Many travelers feel called to visit India. They want to see Her deserts, beaches, mountains and jungles. The culture, history, food and music all beckon. Budget slow travel in India makes sense: it’s an affordable destination and it takes a lot of time to travel the subcontinent.
But deep down you admit: you are a bit intimidated. People tell you India is intense. They are right. India is sweetly intense.
We can help give you the lay of the land. Today’s India is so vast on so many levels, travelers either delight in Her variety or they feel overwhelmed.
Free guide for budget slow travel in India
We spent 14 months over the years 2022, 2023, and 2024 exploring many places in that chaotic, colorful country and feel we can confidently call ourselves ‘experts’ at slow travel in India.
We put together a free guide: How to Slow Travel in India. No downloads or email collection. We simply want to share what we know to help other budget slow travelers in (early) retirement.
Aside from being an amazing country with incredible culture, India is unbelievably affordable — even in this crazy post-pandemic world with prices everywhere rising every day.
Our guide covers a lot of ground, including:
- visas
- currency & digital payments
- price examples
- trains and buses
- rickshaws and ride shares
- rental features you will want
- health care for emergencies and mundane needs
- and more
Our extensive slow travel in India commanded our admiration for one of the most interesting countries on the planet, and inspired us to share some of what we learned in this free guide to help you get the most out of your own trip.
