I am already under palms in Puri on the coast of Bengal Bay.
It is the day at leisure – to relax, to make the laundry,
to enjoy the warm sea.
India is cheap to travel.
Young travellers often ask me: How much does it cost?
It depends of the chosen standard of travel.
My – budget version looks like that (sample):
Breakfast: two tomatoes – 5 rs
Bread 400g – also for the lunch – 20 rs
Butter Amul 100g – also for the lunch – 30 rs
Dubar Honey 250g = for 3 days – 95 rs/3
Selfmade tea and coffee (bring your heater!)
Lunch:
Bread, butter,
2 boiled eggs – 14 rs
10 bananas (also for dinner) – 20 rs
Dinner:
Fried fish in the rest – 100 rs
plain rice – 15 rs
bananas, tea, coffee
TOTAL food per day: 234 rs = less then 5 USD
You have to add of course transport, room (around 400) and entry fees.
Cheap, isn’t it?
