Are You Planning to Travel Abroad Without Hurting Your Wallet?

traveller Akriti

Cheapest countries to travel from India are far more than most of us realize. And as somebody who started out traveling on a budget since age 17, I’d love to suggest the most affordable travel places for Indian visitors this year.

Cheapest Countries to Travel from India that will Surprise You!

Start scrolling –

ICELAND – The Backpacking Gem for Week Long Travel!

Most people assume that Iceland is expensive. But what they don’t realise is that if backpacking is adapted as a norm, travel costs are significantly reduced for an Indian traveller. 

The average cost of travelling to Iceland alone from India for at least a week amounts to about 49,000 INR. This includes flights, accommodation, sightseeing and food.

MOLDOVA – Beautiful Yet Unheard of By Budget Travelers!

Moldova is unheard of by most Indian travellers despite being an extremely beautiful European country. Not to forget, super cheap. If you can book flights on time, you can reduce your average trip cost.

The average cost of travelling to Moldova alone from India for at least a week amounts to about 36,500 INR. 

HUNGARY – Shockingly Cheap for Indian Visitors!

One of my first most affordable international trips was to Hungary. Ever since I’ve advocated for more and more people to travel to this wonderful European nation.

The average cost of travelling to Hungary alone from India for at least a week amounts to about 48,000 INR.

BHUTAN – Close Neighbour Offering Nominal Sightseeing & Stay!

What can be better than a country so close to India, so safe and so cheap? Bhutan is one of the cheapest countries to travel from India.

The average cost of travelling to Bhutan alone for 20 good days amounts to less than 20,000 INR and to 0 INR if you travel there as a volunteer. Yes that is correct – 100% free travel.

PHILIPPINES – Vast Treasure Land of Pretty Locales and Cheap Wallets!

The Philippines lies in the Indian Ocean and is a vast treasure house of pretty locales. If you can keep a tab on discounts offered by SkyScanner and Air Asia, you’ll end up saving a lot of money.

The average cost of travelling to Philippines alone for 10 good days amounts to 24,000 INR. You can reduce this cost even more if you travel as a group.

MACEDONIA – Earn Credit Miles for Europe’s Balkan Peninsula!

Located in the Balkan peninsula, Macedonia is a gorgeous European nation. If you can earn a decent amount of credit miles on flights, travelling to Macedonia can actually be the cheapest in Europe.

The average cost of travelling to Macedonia alone for 8 days amounts to 33,000 INR. Travel in pairs of two and get this cost further down.

KYRGYZSTAN – Wor Destination that is Light on your Pocket!

When I first travelled to Kyrgyzstan, little did I know that I will end up loving the nation so much. It is an underrated nation in terms of travel and cost. Please go explore it and buy some really cool souvenirs from Bishkek.

The average cost of travelling to Kyrgyzstan alone for 10 days is 27,000 INR. Flights start as low as 15K INR. Just pick your dates wisely.

CHILE – Far yet Close to Heart of Indian Budget Travelers!

Chile is one South American nation that you would want to visit again and again. I cannot even begin to describe its magnificence. Chile as a nation is very affordable. The only thing to watch out for is flight costs.

I highly insist that you keep a tab on Sky Airlines Monday Sales and use a travel reward point credit card. That way, a 10 day trip to Chile will cost you about 28,700 INR.

TOGO – Ideal for Affordable Solo Travel by Indian Backpackers!

Togo is a small nation in Western Africa but is a must visit for budget Indian travellers.In fact it is one of the cheapest countries in Africa. While here, observe the native black magic and voodoo practices.

The average cost of travelling to Togo alone for 10 days is 22,000 INR. You can avoid flights here by landing in another nation and then entering via road.

BENIN – African Wonder and Low Priced for Indian Travelers!

Anybody visiting Togo should certainly visit Benin. They lie back to back in Western Africa. The terrain is more or less the same and so are the travel costs.

The average cost of travelling to Benin alone for 10 days is 22,000 INR. 

MALAWI – Safe, Cheap and Super Fun!

Malawi is safe, cheap, and fun for Indian travellers. The people here are hospitable and welcoming. It’s sad that not many Indians keep Malawi on their travel bucket list.

The average cost of travelling to Malawi alone for 8 days is 31,000 INR. Indians can now avail the facility of Visa on Arrival (VOA) here.

CAMBODIA – One of the Aesthetic and Cheapest Countries to Travel for Indians!

No other Asian country has offered me as low prices as Cambodia has especially in terms of flights. It took me just 5500 INR for one side travelling from Bangalore to Phenom Penn, Cambodia.

Since flights are so cheap, you can easily stay in Cambodia for a good 30 days in less than 15,000 INR. It is surely one of the cheapest countries to travel from India.

MALDIVES – Island Nation Offering Budget Trips for Indian Wnderlust Lovers!

Indian travellers are quite fascinated by Maldives. However, they almost always end up spending more money. Resort to backpacking and reduce your travel costs in this beautiful island country.

Remember, every year more and more budget stays are being taken down in Maldives and expensive resorts are coming up. So travel to Maldives for less than 35,000 INR for 10 days before it becomes a luxury destination.

CROATIA – Ideal Budget Location for Game of Thrones Fans!

If you’re a Game of Thrones fan please put Croatia on your travel bucket list. Even if you’re not, go visit. It’s a lovely country and lots of airlines offer ticket sales throughout the year.

The average cost of travelling Croatia from India for 7 days amounts to about 64,000 INR including everything. Travel as a group of 4 and get this cost down.

SERBIA – Quite Nation and at Heart’s Delight to Indian Travelers!

Serbia is quite an underrated travel destination. I highly insist that more Indian travellers should visit it. It’s a lovely nation with warm and welcoming people.

The average cost of travelling to the mainstream as well as offbeat locales in Serbia for a period of 1 week amounts to 43,000 INR. By the way, if you’re a non-conforming traveller, try couch surfing in Serbia. You’ll save all the money on accommodation and compensate for flights.

VIETNAM – Greenest, Cheapest Country to Travel from India This Year!

Vietnam is one of the best South East Asian countries to take a backpacking trip. This includes solo travel for both men and women. This region is one of the cheapest countries to travel from India.

The average cost of travelling to Vietnam from India for a month’s time will amount to about 29,000 INR if you’re a strict budget traveller and to about 37,000 INR if you prefer some kind of luxury. This cost is inclusive of visa, airfare, food, transport, sightseeing and accommodation.

MYANMAR – The Land of Pagodas and Sights!

As an Indian, you are allowed to travel to Myanmar via road. This is possible through Manipur’s capital city – Imphal. In order to reach Imphal, either travel from Guwahati (Assam’s capital) by plane or even by train.

A 15 day trip to Myanmar from India will cost you not more than 21,000 INR if you choose to travel either as a group of 4 people or at least 2 people. Accommodation is expensive in Myanmar. So share rooms and get that price down.

NICARAGUA – A Locale for Couchsurfing and Connect!

Located at a distance of 15,000+ Kms from India, the Central American country of Nicaragua is not very popular among Indian travellers as of now. However, you should put it on your bucket list because it’s worth a visit.

I highly suggest that you couch surf in Nicaragua and compensate for flight costs. If you want to understand the concept of traveller trust building behind Couchsurfing, do read this in depth study by Jun.E.Tan  based out of Wee Kim Wee School of Communication & Information, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.

 A 7 day trip to Nicaragua from India will cost around 53,000 INR.

JAMAICA – The Ideal Winter Hub for Affordable International Travel from India!

Fun, frolic, beaches and parties – are the 4 things that highlight Jamaica as a country. Try planning a trip to Jamaica when India undergoes its winter season. At that time of the year, Jamaica is pleasant, accommodation is super cheap and flights have their fares cut down.

A 10 day Jamaica trip from India will cost a budget traveller about 71,000 INR. A bulk of this cost exists because most flights go via the US. So if you can find an alternative route, you can get this cost lowered to 58,000 INR.

EGYPT – Explore Pyramids with Reduced Travel Costs!

I’ve been to Egypt thrice in my life and still haven’t gotten over this beautiful country. Egypt is a treasure nation of surprises when it comes to travel and is way more progressive than people assume it to be.

An 8 day trip to Egypt will cost you about 68,000 INR. This includes the visa and airfare as well. You know, the longer you stay in Egypt, the more money you’ll be able to save because the accommodation owners will get their costs significantly down.

ALBANIA – The European Beauty Inviting Indians During Autumn Months!

Compared to most parts of popular Europe, Albania is quite cheap and affordable for Indian travellers. During the offseason, the flight costs get reduced to as low as 17,600 INR. So I feel more Indian travellers should start tripping here.

The average cost of travel from India to Albania for at least 7 days amounts to around 46,200 INR. This is inclusive of everything.

UZBEKISTAN – One of the Most Colourful Cheapest Countries to Travel from India!

Each time I write about Uzbekistan, I get nostalgic. It is by far the most welcoming nation I’ve ever been to as an Indian. It’s a beautiful and varied nation with so much to explore. By the way, Uzbeks love Bollywood music. While in Uzbekistan, you cannot miss out on these 19 rare souvenirs to take back home from there .

If you plan a 30 day trip to Uzbekistan from India, it’ll cost you around 64,000 INR. If you plan a 10 day trip, it’ll cost you around 27,000 INR. 

MALAYSIA – Backpack for 10 Days to Asia’s Business Fulcrum!

I see a lot of travellers being ripped for their money to fly to Malaysia. But trust me, you don’t need all the hassle. You can actually travel for much less. Malaysia is a kickass country for explorers. Go see it.

A 10 day backpacking trip to Malaysia from India should not cost you more than 24,000 INR. Don’t go by the travel agent or tour package route. Plan your trip yourself.

CZECH REPUBLIC – Club it With Other Nominal European Destinations!

The Czech Republic proves to be a lot cheaper if you’re already travelling to Europe on a Schengen Visa. That way, you don’t pay for flights again and again. The entry fee of most places in almost every major city in the Czech Republic is free. This is such a good thing for budget travellers.

The average cost of travelling to the Czech Republic for a week excluding flights amounts to only 22,000 INR.

LEBANON – Save on Flights & Travel from India Light!

Lebanon is one country where somehow the flights from India are cheap but the country is a tad bit expensive otherwise. However, the good thing is that 1 INR = 21 Lebanese Pounds and so you still get to travel cheap.

A 6 day trip to Lebanon will amount to about 58,000 INR from India. The way you get this cost down is if you choose to bunk in hostels, eat at low tax dining places and walk more than use cabs.

ETHIOPIA – African Magical Country Waiting to be Tripped!

Ethiopia was the first African nation I visited. This was a few years back. Now, Ethiopia has been trying to welcome tourists by offering better facilities and hence recently they have started imposing tourist tax on certain things. However, Ethiopia is still way cheaper for Indians than most other African countries.

A 1 week trip to Ethiopia from India will amount to 43,160 INR, assuming that you have a pre-planned itinerary.

AZERBAIJAN – Pre Plan in Advance and Get Going Before Winters!

Azerbaijan is such an amalgamation of modernity and times gone by. It’s a very culturally rich place and welcomes travellers with open arms. It’s very affordable as a travel nation for Indians.

A 10 day trip to Azerbaijan from India will cost the average backpacker not more than 27,000 INR. Travel insurance is mandatory in Azerbaijan.

The average cost of visiting Sao Tome and Principe from India for a good 14 days amounts to about 51,200 INR. Try to go cycling around locales here. Else, you can even try hitchhiking. 

GHANA – Pretty African Country Making International Travel Easy for Indians!

If there’s one place that I underestimated a lot before actually visiting there is Ghana for sure. I could have never imagined that this nation is so welcoming and pretty.

In fact, one trip isn’t enough for exploring this huge island. There’s just so much more to see. The best part is that the island doesn’t have mass tourism and therefore a lot of places are still offbeat.

An 8 day backpacking trip will to Madagascar from India costs you about 47,000 INR. Personally, I would pay a lot more to be a part of the lovely island life here.

COSTA RICA – Explore Volcanoes and Rare Landscapes without Feeling the Financial Burden!

Costa Rica is quite popular with American and European travellers but is now fast catching up with Indian travellers as well. The country is flooded with volcanoes and national parks that are a must visit for travellers.

For a 7 day trip to Costa Rica, an Indian backpacker will have to roll out around 23,400 INR. However, this excludes the flights. Since flights here as of now are expensive, I highly insist that you club Costa Rica with around 2 more Central American countries to make those flight costs worth it.

Morocco is a country of enchantment and elegance. It’s replete with colour – be it in the natural landscapes or in the many souks (markets) selling fragrant spices.

International Travel: Money-Saving Tips

When it comes to saving money on your international travels, here are some valuable tips to keep in mind:

• Ditch the Travel Agency Packages : Avoid booking packages from travel agencies as they often inflate costs. Instead, find deals online and explore countries on your own, allowing you more control over your budget. Additionally, making friends with locals can lead to insider tips and cost-saving opportunities.
• Timing is Key : Plan your trip one month before or a few weeks after the peak season in your chosen country. This way, you can take advantage of lower prices and save a few bucks.
• Embrace Local Experiences : Opt for local food and explore local transportation options rather than relying on taxis everywhere. This not only allows you to immerse yourself in the culture but also helps you save money on dining and transportation expenses.
• Consider Local SIM Cards : Instead of purchasing other country SIM cards while still in India, look for cheaper options at local shops in your destination. Often, you can find SIM cards with one-week validity at reasonable prices. Alternatively, activating international roaming can result in higher costs.
• Avoid Airport Currency Exchange : Steer clear of exchanging currency at airports, as the conversion rates are typically less favorable. For better rates, consider exchanging currency at a bank before your trip or upon arrival.

7 thoughts on “13 best places to visit outside india – under 6 hours flight”.

Wow! I loved your list. I have travelled to Singapore & Dubai. Looking forward to visit other destinations too. Thailand, Malaysia, Hong Kong &Vietnam I want to explore.

I wanted to drop a comment to express my appreciation for your blog post on the “13 Best Places to Visit Outside India – Under 6 hours flight.” Your detailed description of each destination made it easy for me to plan my next vacation. After reading about the Maldives, I am now inspired to plan a trip. Thank you for sharing your travel experiences and recommendations.

This is indeed a very intelligent list that you have compiled. Would come handy to anyone with budget or time constraints. I would also suggest Bangladesh. Barely an hour from Kolkata, this country has a lot to offer in terms of nature, history, crafts, weaves, food and culture in general.

I’ve been to 3 out of the list and going to Thailand in June. I always prefer near by destinations than far off as I get too bugged to sit for long hour flights. I would also recommend Oman in the near by destination as it’s one of the beautiful places to be.

These are great short trip options. Now that we have covered all of them, it’s an issue which quick getaway is on our list for family travel! I mean when you are traveling with kids and elderly parents, you don’t want to spend 15 hours on a flight with a 4 hour stopover. Can you list some other options too under 6 hour radar?

I must say your post on the best places to visit outside India under 6 hours is an incredible piece of work. Your vivid descriptions of each destination, accompanied by breathtaking pictures, made me feel as if I were already there. I appreciate your effort in making it an informative and enjoyable read.

I had recently visited Maldives, and although the experience of staying at a resort island was out of the world, the local island Hulhumale was charming as well.
