Mumbai: Women are indeed superhumans! They manage home and work, children and family, friends and colleagues almost effortlessly. However, to break free from routine life and enjoy some good time to the fullest, a woman needs to venture out with her group of friends to explore newer avenues.

In the post, we will share a few tips meant strictly for women:

• Prepare your itinerary well in advance. Sit down with your friends and decide where all you want to go to avoid chaos eventually.
