02 April 2024

May is the perfect time to travel and explore new destinations outside India and take a break from our mundane routine. If you are planning an international trip this May, there are several destinations you can choose from based on your budget. Planning an international holiday from India can be an unforgettable experience, but it is important to factor in the various costs involved to ensure a stress-free vacation. If the cost of the trip is beyond your budget, a personal loan can help fund the holiday expenses.

The cost of an international holiday depends on several factors, such as your choice of destination, airline, accommodation, activities, and travel season. For example, it is wise to book flights and accommodation well in advance for cheaper rates. Additionally, key expenses like food, transportation, and sightseeing tours should also be considered while creating a holiday budget. For popular destinations like Japan, Spain, and South Africa, the cost of a round trip from India can range from Rs. 30,000 to Rs. 60,000 per passenger depending on the airline and time of booking.

Accommodation pricing varies according to type and location, with prices ranging from Rs. 2,000 to Rs. 20,000 per night. Travel expenses can cost around Rs. 3,000 to Rs. 7,000 per day while additional activities can increase the total trip cost significantly. Personal loans provide the necessary funds and give you the flexibility to repay over time with interest. Moreover, personal loans enable borrowers to have a comfortable holiday without worrying about immediate payment.
