Planning an international holiday doesn\u2019t always mean saving for months.<\/em> Know what it really means.<\/em>
Sometimes, the trick is simply choosing the right destination. A low-cost visa, reasonable airfare and affordable hotels can make a surprisingly big difference. For Indian travellers, nearby countries in Asia are especially interesting because they combine shorter flights with simpler entry rules. And yes, the cheapest tourist visa can sometimes be free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sri Lanka is one of the easiest options for budget-conscious Indian travellers. Indian nationals can get a 30-day tourist ETA without paying the usual visa fee making it an excellent option for a quick international escape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why visit Sri Lanka?<\/strong>
Think palm-lined beaches, misty tea plantations, scenic train rides and seafood by the coast. It\u2019s close to India too, so flight time doesn\u2019t eat up half the holiday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
