Been thinking about visiting India and wanted to get the latest intel from those who've been recently.

Specifically interested in:
1. Current price ranges
2. Best areas to base yourself
3. Any safety concerns
4. How's the quality compared to Colombia?

Any recent trip reports would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I was there in February and prices were exactly as described.

Spent about $61/day all-in. Quality was excellent.

My tip: midweek is golden hour.

Adding my experience from last month.

The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality overall.

Agreed on all points. Make sure to get a local SIM.

This is outdated info IMO.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

Quick question — how was the hotel security?

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

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

I'd also recommend downloading WhatsApp before you go. Essential.
