India — rainy season experience

Interesting but I think you overpaid. Try asking locals next time.

Planning my first trip to India and wanted the latest intel.

Specifically interested in:
1. Current price ranges
2. Best areas to base yourself
3. Safety concerns
4. Quality compared to Thailand?

Any recent reports appreciated. Thanks.

I was there in recently and prices were slightly higher. Spent about ${pick(["50","80","100","120","150"])}/day all-in.

My tip: Bring cash in small bills.
