Indian holiday travel during peak seasons is increasingly becoming a stressful experience, marked by severe traffic congestion, overcrowded tourist destinations, and inflated prices for accommodation and services. Many travelers report their anticipated vacations turn into nightmares due to these issues, leading to anxiety rather than rejuvenation. This chaotic travel pattern is often attributed to a 'paisa-vasool' mentality, where the pressure to maximize every moment and expense transforms leisure into a rushed, demanding activity.
