I know that traveling to a foreign destination is very expensive but this doesn’t mean that you should give up on your dreams.

I have created a list of 6 countries you can travel from India without burning a hole in your pocket. So, without further adieu, let’s get started:

1: NEPAL

Nepal is a very beautiful country and the best thing is, it’s the neighbor of India so you don’t have to go too far away. It has some amazing locations and sceneries that attract a lot of travelers from around the world.

If you are from India, you also don’t have to apply for any visa to visit Nepal. You can go by plane, bus or by your own car or bike as well after taking some permission during the entry.

You can get a decent hotel or hostel for ₹1000 to ₹3000 per night to stay there depending on the facilities provided by them. You can visit the capital city Kathmandu where you will see a lot of temples or other cities like Pokhara where you can experience many adventure activities like sky diving and bungee jumping if you want to spend a little more.

You will also find many delightful food options like Nepali thali, famous Momo, as well as Chinese and Indian dishes. Although food is a little expensive there and you might have to pay a little more to satisfy your taste buds but certainly you can get some cheap ones if you explore a little more.

You have to pay ₹450 for transport by bus if you want to go from Kathmandu to Pokhara. You can also rent a bike or car if you love to ride by yourself. All you need is a valid Indian driving license.

2: VIETNAM

Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh are the two main cities every traveler must visit if they are visiting Vietnam. Food is also quite cheap and you can easily enjoy a 3-course meal in just ₹800 per person. As we know that Vietnam is a coastal country, you have a lot of seafood options.

Then comes the street food, which is the specialty of every country. You can have a different variety of street food which is a great option if you are on a budget trip as compared to a restaurant meal.

3: BHUTAN

Bhutan is known as the happiest country in the world. It is known for its peaceful environment and natural beauty. Also, Bhutan is very close to India so that makes it a budget travel destination for Indians and there are no visa requirements for Indians to visit Bhutan. You must carry either a valid passport with a 6-month validity or a voter ID card issued by the election commission of India.

You will find a decent hotel or homestay in ₹1500 to ₹2000 per day easily all over the country. Talking about the activities, you can take cultural tours, local sightseeing, Himalayan tour, adventure sports, and much more.

The places to visit in Bhutan include Thimphu, Punakha, Paro Valley, Wangdue Phodrang to name a few for the tourists. Food is amazing and you can easily spend ₹100 to ₹400 for a meal depending on the place you eat.
