Indian Traveller Compares Festive Season Holiday Costs in Goa with Bali and Vietnam
An Indian traveller highlighted that luxury holiday costs in Goa during the festive season can reach Rs 1.5 to 2.5 lakh for five nights, with domestic flights rising two to three times in price. He compared this with international destinations like Bali and Vietnam, where similar stays cost Rs 40,000 to 60,000, noting that despite higher international flight costs, overall expenses can be comparable. Social media users attributed higher domestic prices to limited hotel capacity and suggested exploring less popular Indian destinations for affordability.
