India can go from exceedingly cheap to pretty expensive. There is much beauty across India and the trick is to avoid going to famous tourist attractions. Unless of course it’s the Taj Mahal – that you cannot miss. Taj Mahal is one of the most beautiful places around the world. If you prefer touristy places, go during the off-peak seasons. Good deals are offered at extremely attractive prices. Also, your vacation will cost much less if you travel smart – for instance, take autos if you’re heading to nearby places instead of taxis. Also know that lodgings are cheap and most temples and ruins are don’t charge for entry.

The unspoilt, gorgeous land of Vietnam is increasing in popularity. While street food is the pride and fame of the country, it is home to the most spectacular sight – rice terraces. Food is extremely cheap and dishes commonly cost as low as USD 1 to at most USD 6. Like India, many sites are completely free, making Vietnam one of Asia’s bargain destinations.
4. Sri Lanka

Like India, Sri Lanka is both cheap and expensive. It depends on the type of places you visit. The price of visiting ancient temples is free, but, if you decide to spend your time in national parks, the cost will significantly shoot up. Ultimately, Sri Lanka is much less expensive than India and you can get by reasonably well by spending only USD 8 a day! Sri Lankans are also very generous with their food portions. You could eat huge amounts of food for less than USD 1 and can even ask for a refill!
5. Bulgaria

Greece’s financial crisis has hit rock bottom but this is great news for tourists all over the world! The cost of spending an entire week in Greece, including flight prices and hotel accommodation costs just above USD 2800. Years back that would only be your airfare alone. Travellers are finding this new situation a boon to vacation plans.
Let’s all hope that one of these cheap holidays will become your next vacation!
