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
Across the three tiers, the daily estimates of $25, $55, and $115 reflect how much of the budget goes toward lodging quality versus food and transport choices. At the budget level, spending stays concentrated on basic guesthouse rooms, simple local meals, and shared or public transport. As the tiers rise to $55 and $115 per day, more of the spending shifts toward sit-down restaurant meals, private transport, and paid attractions, which is why the weekly totals climb from $175 to $385 and $805.
The cheapest and quietest stretch of the year falls in June, July, and August, the months marked as off-season, when demand for accommodation and services tends to be lower. This period also brings the heaviest rain, including 491mm in July and 348mm in August, so lower prices come with a trade-off in weather. All figures listed here, including the cost items, are estimates rather than fixed prices and can vary by choice of neighborhood, season, and individual spending habits.
Cheapest months by climate demand: Jun, Jul and Aug.
