  1. I’m not an Indian but I visited all of these destinations and I agree, all of them can be covered in under one lakh. You did a great job of finding some great budget destinations for Indians. keep up the great work

  2. All these destinations are relatively affordable, except perhaps for the UAE. That place is really expensive; one lakh won’t cut it. You should also add our country, the Philippines. It’s quite affordable here as well. Personally, we are interested in doing a Southeast Asian tour on some of the countries here. SEA is definitely within our budget.

  3. Indonesia is my favourite inexpensive destination! I’ve been to most of these places and Thailand is usually one of the first countries an Indian visits, thanks to the cheap flights as well as visa free on arrival these days. The UAE (that’s where I live now) is also one of the most popular destinations to visit for most Indians. In fact, Indians make for the highest tourist population here, along with Chinese. I can’t believe I haven’t been to Hong Kong yet!
