trips like this are fun every once in a while....every year in october i get together with 4 friends of mine from school & we take one of these cheap trips to some destination in india....the point is to re-live our old school days when we had no money so our budget for the whole trip is inr 15k (a little over $200) per person....the trip lasts 4-5 day max with cheap airfare & lodging....we wouldn't venture out in a snowy area with no heat though & have been fortunate enough to not encounter indian toilets so far....
