A go-to guide to travelling cheap
INDONESIA

Indonesia offers many enchanting wonders, from the lush jungles of Bali to the vibrant streets of Jakarta. If getting good value for your money when travelling abroad is an important factor, Indonesia is one of the most attractive options. At the time of writing, INR 1 equals IDR 193, meaning Indians can enjoy more spending power in Indonesia.

According to Numbeo, a cost of living database that collects data from around the world, a three-course meal for two in a mid-range restaurant in Indonesia would cost around INR 1,298. In addition, a bottle of local beer at a bar would be around INR 150 to 200, and a regular cappuccino would cost you about INR 160.

TOP ATTRACTIONS

Explore ancient temples in Prambanan and the world's biggest Buddhist sanctuary, Borobudur. Witness rare coral species in the Raja Ampat Islands and incredible marine life in the Nusa Islands. Hike through rainforests and rice paddy fields in Ubud and admire Dutch colonial architecture in Belitung. And it's all very pocket-friendly. At the Bali Safari and Marine Park, encounter about 400 wildlife species and enjoy the adventure for around INR 4,000. Embark on a night trek to Mount Batur, an active volcano, for an unforgettable sunrise experience for around INR 2,000. Book a whitewater rafting trip on the Ayung River in Ubud for an exhilarating adventure for around INR 3,500.
