour Ladakh, in the Indian Himalayas with Shakti Tours.  Set in a region known as ‘Little Tibet,’ travelers can tour monasteries, participate in cooking lessons, and go rafting on an eight-day, seven-night excursion for $3,535 per person, based on two to three adults, and that price includes everything you’ll need for the week!

Jet set to Bali for some fall color of your own. Uma Ubud is offering several deals from now until the end of the year that will allow guests to receive first-class treatment, but not have to pay for it (completely).  Between October 1 and December 19, guests that book four nights will only have to pay for three.  Four nights not enough? We understand. Book at least seven nights in a Terrace Room between those same dates and pay only $195/night.

Don’t forget the original destination for great, wallet-friendly travel: Thailand.  Tour the capital and stay at Metropolitan Bangkok for a special city rate of $85/night through the end of the month. You can totally swing a last minute ticket with that price. If that feels a little too rushed, book two nights and stay free for a third anytime through the end of October. Also, don’t miss Thailand’s famous clear water and beach-front villas.  Anantara Lawana Resort & Spa on the island of Samui is offering a Best Available Rate deal through the end of October, which includes all rooms and villas at discounted prices starting at $200/night. The deals found throughout Thailand will make this splurge do-able… plus, you can rest assured it’s still not full-price.
