- The cost of backpacking India can be rather inexpensive. I say 'can be' because it depends on your travel style.
Do you want to stay in the nice hotels, eat at the nice restaurants, and travel in the nice class of trains and buses? Or do you want to travel on a budget and utilize the cheaper options that are available?
Tip: Always check with random people about the correct price before you purchase something. Yes, this requires extra effort, but, you will generally save a lot of money because you know how much an item should cost.
So many times, especially in the tourist areas, Indian sellers try to cheat you out of a lot of money because they think you don't know the local price. Do your homework first, and then surprise them! :) Always ask someone who is not at all connected to the business that you want to make a purchase from.
Is India expensive to visit? No. If you live in a western or European country, generally, the cost of living in India is significantly lower than what you are used to - allowing you to travel for an extended period of time. But, there are expensive options with much higher standards.
I hope this helps!

I loved India so much!
I travelled India for 2 months - mostly north but some south and honestly it was so life changing.
India is probably the cheapest place I have ever travelled around :)
- I agree. It's A cool place!
Please do visit the South of India. It's really good. There's lots of places to visit and the people are really cool. As far as my opinion goes people down south do not cheat foreigners at least not as much as in the North, but that's just my opinion.
- I am in the south now 🙃
@@Edgesofearth how do you like it? Where are you now? You should definitely visit Kerala. By the way I'm from Bangalore so do visit here as well although there's not much to see here apart from a lot of traffic

Apne India mein sab kuchh achcha hai.
Tourist scams are happened everywhere not only in India.
Lekin sab log India ko bura kehte hain, aisa kyu
Also I noticed in Jaisalmer it was super cheap hostel prices but they generally expected you would book a camel safari with them to make the money up :P
- Yep!
#1 thing you forgot is to use rideshares like Uber or Ola. Most of the scamming and safety problems go away.
Love from India ❤️
They charge you more not just for AC but for more cleanliness, better seat, more space, better food and less people.
- Strange. Literally every time I got in to a taxi, or went to a hotel, they asked if I wanted A/C....and it was always a much higher price. I almost always declined.
Thanks good video great breakdown
Thanks for the info!
- 🤓😇👆
According to the Economist Intelligence Unit's 2019 Worldwide Cost of Living Survey , India is cheapest countries to live in the world because everything is subsidized by government. But it will not be the case for tourists but still it's cheap.
West india is expensive developed and while northeast will be very cheap and full of greenery. South in laidback peaceful tourist destination while north is adventurous. Northern most region is extremely cold and least populated part of india.
Traveling in india without using various APPS is a very bad decision for anyone.
super true! agree!! prices are similar in South India too!
i am from india... bro...
😁
North india...
- 😇😇
Genuine information. I'm from India, anyone wants to know more can ask me.
Good accurate advice. Take care of yourself.
Yes, u r correct
Awesome! Great info.✌️
- 🙌👍🤓
Your time is running out.. start living
I felt that
- 😇😇😇
Pushing 30 fo real. I’m so tired of America I need change fo real. India is so beautiful the beaches and the beautiful forest just breathtaking I can’t wait to visit there too💚
- Go go go! 🙌🙌
3 star hotel is recommended for your safety........
You may be interested to know, Brock is the Old Scots word for Badger.
- I knew that was the meaning of my name...but didn't know it was from scotland..🤔
Edges Of Earth I still occasionally here it used here. It may have come from the Norse, Viking, language or from the Gaelic, I don’t know but if I had to guess I suspect the former.
Anyway, really enjoy your content, sláinte!
Indian people also feel cheated from like that people but we are aware of price
Im curious - what Indian cities required you stay in a hotel? I stayed in hostels the entire time and loved them so much :D
- Surat was one, and also Dwarka.
@@Edgesofearth really!!!!!!! I am from surat and i dont know about it. Please provide more information about it.
- I only discussed what I know. Foreigners are required to stay in three-star and above, unfortunately. Zero freedom or choice. 😔
@@Edgesofearth i mean someone told you or you was not allowed to stay at some place or anything else?!
Bro do vist northeast india..it's a total different dimension with respect to india
- I did. Check my India playlist.
@@Edgesofearth am only finding north india's vlog..am sorry if it's there ..can u send me the link??

I stayed in Bihar for a while..
How about traveling costs from the us to India.
L Junior 700-1500$return flight depending on duration of flight and other factors such as holidays
Visit again in 2020
Welcome ♥️🇮🇳🥰
- I am already here 🙏🙏🙌
What's the cost of living compared to Cambodia?
- generally, prices are going to be quite similar.
but if you are a foreigner, then the prices will be extremely high in Cambodia. prices can often be increased in India if you are a foreigner as well, but not near as often as in cambodia
@@Edgesofearth hmm, I guess need to make local friends to do the shopping for you.
- Ehh, not really. a couple of people will try to cheat you and then you just simply say no and walk away, and then eventually someone else will offer you the correct price. the key is to know the local price before you try to buy anything. Just ask anyone standing nearby...or translate 😇
- Unless you want to visit cambodia. that's different. knowing the local price doesn't matter. Local people will refuse to give the normal price. That's what happened to me every single day, unfortunately.
@@Edgesofearth didn't know that.apent time in the Philippines and Thailand didn't have too much of a problem with that. May have paid the white tax a couple times but not often.
I really like you Brock. Please don't get too cocky about being able to take care of yourself. You just let your guard down and things can go to hell in a handbasket quickly! It's all fun and games - until the 👺 jumps out in front of you. Lots of nutjobs out there no matter what country you're in.
- Haha, yes, but i did feel particilarly safe in this country.
but yes, anything could go wrong at any time...i think it's just less likely in India :)
@@Edgesofearth bro you were in south india that's why...
if you go to east and north-east india then you will understand... 😁
@@rasyal9718 Rewatch the first 10 seconds of this video. You'll know where he was.
what do you think of dating in india? I am single and i know india is all about arranged marriages. One reason why i have not considered moving there but the cost of living is tempting
- Yeah, dating in india, as a male, is really difficult! The best chances you will have will be if you stay in the tourist areas...where people are a bit more westernized. The moment you get out of these areas, a man hanging out with a woman before marriage is super taboo.
Dating is definitely more difficult here than most other Asian countries. The culture is quite different.
Hey..who tells u that India is all about arranged marriages ?? As we give priority to our family thoughts in marriages doesn't mean that its a arranged marriage...it becomes love cum arranged marriages..got it ?
- About 99% of thr Indians I have spoke with (14 months of traveling), have all said this.
The only 1% were Indians who have been westernized by TV or traveling abroad.
At 2:10 you claim you can handle yourself at a 1 star hotel. Trust me man. I have a friend that went to India and he went to a 1 star hotel ( he’s acually a big guy and goes to the gym) he was jumped and robbed. Your not as safe as you think in India. 3 star or more is definitely a good rule to help avoid anything like this.
- it doesn't matter where I'm at, if the perpetrator has a gun or a knife, I will definitely not fight back.
It's pointless.
Without a weapon, they are definitely not getting my belongings.
You can watch a different video on my channel which talks about being robbed at knife point in Madurai.
I definitely stand by what I said. Without a weapon, it will be a bad day for the person who tries to attack me.
