6 Cheapest Holiday Destinations In Asia
Thinking of traveling to Asia but you're on a pretty tight budget? While you have to hop aboard a long flight halfway around the globe, there are plenty of Asian destinations that are worth your time and dime.
Take a look at some of the cheapest Asian holiday destinations we at GET.com have rounded up for you. The featured ｃountries are incredible and affordable for travelers with a small budget. It may be hard to believe but making the decision to visit these holiday spots will stretch your money just that more than if you were to visit other ｃountries in Asia such as South Korea, Japan, Hong Kong or Singapore.
1. India
Considered one of the cheapest places in the world to travel, India provides you with the opportunity to enjoy an exciting holiday without blowing your budget. Although there are many luxury hotels throughout India, there are also many inexpensive guest homes where you can stay for as little as $5 a night. You can also easily enjoy a tasty meal here for about a dollar or less, too. This culturally-dense ｃountry is home to some of the most unique sites in the world, including the Taj Mahal.
2. Vietnam
Vietnam is one of the least expensive ｃountries in Asia to travel. Travelers can enjoy staying in a mid-range hotel room in a large city for less than $30 per night. Take advantage of the opportunity to explore Vietnamese street food, and you can also easily keep your food budget to $10 or less per day and still eat quite well. During your time in Vietnam, enjoy some of the best beaches in the world. Not to mention, the beaches are usually pretty empty.
3. Indonesia
If you're looking for great value, it's hard to beat Indonesia. Located in Southeast Asia, Indonesia is home to many beautiful white sandy beaches and exciting outdoor activities, such as snorkeling, surfing, and scuba diving. Budget around $20 per night for accommodations in a decent budget hotel and another $15 per day for food and you'll do just fine.
4. Nepal
Plan a trip to Nepal, and you can easily keep your accommodations to about $10 per night, if you stay in a budget guest room. Eat well while dining on Nepalese dishes, such as dumplings stuffed with veggies or meat, known as momos, or lentils and rice, daal bhat. As a result of the earthquake that devastated much of the ｃountry in 2015, Nepal is heavily dependent on tourism, so you can usually get quite a lot for your money here.
5. Cambodia
Renowned for its jungles, ruins, and temples, Cambodia is also incredibly budget-friendly. Stay away from tourist traps, and you can eat quite well on a budget of around $10 per day while traveling in Cambodia.
While traveling there, be sure to visit one of the most well known architectural marvels in the world, Angkor Wat or purchase beautifully handcrafted items in one of the local markets for a fraction of what you would pay at home.
6. China
Expansive in size, China also has a reputation for offering cheap travel. Explore the The Great Wall of China, one of the wonders of the world, or explore the ｃountryside while keeping your travel budget to a minimum.
Everything from food to transportation to tourist attractions tends to be quite cheap in China. Even if you're on a tight budget, it is still possible to plan an exciting holiday getaway in Asia without spending a ton of money and without sacrificing your comfort or eating well.
