Like Nepal, another beautiful neighbouring country for Indians to travel to without budget hindrances is Sri Lanka, due to its blend of culture and history, apart from the amazing coastline amidst the Indian Ocean. In cities like Colombo, Galle and Kandy, you can explore temples, beaches, tea plantations and wildlife reserves without having to spend much on accommodation, travel or food.

Vietnam

A rising number of Indian tourists opt for Vietnam as their perfect getaway because of its affordable delicacies, low-cost accommodations, and cheap transportation in popular cities like Hanoi, Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh. Vietnam presents a rich and diverse experience for tourists without stretching their budgets.

Thailand

With its calming beaches, scenic locations, spiritual temples and buzzing nightlife, Thailand has been attracting Indian tourists for several years now. It is another affordable and accessible foreign destination for Indian travellers, offering cheaper flights, a visa on arrival, low-cost accommodation and a range of pocket-friendly eating spots.

Those looking to break away from their busy and taxing routine, Laos is the place to be in due to its slow, peaceful way of life.

While the visa is offered on arrival, travelling to Laos also has very low daily costs involved as an Indian tourist.

If booked in advance, flights to Bali can be found at surprisingly affordable prices. Once in Indonesia, Indian travellers can expect to see scenic rice fields, waterfalls, ancient temples and sunny beaches. All that without losing too much on travel, food and staying facilities.
