A new iPhone launch usually means long queues and stock selling out within hours. This time, however, the upcoming iPhone Duo has been launched at a price of around Rs 3 lakh, a budget that could just as easily cover a foreign holiday with the family. Here is a list of five countries that can be covered within this budget.
Bali is considered a hugely popular and beautiful destination. For a low-cost break amid nature, it can be a good option. Within a budget of Rs 3 lakh, two people can plan a week-long trip, including flight tickets, a private villa and food and stay. Ubud, the Tegallalang Rice Terraces, Uluwatu and Nusa Penida are considered among the best places to visit there, offering beaches, natural beauty and a peaceful atmosphere.
Indian tourists often pick the Maldives for international trips. Beaches, luxury resorts and villas are available there at reasonable rates, and Indians get visa-free entry, which makes travel easier. A stay at a 4-star hotel or resort can comfortably be managed within the Rs 3 lakh budget, allowing for a 4 to 5 day holiday.
With a budget of Rs 3 lakh, Dubai can also be visited comfortably for 5 to 6 days. Dubai is a famous tourist spot where visitors can see landmarks such as the Burj Khalifa, Palm Jumeirah, the Dubai Mall and the Dubai Fountain. Gold shopping is also popular there, along with Dubai's famous kunafa. Dubai's chocolates are also well known around the world.
A week-long trip to Greece from India can also be completed within a budget of Rs 3 lakh. Known for its blue and white houses, this European country is a major tourist destination. Cities and islands such as Athens, Santorini and Mykonos are especially popular among tourists. Several religious and historical sites can also be seen there.
Mauritius can also be an excellent international destination for this budget. A trip of 5 to 6 days, including flights, a good hotel and stay and food, can be completed within Rs 3 lakh. Indians get a free visa on arrival valid for 60 days, without needing to apply separately at an embassy beforehand. The island is also called a paradise on the sea, with 52 percent of its population being Hindu. It is known for its blue seas, white sand beaches and mountains.
