We always complain about how expensive it is to even go abroad, let alone buy anything there. The States, the UK and a couple of other places have come to symbolise the world for us. While it's true that our currency is pretty weak, there's no denying that there are places you can go to and things you can see with our own desi rupaiya that will make you feel like a total king. Check out these places where you can get the best of those hallowed monies.
1. Belarus : 1 INR = 216 Ruble
The Ruble, which is the currency to this landlocked country, actually clocks in at 0.0058INR. That is quite a blessing, as you can soak in the culture in their museums and visit quaint and charming cafes at prices that seem like they're still in the Soviet era. There's lakes and forests and all kinds of other attractions, so just give up on your preconceived notions of Eastern Europe.
2. Pakistan : 1 INR = 1.58 Pakistani Rupee
Combine that currency difference with the fact that it is supported by the US dollar and you're in dreamland, at least in terms of food, petrol and things like snickers dark, which cost a bomb here. Real estate is also very affordable here.
3. Cambodia : 1 INR = 63.93 Riel
Cambodia's currency is basically 0.015INR to 1 Riel. Stay, food and drink is cheap plus the place is steeped in history and culture. Go to Angkor Wat and read Dancing in Cambodia by Amitav Ghosh before you go to understand just how beautiful the place really is.
5. Hungary : 1 INR = 4.22 Forint
Hungary has several options for staying in hotels for as low as Rs 700 a night - rooms which have a bed, tv and fridge, right in Budapest. Trains ply for nominal amounts and the place itself is beautiful, so go check it out quick.
