THUMB RULE 1 keep in mind, when you walk into a new city every seller is out there to extract the maximum out of you (that includes your taxi drivers, hotel bills, restaurant bills, watch out for pick pockets etc). And if you are a foreign national you'd be overcharged for everything starting with a matchbox.
THUMB RULE 2 Learn the art of bargaining and always be on guard. Planning the financial aspects of your trip and figuring out how much money you are going to need is an important part of any backpacking experience. By crunching some numbers, you will have a better idea about how much money you need to save up to make your trip possible. A financial plan is essential for the success of your trip. Your travel budget should be considered long before you leave. Knowing approximately how much money you will need gives you an idea about how much you will need to save. You must set a goal well in advance so that it can be reached by the time of your departure. Planning ahead for your budget isn't very difficult. Consider the following expenses:
. Airline/Railway/Bus ticket . Transportation in and around the country . Accommodations . Food . Sight-seeing and museums . Incidental expenses
PLANNING YOUR BUDGET To figure out how much money you will need, you must first consider where it that you are traveling to is. Most of India is inexpensive, but there are places that will be a little heavy on your pocket. Mumbai, somewhere in Delhi, and Chandigarh are some of the expensive places. On the flip side, you can live and travel in parts of Rajasthan for a couple of hundreds a day.
Next, break down your expenses into two parts the initial costs and daily costs. Initial costs include your airline ticket, your backpack, hostel card, guidebook and all other equipment that you have to purchase before leaving.
Do you already have some or all of this stuff? Can you try to borrow any of it from your friends? If so, you have started saving money already.
If you are headed towards the Metropolitan cities, an ISIC pass would also be a wise initial expense for students as it can get you great discounts on your food, travel and local attractions.
The next thing to be considered is for how many days you will be away. Obviously, the longer your trip, the more money you would be needed.
Now that your initial expenses have been planned out you can look forward and figure out roughly how much will you be spending on the following each day: food, accommodation, sight seeing and transportation.
