Alright, alright, let me tell ya about this India trip thing. People keep askin’, “How much it gonna cost?” Well, honey, it ain’t a simple answer, ya know? Like askin’ how long’s a piece of string. But I’ll give ya the lowdown, best I can.
First off, gettin’ there. That’s the big one. If you’re comin’ from, say, that Nigeria place, gotta fly. Heard it’s ₹30,000 to ₹90,000. That’s a lotta rupees! Don’t know how much that is in real money, but it sounds like a heap. Fastest way too, they say, 14 hours or somethin’. Long time to be sittin’ on your behind.
- Flyin’ costs a bunch, remember that.
Now, once you’re in India, gotta have money, right? They use somethin’ called Rupees. “INR” they call it. Said one dollar gets ya 82.88 of them Rupees. December 2022, that was. Who knows now. Prices change like the weather. You can swap your money at the airport, they say. Probably best, get it over with.
Then there’s stayin’ somewhere. Can’t sleep on the street, can ya? Hotels or guesthouses, gotta pay. And eatin’. Everyone’s gotta eat. Food costs money, even in India. Plus, gettin’ around. Buses, trains, rickshaws, whatever they got. All adds up.
Someone told me a week in India, for one person, is ’bout $320. That’s like, 27,006 Rupees. For two people, double it. $640 or somethin’. That’s supposed to cover where ya sleep, what ya eat, and seein’ the sights. Two weeks? Double that again. $640 for one, $1,280 for two. Lots of numbers, makes my head spin.
But listen, these are just guesses, ya know? Like throwin’ darts in the dark. You could spend more, you could spend less. Depends on how fancy you wanna be. Stay in a palace, gonna cost ya. Eat at fancy restaurants, gonna cost ya. Wanna buy lots of stuff? Gonna cost ya.
They say use those “travel cards,” somethin’ called Wise. Says they give ya a fair deal on changin’ your money. No sneaky fees, they say. Maybe worth lookin’ into. Saves ya gettin’ ripped off.
So, bottom line, how much does a trip to India cost? It depends. Flyin’ is the big expense. Then it’s how you live once you’re there. Cheap and cheerful, or fancy and expensive? Your choice. Just be smart with your money, ya hear? Don’t go throwin’ it around like confetti.
And remember, India’s a big place. Lots to see, lots to do. Plan ahead a bit, figure out what you wanna see. Don’t just wander around like a lost sheep. And bargain! Don’t be afraid to haggle. They expect it, ya know?
Anyways, that’s all I got. Hope it helps ya figure out your trip. Just remember, it ain’t gonna be free. But it might be worth every penny.
