Every amount in this table is an estimateestimate, derived from the World Bank price level for India rather than quoted by any seller.

How this is calculated

A US baseline of 90, 210 and 450 USD a day for the three tiers is multiplied by the price level of India (0.23048401137914248, World Bank 2025) and by a city-size factor of 1.1, then rounded to the nearest 5 dollars. Local amounts use the World Bank exchange rate of 87.1584483507393 INR to the dollar, rounded to two significant digits.

These are modeled estimates, not quoted prices. Read the full formula on the methodology page.

Where the money goes

At the budget level of $25 a day, most spending goes toward basic lodging, simple meals, and local transport, leaving little room for paid attractions or extras. The mid-range figure of $55 a day allows for a private room, restaurant meals, and some sightseeing, while the luxury tier of $115 a day covers more comfortable accommodations, restaurant dining for every meal, and multiple paid activities or private transport. Over a full week, these differences compound into totals of $175, $385, and $805 for budget, mid-range, and luxury travel respectively.

April, June, and July are the cheapest and quietest months to visit, coinciding with the hottest weather before the monsoon and the start of heavy rain once the monsoon arrives. Travelers willing to accept high heat or wet conditions can generally expect costs to sit at the lower end of these ranges during that period. All figures here are estimates based on typical spending patterns and should be treated as a planning guide rather than fixed prices.

Cheapest months by climate demand: Apr, Jun and Jul.
