Other budgets from Bengaluru

Spend less

Making ₹40,000 go further

Book trains early
IRCTC opens bookings 60 days ahead, and sleeper and 3AC berths on popular routes sell out weeks before long weekends. Tatkal opens a day before, at a higher fare.
Travel overnight
An overnight train or sleeper bus saves a night's stay and a day of travel, which is how most of the trips under ₹10,000 work.
Go midweek
Rooms in hill stations and beach towns often cost 30–50% less from Sunday to Thursday than at weekends.
Share the room
These estimates assume two people sharing a double room. Travelling solo, budget a little more for stays, or use hostels.

Questions

Budget trips from Bengaluru: FAQs

Which of these trips from Bengaluru costs least?

Sikkim: about ₹25,750 per person for 5 days (₹19,000–32,500), including return travel (flight to Bagdogra, then a 4-hour shared jeep), stays, food and local transport.

Do these costs include travel from Bengaluru?

Yes. Each total includes the return journey from Bengaluru by the mode shown, plus stays, food, local transport and entry fees for the number of days given. Flights and peak-season stays can cost more, so book early for long weekends.

How are these costs worked out?

They're typical per-person estimates in rupees for one person sharing a double room, estimated in October 2026. The lower figure is a careful budget (sleeper class, simple guesthouses, local food); the higher one is more comfortable. They aren't live prices; check fares before you book.

What if I'm travelling solo?

Budget a little more for stays, since you won't be splitting a room, or use hostels and dorms, which many of these places have. Travel and food cost about the same.
