There is nothing more exciting than a spontaneous trip and those who have experienced it surely knows what I mean. I always believe that planned trips can be fun but unplanned trips are super adventurous and all the wanderers and travel freaks skip their beat at the thought of such an adventure.
However, the visa application formalities surely make it a bit difficult for us to just pack the bags and leave for a different country the next morning. A lot needs to be done but here’s a good news for all Indians who love to sleep in India and wake up in Thailand, Bhutan or a different county. There are a few countries where you get visa on arrival and there some where you do not need a visa at all! Woohoo! So, read on to know about some of these beautiful countries and do NOT plan your trip, let it be spontaneous this time.
