From parathas in Chandni Chowk to kebabs at Jama Masjid — a self-guided street food crawl through the capital's heart.
12 Best Low Budget Places to Visit in India
Old Delhi is a feast for the senses. Begin at Paranthe Wali Gali for crisp, stuffed parathas, then wander toward Jama Masjid for some of the city's best kebabs.
Don't miss the jalebis at Old Famous Jalebi Wala and a glass of cooling lassi to round things off.
Go hungry, carry small change, and follow the crowds — the busiest stalls are busy for good reason.
2. Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh
Daily budget: INR 800-1,300 | Getting there: INR 1,200-2,000
Varanasi is one of the easiest places to enjoy on a small budget. A sunrise boat ride, a walk along the ghats, kachori-sabzi for breakfast and a lassi in a kulhad cost almost nothing. Agree on the price of boats and rickshaws before you get in.
Best time: October to March
