We always complain that Indian currency in weak.  It is true when it comes to comparison with nations like United Kingdom, United States, Australia etc. and so on. But, there are countries where you would feel like a king when you compare their currency to our own desi rupiah.

1. Vietnam (1 INR = 338.35 Dong)

With places like Vang Vieng just a few hours away where you lumber down a river on a tyre while sipping on mushroom shakes from the adjoining shacks, this sounds like a no brainer. Your stay, food, drinks and transport can be managed  in just Rs. 700 in Vietnam.

 

2. Belarus (1 INR = 216 ruble)

Belarus has lakes and forests and all kinds of other attractions, so just give up on your preconceived notions of Eastern Europe. Additionally, they have some really good cafes and bars to watch out for.

 

3.  Indonesia (1 INR = 204.76 rupiah)

Indonesia is known for its wonderful coffee and really good food.

 

4. Paraguay (1 INR = 74.26 guarani)

If you guys don’t know, Paraguay is the CHEAPEST country in the world, according to a survey by Mercer. This means the rent is cheap, the food is cheaper.

 

5. Cambodia (1 INR = 63.93 riel)

Stay, food and drink is cheap plus the place is steeped in history and culture.

 

6. Mongolia ( 1 INR = 29.83 Tugrik)

Hotels in Mongolia are as cheap as Rs 600.  Options for drinking are beyond your imagination, if that’s your jam. There’s vodka everywhere!

 

7. Costa Rica (1 INR = 8.15 colons)

 

8. Hungary (1 INR = 4.22 forint)

 

9. Iceland ( 1 INR = 2.13 icelandic crona)

 

10. Sri Lanka (1 INR = 2.08 sri lankan rupee)

 

11. Nepal (1 INR = 1.60 nepalese rupee)

 

12. Pakistan (1 INR = 1.58 pakistani rupee)

Though the currencies are weak in these countries, this doesn’t mean that these countries are cheaper for travelling or staying. This may hold true for some countries but not for all of them.
