At around Rs. 30, 000 you can actually look at planning a fairly lavish vacation with 2-3 star hotels, some fun-filled activities, moderately budgeted restaurants and bar with relishing delicacies, and commuting by flights. You can still travel by a train to save on to some amount which you can happily use up for shopping at the tourist markets. Pre-planning and pre-booking is still recommended to avoid any unplanned over expenditure.
