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 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.

Did you use the local sites or find girls at clubs?

This is outdated info IMO.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 lower when I went. Maybe timing matters.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try going midweek next time.

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

Excellent write-up. This is why this forum is the best resource out there.
