Quick question for the India regulars — has anything changed in the last few months?
I was there in 2024 and had a great time but I've heard prices have gone up.
Worth going back or should I try somewhere new?
Cheers

I'd also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.

This is outdated info IMO.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

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

Adding my experience from February.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more competition.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try negotiating next time.
