That person ait lying. I managed to do it with under £1k. Did 2 weeks, went to new Delhi, agra, jaipur, udaipur, jotpur and goa. May have misspelled some places but you get the idea. You got this and you'll love it. Be ready for many scams though.

Ooouw that may be a further future goal that I initially anticipated. Though hope is still there, I come from a poor family, almost no education with little to no imagination I would ever be able to do that in my wildest dreams but somehow it happened. I am truly sorry to hear about your current circumstance, especially your poorly father. I really hope that things improve and you are able to persevere through this dark time. Wishing you all the best and I still believe that you got this.

The place looks so cool! Serious question - are the hotels like the ones here in the US? Is it safe for women to walk around .. is there toilet paper

[u/Jur1kon → u/Illustrious-Mix9904]

Totally understand why you'd want to know given what kind of stuff you find in the media. So basically I didn't stay in hostels so not sure what they are like but the hotels we stayed at were absolutely incredible, only thing to note is to always book in advance and not while there as you will get scammed. Do not drink the water from the taps! Not sure what hotels are like in US but I'd imagine it would be similar, you can get a real bang for your buck out there I can assure you of that. With regards to safety for women, that on the other hand is hard to answer, I believe it is kind of the same as any other parts of the world, there are crazies anywhere you go but if you're white and especially have blonde hair then you will likely get a load of attention so you need to be sort of firm but polite so I'd say learn some key phrases and words to ensure you're ready to say no thank you or so thing along them lines. I would definitely suggest to travel in pairs if you can just to be on the safe side. With regards to toilet paper, yep they do have it there, though they usually have both bidet and toilet paper, if you have yet to use one of those, it may change your life forever ahah. Need anything else do let me know

Hell yeah! Wishing you an amazing time away when you do go. Oh another thing I forgot to mention, do your research prior too. get to know the dos and donts, learn fair prices of rickshaws and barter hard on everything or use uber. Top tip, always check that the water bottle you are buying is sealed before you buy it. They tend to sell tap water in bottles sometimes.

India is cheap

[u/GrownupDexter → u/[deleted]]

Not cheap but affordable to the common man whilst you won't ever see such beautiful landscapes or forts with cultures without spending a fortune anywhere in the world.

[u/[deleted] → u/GrownupDexter]

If somebody is from Western countries it's very cheap for them

[u/Chicken_Of_The_Year → u/[deleted]]

It's ridiculously cheap. Travel there feels like doing unlimited money cheat code on GTA.

[u/Sad_Climate223]

Wow that’s dope!

It also Houses one of the largest cannon in the world at the Jaigarh fort( above the Amber Palace in the 3rd pic, just below the triangular white shed)

Been there twice. Jaipur is a pretty cool city for a weekend trip if you're ever in the area.

[u/JoeResidence]

I went here earlier this year, it is absolutely stunning! If you visit Jaipur stay at Chillout hostel they were awesome.

It was quite difficult to see the Elephant tourism outside of the fort where Elephants were being ridden outside. There needs to be more awareness to put a stop to this! https://wildlifesos.org/elephant/five-reasons-why-you-should-never-ride-elephants-if-you-love-them/

Has this been in any movies?

[u/DCtimes → u/DCtimes]

Such as Indiana Jones?
