Included in Price

• All breakfasts, three lunches and five dinners included. Budget at least 850 Indian rupees (US$10) per person per day for lunch/dinner in the city or en-route (Veg & Non-Veg meals). You can eat out very cheaply in India, but if you go to the more expensive restaurants, you will spend more than the suggested amount. In a lot of towns, there is a choice of restaurants and a selection between Indian and Western foods; however, this is not always the case. If you are vegetarian, India is probably one of the best destinations to travel to. Tea and soft drinks are very cheap. A large bottle of beer is approximately 420 rupees (US$5). Mineral water is widely available. In a typical restaurant you can expect to pay approximately 20 Indian rupees (US$0.25) for bottled water (1 litre), 50 Indian rupees (US$0.60) for tea, and 100 Indian rupees (US$1.20) for coffee.
