India is one of the most culturally rich and diverse countries in the world, and it’s also incredibly budget-friendly. From the snow-capped Himalayas in the north to the tropical beaches of Goa in the south, India offers a wide range of experiences for a fraction of the cost of many other destinations. Street food is both delicious and cheap, with meals costing around $1-3, and accommodations range from budget guesthouses to affordable luxury hotels. Transportation, including trains and buses, is extremely affordable. While places like Delhi and Mumbai can be more expensive, destinations like Rajasthan, Kerala, and Varanasi offer an affordable and immersive cultural experience.
