If traveling far and wide around the world is on your mind, a low budget trip is just what you need. However, it can be a daunting task for an Indian traveller to plan a budget-friendly trip, as Indian currency is not as powerful as compared to many popular foreign destinations.
Therefore, to start off, you can start with some budget-friendly countries to visit from India; places where both your wanderlust and budget would be the highlight of your travel.
Sri Lanka
It is one of the cheapest countries to travel for Indians. Known for its lovely coastal areas, it is also very welcoming towards Indian travellers. Sri Lanka has beaches all around its coastline and is famous for being one of the most loved islands in the world.
Whether you want to indulge in adventure activities, or are in a mood for a romantic vacation, you will be spoilt for choice when here.
The Maldives
It is one of the favourite destinations for Indian travellers, and we cannot agree more. If you plan your travel well before time, you will not end up spending extra bucks. Resort to backpacking, opt for homestays and guest houses to keep your daily budget in check.
Also, to get around, you can take the public ferry; however, make sure you check their timetables, as they don’t operate every day of the week.
Nepal
If you desperately want to go for a trip, and your budget is low, start with Nepal. It’s budget-friendly and is also an amazing backpacking experience. If your trip is well-planned, your 10-day backpacking trip to Nepal from India should cost less than INR 15000.
Home to many of the world’s highest mountain ranges, Nepal is culturally rich and offers a new perspective to travel.
Vietnam
It is hands down one of the best South East Asian countries to go for a backpacking trip. Not to forget, it is also one of the cheapest countries to travel from India. Vietnam boasts of beautiful beaches, scenic landscapes, amazing street food, modern history, and many limestone caves that you can visit when in Vietnam.
And, if you want to cut short your budget further, you can opt to visit the place during the off-season.
Myanmar
Indians can visit this place via road too. All you have to do is reach Imphal, Manipur’s capital city. For this, you need to get to Guwahati either by plane or train, and then proceed further. It also ranks among the best backpacking destinations in Southeast Asia.
Also, since it’s less explored as compared to its Southeast Asian counterparts, such as Cambodia, Thailand, and Vietnam, there are chances that it will be less crowded.
