Realistic Expectations for Your Travel Budget

It's essential to keep realistic expectations for your travel budget. Many people think they can visit Pushkar cheaply, but most travelers aren't comfortable with an extreme "shoestring" budget. Consider what you truly enjoy on vacation. Do you prefer resorts, vacation homes, or hostels? Is experiencing attractions and dining important to you? Your budget and itinerary will depend on your answers to these questions.

What Does It Mean to Be a Budget Traveler?

Although you may consider yourself a budget traveler, unless you're ready to cut out many creature comforts, you'll likely spend much more than the $14 per day that young budget travelers often get by on.

For backpackers, this tight budget typically involves staying in hostel dorms, eating at the cheapest eateries or fast food joints, using public transportation, and sticking to free attractions.

Luckily, Pushkar has plenty of hostels like Moustache Pushkar, Hotel Everest, and The Hosteller Pushkar. At these hostels, you can find affordable dorm beds and a vibrant social scene, but amenities tend to be quite limited.

Consequently, you should anticipate your daily budget to be closer to $34 per person, per day.
