Youre almost broke and dont want to spend the remaining part of your salary on useless expenses. On the other hand, you scroll through your Facebook timeline and get to know how your colleagues, relatives, friends and Sharmaji ka beta are enjoying their vacation. Jealous much? You check your bank balance and all your dreams of vacationing abroad are shattered!

But dont worry! Even if you cant take a vacation abroad, there are some places in India which you should definitely travel even though you are almost broke.

We at TripHobo, have compiled a list of 10 such cheapest places in India which are Affordable but high on experience!

We all know that Amritsar is famous for the golden temple. But what we dont know is that Amritsar is a very affordable tourist destination for people like you and me, who are always broke! Take a holy dip and soak yourself in spiritual at the Harmandir Sahib Gurudwara. The gurudwara offers free accommodation for girls and charges some minimal amount from boys. Don't forget the lip smacking free langar! Devotionally and patriotically rich, Amritsar has it all to make it your ultimate weekend getaway. Visit Jallianwala Bagh and Wagah border to relive some historical moments.

Admit it! We all have dreamt of going on a road trip to Goa with our friends. But keeping the red Merc and seaside resort aside as shown in the film, getting and spending some quality time in Goa is very affordable. There are lot of hostels and homestays in Goa which will not be hard on your pocket. In addition, good Goanese thali will cost you not more than 100 bucks. And yes! You also get some low priced booze, too!

 

I'm not kidding! Auli is one of the most beautiful destinations in the world and can even put the already overrated Switzerland to shame. Adding to it, the hotels are very budget friendly and have some spectacular locales. If you've spared some money, then skiing in the Himalayan mountain ranges is a must do thing, when in Auli.

Trust me! When I watched Barfi for the first time, more than the film I was bowled over by the sheer beauty of this scenic hill station in India called Darjeeling. But my joy knew no bounds when I discovered that getting and staying here is far from being expensive. Pretty little hotels, cottages and home stays soaked in old world charm will not make a hole in your pocket. Also, you can binge on some deliciously made momos while sipping the ever popular Darjeeling tea. The ticket to the iconic toy train is very cheap and you can have the panoramic view of the hill station from the train itself.

If calm serene atmosphere along the snow-clad mountains excites you, then head straightaway to Mcleod Ganj which is also one the cheapest places to visit in India. Popular for the important Tsuglagkhang- Dalai Lama's temple, Mcleod Ganj is also known for its Buddhist culture and crafts. Perfect place to pause yourself while and experience some spiritual divinity, Mcleod Ganj has hotels, restaurants, cafes which are low on prices but high on quality.

Compared to its sister Goa, Gokarna is low on cost but high on offerings. Beautiful beaches, serene wellness centres and some breathtaking views, Gokarna has a lot to offer. There are also Yoga centers which you can visit at a very affordable price.

Hampi, already a UNESCO World Heritage is known for its architectural masterpieces, temples, and palaces.

One of the most beautiful places among the lot, Kasol should be on the top of your list if you are planning for a budget friendly vacation. Snow clad mountains, pine trees and some spectacular display of nature, Kasol has it all. Cheap cottages and hotels are in plenty in this place, keeping in mind the huge turnout of young tourists. The localities are hospitable and can even treat you with a meal, only if you're dignified enough!

This one is my personal favourite! A city which never sleeps. A city which has a something or the other to offer everyone. The city has some affordable hotels and lodges as per your convenience. Also, you can have a one time meal for less than 80 bucks. If not a meal, then the world famous Vada Pav will come to your rescue.
