Budget travel is the current trend.  Budget travel is possible not only in our country but also abroad.  These are trips by booking budget airlines, opting for low-cost accommodation and using only public transport.  Let's get acquainted with some foreign destinations that can be visited from India at a cost of less than one lakh rupees.

SRI LANKA

 Budget travel abroad means Sri Lanka for Indians.  A baby country with almost Kerala/Tamilnadu mixed culture, food variety and hospitality to match.  Sri Lanka is the most easily accessible foreign country from Kerala.  Choose from different packages that include cultural sites, wildlife and candy mountains like Munnar. Now boat service is also available from Nagapatnam to go to this country which lies right next to our Dhanushkodi.  Its ticket price starts from just Rs.5000.  Now visa is also free.  As the country does not have any metro, the main modes of public transport are trains and buses.  Another advantage of being a small country is that you can see all the major sights in just a week's time, and accommodation costs less if you choose hostels.

NEPAL

 Nepal is like their own country for Indians.  Located between India and China, this beautiful country is home to eight of the world's highest peaks, including Mount Everest.  Pokhara Annapurna Trekking Circuit, Lumbini Village where Buddha was born, Sagarmatha National Park, Kathmandu Valley, Chitwan National Park and many other sights await tourists in Nepal. The fact that Nepal shares an open border with India also attracts tourists here.Nepal is a backpacking tourist's dream destination.  Tourists from India can easily visit Nepal without breaking the bank. A valid identity document is the only requirement for Indians to enter Nepal. No need to even change currency. Hostel-backpack culture keeps travel costs down again.

Thailand

Thailand is one of the most desired destinations for Indians. Beaches, nightlife, partying, natural beauty and food variety all come together in Thailand from India at very low cost. Pattaya, Phuket, Krabi and its beach life and parties all fascinate tourists. Very cheap accommodation and delicious and inexpensive street food keep Thailand travel costs down. Bikes can be rented to get around. You can go without a package or guide if you are prepared to suffer a little. There are no significant security issues. Indian tourists were allowed to enter Thailand on visa-on-arrival basis. But now visa-free entry is also being allowed on an experimental basis. Thailand has also extended visa-free entry as Indian tourists are crucial. Passport is mandatory.
