Travelling doesn't necessarily have to be a money-draining process. If you want to explore but not burn out your savings, you should choose countries where
the Indian rupee is stronger. In these countries, everyday expenses like meals, transportation, and accommodation are relatively cheap for a person paying in INR as compared to other expensive countries. So, whether you want to go to the beach, explore cultures, or visit a historic city, you can stay longer, choose a better hotel, and do more for the same amount of money. Here are five places with a currency weaker than INR and why you should take a trip there.
Indonesia
Indonesia spreads over several thousand islands and is a perfect and cheap place for Indian tourists to visit. The Indian rupee goes a long way when changed into the local currency, Indonesian rupiah; thus, accommodation, food, and local transport are comparatively cheap. Local meals and renting a scooter or taking a local ride will lower your costs further. Java is known as the cultural centre of Indonesia, where you can visit the ancient temples like Borobudur, take a break in Bali, or choose to island-hop at your leisure—all of this would be budget-friendly.
Vietnam
One of the most affordable foreign destinations for Indian tourists, Vietnam, is kept low-cost mainly because of the good exchange rate. Cheap lodging may come at a price between ₹1,500-3,000 per night, street meals can be as cheap as ₹150 and local transport is really affordable. You can visit lively Hanoi coffee shops, go on the idyllic limestone karsts cruise of Ha Long Bay, or trek through rice terraces, and all these amazing things are still very budget-friendly.
Paraguay
Paraguay is a hidden treasure in South America that offers great value to an Indian traveller, as the local currency is quite weak compared to the INR. While the cost of flights would be more than that of the neighbouring areas, your daily expenses like food, local travel, and accommodation make it one of the most economical Latin American destinations. Visit Asuncion for colonial architecture and Iguazu Falls to connect with nature at a price that is not too high, like in continents that are heavily touristed.
Hungary
Though Europe is mostly pricey, Hungary remains a destination where one could get more for their money. With the rate of one Indian Rupee to almost four Hungarian forints, the prices of several things become relatively moderate. In the city of Budapest, you have a chance to relax at thermal baths, explore historic architecture and enjoy lively cafés without the exorbitant prices found in Western Europe, making it the perfect spot for a "Europe on a budget" break.
Tanzania
If you love wildlife and nature, Tanzania is the perfect destination for you. Accommodation as well as local meals can be significantly cheaper than what most people anticipate. Local meals might be priced in the range of ₹250-400, and you could find cheap accommodations that would cost you around ₹2,000-5,000 per night at certain places. However, the price of a safari and a stay in a luxury lodge can still go up considerably, so you will get the best value if you mix your choice of location, accommodation, and travel style.
