A Student’s Diary: Traveling on a budget in Pakistan


All students, whether they are in school or university, at some point, plan to travel the northern areas with their friends. I, myself have planned numerous trips throughout my educational years. But also, like most students, I am too, constrained by a budget. It would be utterly preposterous to spend around Rs. 30,000 or more on a few days’ trip with friends, keeping in mind that school and universities fees already cost so much.

One ought to think that since a group of friends are going on vacation together, the cost might be less. However, with inflation increasing ten-fold, nothing is cheap nowadays! Certainly not any sort of vacation.

During my trip to the northern areas of Gilgit, it was remotely difficult to accommodate everyone regarding the final amount of the trip. This was because most students did not find the cost feasible as it was only a short trip and the costs of hiring transportation along with the living situation exceeded the estimated cost. Most of the expenditure was spend on the hotels even though we went as a group. After a lot of hassle and fickle decisions, we somehow managed to settle on an appropriate budget.

However, in my opinion, students should be awarded a discount when staying in hotels. But of course, these businesses need to earn as much profit as possible and would not budge their prices Hence, students, when traveling should explore other options of living accommodations such as an Airbnb, like that provided in the west.

Until a few months ago, this service was not available in Pakistan. However, Ghumo took the initiative and introduced a local system just as that which is seen in the west. This platform is just what the students need; Ghumo using technology to link students with local hosts (mezbans).
Students are always up to date with the latest technology related information and hence it would be an extremely stress-free process to book accommodation through an online platform, where the service-provider’s main aim is to provide the booker with low priced living situations on a temporary basis. The price range is such that it would offer the students a wide selection so that they can choose whichever lodging they deem suitable for their travel on a budget.

Being a student, it is quite apparent that even when we want to plan trips and have fun, we have certain financial limitations that bound to so with the setting up a local mezban system works entirely in our favour. Nonetheless, traveling to northern areas such as Gilgit is now a completely hassle-free task for students as mezbans are located in those areas as well. It’s time for all the students to have fun without having to worrying about their expenses. So head over to https://ghumo.pk and start booking!

Visit Lahore’s Historical sites with Ghumo

Lahore’s architecture is one of the best in Pakistan. The buildings, the forts and the mosques are from times as old as the Mughal era. Lahoris have managed to preserve their architectural history over the centuries and till date, people still visit these monuments. When you book with Ghumo and decide to reside with a mezban, it will surely benefit you when they decide to share their own knowledge and information with you regarding their area and city. You cannot get this sort of insight anywhere else, it is only the mezbans who can give you in depth knowledge about their city including all the historical sites.  One of the best is the Lahore Fort. To this date, schools still take their students to this exceptional fort where the Mughals once resided. The people of Lahore occasionally take a little trip here from time to time as well because one simply cannot get enough of the beauty this fort holds. And for those who are visiting from other cities, it is a must for th

The Careem of Hotels in Pakistan

Ghumo.pk is the first online platform for vacation rentals in Pakistan, to have come up with the exceptional idea of empowering the locals to become mezbans (hosts) to those who want an in-depth experience of traveling to different parts of the country without any constraints. Ghumo provides the locals with the opportunity of mehmam nawazi by becoming mezbans, based on the successful model of Airbnb that has flourished worldwide. This allows them to, not only provide the travelers with a safe haven for a time being, but also become financially independent and entrepreneurs by opening up their homes or other properties for the people to stay in during their vacation. When the locals decide to take advantage of residing in a tourist spot by acting as hosts for the vacationers, it provides them with a sense of accomplishment. They are able to aid in offering good quality properties to the people at lower costs than the overpriced hotels. The aim of the Ghumo mezbani is to give
