Quick question for the India regulars — has anything changed in the last few months?
I was there 6 months ago and had a great time but I've heard prices have gone up.
Worth going back or should I try somewhere new?
Cheers

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the pandemic. Current prices are higher than what's described here.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try using a different site next time.

What was your total spend roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

Adding my experience from February.
The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more competition.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were higher when I went. Maybe timing matters.

I'd also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.
