“Travel allows the soul to relax.” But while the soul relaxes, pockets are often forced to take the pressure. Everyone wishes to travel but it is often not the easiest thing to do considering the financial obligations that each person might have. However, there are many destinations out there that will allow you to travel the world without hurting your bank accounts. Do not think for one second that ‘low budget’ means moderate destination. Each of these places is ethereal and as beautiful as they come. After all, wanderlust is not equal money lost.
1. Thailand
Beautiful beaches in Phuket, waterfalls in Chiang Rai, seas of Krabi, and Nightlife in Bangkok, there is absolutely nothing Thailand cannot offer. Located close to Myanmar, Thailand is every traveler’s dream. With accommodations prized at an ever low and a variety of cheap street food available everywhere, it makes well for a budget vacation. If you wish to travel to more than one city in Thailand then map your journey in a way that you can avoid long-distance internal travel. You can save on food as well by eating on the streets rather than in a restaurant. This is not only a budget-friendly option but something that will give you a more cultural intake of the place you are visiting.
2. Comoros
Located in the Indian Ocean, Comoros Island is one of the most gorgeous but less-traveled locations. The biggest advantage of travelling to the country is the currency. A budget of 10,000 rupees will have a value of 56,000 in Comoros. Meaning if you want a luxury stay, you can have it in Comoros at the lowest price possible. If you like being close to nature and are a beach person then Comoros is perfect for your trip.
3. Indonesia
A beautiful country of rich culture, full of must diverse locations, Indonesia is definitely a must-visit. While it has the much-hyped cities like Bali and Jakarta, it also flaunts the lesser-known places like Sumatra and Padang. To make this the deal of a lifetime, a flight from India to Indonesia can cost as low as 14,000. The accommodation is to die for. The Marriott will only can 5000 per night in Jakarta and if that is not the best deal out there and who knows what is.
4. Romania
Most of us do not hear Romania’s name until it is taken with the Vampire. Romania is full of lush grasslands and gives the tourists a peek into what medieval European culture looks like. If you want to visit a European destination that is not heavily priced like France and Italy then Romania is worth a look. With both accommodation and flights moderately priced there is not much that your pocket should fear in Romania.
5. Malaysia
The sea-food paradise and the perfect combination of modern-day civilization with the gifts of nature, Malaysia is a backpacker’s dream. With rich street food and night markets, Malaysia satisfies both foodies and shopaholics. Internal travel in Malaysia is also comparatively cheap so you can choose to move from one city to another while there. It has one of the most bio-diverse forest and sea lives and an abundance of adventurous activities. Malaysia can provide everything and that too at incomparable prices.
6. Russia
That might come as a surprise but a combined flight to Russia costs as low as 25000. However, there are not many who are aware of what this country can offer to its tourist. Saint Petersburg is full of art history and night ballets. Moscow has stunning architecture. Olkhon Island is a beach paradise and Lake Baikal is an otherworldly hiking destination. Expensive hotel chains like Hilton cost as less as 4000Rs a night in Russia and lower prices are easily available. So are you a traveler looking for an affordable Europe tour then Russia is worth a shot.
7. Taiwan
