Budget Check
I looked at the 4‑day Treasures of India itinerary price in USD again—Deluxe Cabin at $4,900 (~₹4.35 L), or ~$9,780 total for a double cabin
Curious Traveler
Thanks all! So, best value per night? The Treasures route is roughly $1,225/night in a Deluxe cabin. Meanwhile, the 7‑night routes run around $1,114/night, slightly cheaper per night but longer. Choices, choices.
Final Thoughts
To sum up:
-
Short route (4 D): Starts at ~$4.9 k/pax.
-
Long routes (7 D): Starts at ~$7.8 k/pax.
-
Cabin upgrades and solo travel impact price.
-
Always check if prices are for USD or INR & note extra GST.
