N.B: Before starting, I would like to give a short guide for first-time travellers. If you are an old player of the game, you can skip this segment.

The Travel Guide

  • Do not forget to do thorough research before visiting any place abroad.
  • After your research, make up your mind on how long you are going to travel.
  • It’s always recommended that the new travellers go with a travel agency, e.g. MakeMyTrip, Yatra, SOTC, Club Mahindra Holidays, Goibibo, Thomas Cook, Cox and Kings etc. It decreases your headache of booking rooms, cars, planning activities and allows you only to enjoy and enjoy. Besides, It is also safer.
  • Give attention to the paperwork for issuing passports.
  • Make extra copies (xerox) of all your necessary documents, including your photo id, tickets etc.
  • You will need to buy a sim card in the country you are visiting. Instead of buying a new sim, you can also recharge and change your connectivity plans accordingly. So, keep it in mind.
  • And lastly, don’t pack unnecessary things that will increase your packages.
  • Complete all doses of CoVid Vaccine before planning a trip.

With that said, let’s get into the list:

International Trips From India Starting at 25,000:

  1. Nepal

Kathmandu has always been one of the most charming places for adventurers and mountain lovers because the main attraction is Everest Base Camp (at an altitude of 5,364m). Planning a trip with your friends or adventure-loving partner would do more justice to this place than travelling with family, where elder members may find the tour exhausting. To trek to the Everest basecamp is not that difficult than it sounds.

Now, perhaps you’ve heard before that Cambodia is considered one of the cheapest foreign destinations to visit. If you are looking for a budget foreign destination to wander with your family, Cambodia can be a good choice. 

Angkor Wat, perhaps, needs no explanation !! If you are not aware of the history of Angkor Wat, just google it (of course, after reading this article 😂). However, to describe it in one word, I must mention, Angkor Wat (Buddhist temple) is the largest temple on Earth and the key attraction of Cambodia.

  • The Temple of Preah Vihear 
  • The Temple Zone of Sambor Prei Kuk

These all are the UNESCO world heritage sites, including Angkor Wat

Besides its historical richness, this country has some magnificent rock structures that have been naturally shaped. These structures will make you feel unearthly. The rock structures have formed due to the erosion of rocks by the wind. 

Selime monastery is one of those rock-cut places. Some weird structures and caves are there that will surprise you. Apart from that, you can explore the Open Air Museum, Love Valley, Imagination Valley, Twin Fairy Chimney etc.

You can have a bird’s eye view of the surreal valleys of Cappadocia from the Hot Air Balloon. Yes, the Hot Air Balloon ride is one of the best activities to consider in Cappadocia, Turkey.

  1. Bangladesh

Being the neighbouring city, Bangladesh perhaps needs no description. The capital city of Dhaka is gorgeous. And you can take a road trip (by bus) to reach Bangladesh from India. It also saves more money than a flight journey. 

In Dhaka, you might find yourself wandering through the city roads and doing window shopping. Anyway, you can visit Lalabag Fort, Ahsan Manzil Museum, National Zoo. If you have watched the movie Raazi or Bhuj, you should know that India helped Bangladesh during its Liberation War. You can witness the traces of the war in the Liberation War Museum in Dhaka !!

Another tourist attraction of Bangladesh is the man-made Kaptai Lake in Rangamati. You may enjoy the long sandy beach of Cox’s Bazar or Ratargul Swamp Forest in Sylhet. Sylhet, one of the best tourists attraction in Northeast Bangladesh, has many mesmerizing places, including the Green-water canal Lala Khal which comes from India.
