Quick question for the India regulars — has anything changed in the last few months?
I was there last year and had a great time but I've heard some crackdowns happened.
Worth going back or should I try somewhere new?
Cheers
Is India worth visiting?

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try going midweek next time.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

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

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

This is outdated info IMO.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

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