Think ₹10,000 isn’t enough for a great vacation? Think again.
At Trip Today India, we believe memorable travel doesn’t need massive budgets—just the right planning. With the right hacks, destinations, and mindset, you can explore India’s beauty, culture, and cuisine well within ₹10,000.
Let’s break down how to make your next trip affordable, exciting, and stress-free.
1. Pick Budget-Friendly Destinations
The secret to an affordable trip starts with where you go.
Top picks for under ₹10,000 getaways:
Rishikesh/Haridwar – Spiritual + adventure + budget stays
Dharamshala/McLeodganj – Mountains + monasteries
Pushkar/Udaipur – Heritage + local food + lakes
Hampi/Gokarna – History + beaches without Goa crowds
Pondicherry – French vibes on Indian budget
Trip Today India Tip: Go off-season for lower hotel and travel costs.
2. Choose Cost-Efficient Transport
Avoid expensive flights unless you find a solid deal.
Budget transport options:
Sleeper/3AC trains – Pan-India coverage + comfort
Intercity buses or shared cabs – Especially in the hills and coastal areas
Local rentals or walking tours – Cheaper and more immersive
If you must fly, book at least 30 days in advance or use reward points.
3. Stay Smart: Budget Hotels or Homestays
Where you sleep doesn’t have to eat your wallet.
Look for hostels, dorms, or verified homestays
Book directly from trusted websites for better deals
Avoid paying for unnecessary amenities like pools or gyms
Many places offer ₹500–800/night options that are clean, cozy, and safe.
4. Eat Like a Local
Skip overpriced cafés or fancy restaurants.
What to do instead:
Try local thalis or street food (safe and delicious)
Buy snacks or fruits from markets
Book homestays with meal options
You’ll eat more authentically and spend way less.
5. DIY Sightseeing
Instead of paid tours:
Use Google Maps + local blogs (like ours!) for itineraries
Join free walking tours or community meetups
Rent a bike or cycle for ₹200–₹400/day in many towns
Exploring by foot often leads to the best hidden gems.
6. Pack Right to Avoid Extra Costs
Avoid buying basics at tourist prices.
Checklist:
Water bottle
Reusable cutlery
First aid kit
Sunscreen, toiletries
Power bank, raincoat (in monsoon areas)
Smart packing = smart spending.
7. Sample Budget for a 3–4 Day Trip Under ₹10,000
Actual costs vary by destination and deals—Trip Today India always suggests keeping a ₹500–₹1,000 buffer.
