Which City is Cheaper?
Goa: Can be expensive in Peak Season (Dec-Jan) but cheap otherwise. Rent drives the
cost.
Bangalore: Highest rents in India due to tech boom, but excellent food/drink
options.
Delhi: Cheaper rents than Mumbai/Bangalore, but transportation can add up.
Rishikesh/Dharamshala: Much cheaper. You can live very well for $800/month here.
