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 things are quieter than usual.
Worth going back or should I try somewhere new?
Cheers

I'd also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.

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

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

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

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

Not sure I agree about that area. I found downtown to be better value.
