Indonesia
In addition to the fact that you can eat, pray and love in Indonesia, you can simply live here. And to live on a low budget. The prices here are very democratic: you can eat for less than $ 1, live for $ 150 a month, but you can only work via the Internet, since the unemployment rate is very high here.
Cambodia
What's the catch? This is not a clean beach island where you will lie under an umbrella all day long. The wild local beach is sometimes "decorated" by packs of stray dogs or other forest dwellers. Just right for those who want to live away from civilization.
Vietnam
The southeast coast of Vietnam is famous for the fact that there are 11 thousand hectares of rainforest. And this is perhaps the best place in Asia for diving and spearfishing: there is a huge barrier reef here. And even on weekends, these places are free of tourists.
Laos
Laos is a state in Southeast Asia known for its beautiful mountains, Buddhist monasteries and river rafting on rubber boats with stops at cafes and bars.
Thailand
Despite the fact that this place is very popular with tourists and is slightly more expensive than other Asian countries, prices in Thailand are still not so high compared to many European countries.
India
A densely populated country with the Taj Mahal, famous caves, forts and temples, and with a holy cow. In addition, it is also a very good place to live from an economic point of view. Only $ 100-110 is enough to rent an apartment here for a month for two. A plate of hot rice with chicken here can cost as little as 40 rupees - that's about 60 cents, for a full meal you will have to pay $ 1-2.
Nepal
Mystical Nepal is renowned as the center of spirituality in Asia, and those seeking a path come here from all over the world to meditate and soak up the unique atmosphere of the place. Those who do not yearn for enlightenment also go to admire the most beautiful mountains, stunning temples and ancient pagodas. Nepal is a haven for budget travelers. Food costs here can be limited to $ 1 per day. Of course, if you go to restaurants, it will be more expensive, but the most expensive dishes here cost $ 8 at most, and renting a one-room apartment (Kathmandu) is $ 1-2 per day. Public transport costs up to $ 0.2 here.
China
China is a land of contrasts, with picturesque rural landscapes and crowded urban metropolises, with natural beauty that sprawls across the wild and untamed plains of the Gobi Desert and the northern peak of Everest.
Despite the fact that China is a huge country, it is quite easy to get from one place to another. Traveling around the country won't exhaust you as much as in other countries. Taxis are especially cheap in most cities - $ 1 for a short trip. And you can have a hearty lunch here for only $ 2.
Bulgaria
The most inexpensive countries for living have nothing to do with this state - housing is expensive here, but in comparison, for example, with Switzerland, vacation in Bulgaria is very economical. It is as beautiful here as in France, but a bottle of beer costs only $ 0.80, and an apartment here can be rented for as little as $ 200 a month.
Nicaragua
Nicaragua is a real budget paradise for those who like to save money. Everything is cheap in this country, from food to rent. At the same time, the minimum cost of living does not mean that you will have to sacrifice the quality of life that you are used to at home. $ 995 is enough to rent a large apartment, pay bills and food for two, indulge in small entertainment (movies, for example) and even invite a cleaning lady three times a week.
There is no country in the world that is not of tourist interest. Exclusive historical and archaeological sites, cultural heritage baggage, ecological beauty are available in each. Unfortunately, visiting many of them seriously affects the wallets of tourists. However, there is a list of world tourist leaders in low-cost vacation, including countries with entertainment, maritime, environmental and cultural destinations.

Three inexpensive and beautiful countries in Europe
Europe is very heterogeneous in terms of prices within the different countries that make up it. For example, in Finland, which is close to Russia, food prices are much higher than in the distant Netherlands, and therefore it is impossible to calculate the budget for a holiday based on distance.
The top three budgetary countries in Europe include:
- Croatia
- Poland
- Romania
Croatia
One of the most reasonable countries in terms of prices, gaining tourist popularity due to its location on the Adriatic coast and surrounded by chains of islands, rest on which is little different from rest on oceanic atolls: the same vivid seascapes, the same white sands, exotic nature. On the beaches of Croatia, yachting is rapidly developing: this is the main entertainment direction.
Added to this is a daily varied menu of spicy and savory seafood and local wine renowned for its softness and palate.
It is customary to visit Croatia in the midst of the summer heat, starting in June, and in early autumn, until October. But prices for accommodation, food and entertainment in the next season - October-November - will fall by half. At this time, it will not always be possible to swim, but it will be quite cheap to ride a yacht, spend time in the bosom of exotic nature.
Flight: from 13,000 rubles.
Accommodation: from 1400 rubles.
Poland
It is a country in which the Middle Ages have remained intact in many places. When traveling to Poland, get ready for the fact that almost every resort will offer you an overview of the well-preserved knight's castle or the ruins of historically significant fortifications of the 12-14th centuries.
Most of Poland's resort towns are old towns with atmospheric architecture, beautiful churches, and picturesque landscapes. The lakes, framed by forests and parks, create lyrical pictures that are pleasant for tourists tired of the bustle of megacities. offers cultural and ecological tourism with hospitality and inexpensive accommodation and food. The climate of Poland allows you to admire it at any time of the year.
Flight: 8 400 rubles.

Romania
The leader in the list of the most inexpensive countries in Europe, and at the same time provides a variety of vacations. For curious tourists - the country of fortresses and castles of the 14-16 centuries. (among them is the castle of the famous vampire Dracula!). For active tourists there are ski slopes and mountaineering routes, for lovers of sea recreation - the Black Sea coast.
Romania is a very wooded country, it enchants with its virginity, interspersed with modern and very cozy cities.
The climate in Romania is similar to that of Russia, with the difference that in winter it is rarely colder than fifteen degrees below zero. But the summer is not very hot here either: on average, up to twenty-five degrees Celsius.
Ski season: winter, starting in mid-December until the snow melts (usually the end of April). Rest on the Black Sea lasts a little more than two months: from June to mid-August.

Asia: Exotic Affordable
One of the inexpensive Asian destinations is well known - Thailand, and relatively recently two more exotic beauties-countries entered the world of wide tourism: Cambodia and Vietnam.
Countries that are actively developing a tourist destination are always distinguished by inexpensive prices and very attentive service. This is how they earn their reputation.
Thailand
Many tourists love this inexpensive country, which is extremely friendly to them. Violet and turquoise lagoons of long beaches, stone steles, as if thrown from the sky by giants, colorful outfits of local residents - we have seen all this at least once in photographs, and all this is quite accessible to see in reality.
The main shrines of Thailand are the White Temple, as if carved from ivory, and more than thirty thousand Buddhist temples, carved, colored, inlaid.
The islands of Thailand are kept clean and fresh, and the underwater world is charming. Local cuisine is divided into two directions: Japanese-Chinese (you will not see such huge rolls anywhere else) and local spicy cuisine, sometimes even too exotic.
They visit Thailand from late November to February, a tropical season ideal for a beach holiday, and the hot season following it, from mid March to May. At this time, the temperature rises significantly, up to 37 degrees. The rainy season (June-October) is interesting in its own way, but there is a risk of spending the whole rest in the hotel looking at the rain.
Flight: from 20,000 rubles.
Accommodation: 1000 rub.
Cambodia
Thailand's small neighbor, Cambodia has finally dealt with the revolutionary upheaval and started developing as a tourist destination.
Surprisingly, Cambodia offers prices below Thai, and service is higher in level. The beauty of the country is unique: twenty-two national parks attract ecological tourists. Blooming jungle, rare plants, lush rainforest coexist with beach areas on the shores of a very clean ocean.
Little Cambodia has the largest religious building in the world - the Angkor Wat temple is the main attraction of the country. The climate and recommendations for visiting Cambodia are the same as the climate and recommendations for visiting Thailand.

Vietnam
The popularity of Vietnam is becoming attractive for those who are ready to spend money on air tickets, in order to then establish a financial balance due to cheap accommodation and food.
The culture of Vietnam, hidden from the eyes of Europeans for a long time, developed in isolation and therefore is so attractive for those eager to get to know the unknown. Rarely beautiful temples, excursions to the habitats of small peoples of Vietnam, hiking and cycling in the forested mountains: Vietnam invites not a tourist, but a guest.
He generously shares his rich views, gives relaxation on beaches with a length of almost three thousand kilometers, willingly introduces exotic and Asian mystery into his mysterious world.
Vietnam also has the cheapest pearls in the world, the most unusual cuisine and a very friendly local population.
From December to April, you can change the chilly Russian winter to the intoxicatingly warm breeze of the Vietnamese coasts. At this time, prices in the country are slightly higher than in the subsequent season, which lasts from May to October. It is the rainy season, but prices fall so significantly during it that tourists are not embarrassed by the rains. Buy colorful Vietnamese fringed umbrellas and go for impressions!

Russia: such a familiar stranger
Rest for the most active travelers. Karelia provides many camp sites, and camp sites vying with each other to please tourists, offering fishing, hunting, kayaking, hiking in the forest and mountains.
The nature of Karelia is poorly described in words: it is not just unique, it does not even have a faint resemblance to itself. Northern coniferous forests imprison turbulent mountain rivers in lace frames, multi-colored rocks are reflected in the waters of lakes, sunsets and sunrises color the world in all shades of gold.
A particularly revered place in Karelia is the island of Kizhi, a quiet and peaceful place with preserved wooden buildings and wonderful temples with handmade carvings, one of which bears as many as twenty-two chapters.
The island keeps the memory of the original culture of the Karelian peoples and wood carvers.
For a good rest, it is better to choose August - this is the month when the annoying midge disappears, and the beauty of Karelia is fully revealed. Fans of winter hunting and ice fishing can safely go in winter - it is very beautiful and cold in Russian, no annoying slush.

The transparency and purity of the water, the environmental friendliness of Seliger attract tourists with children to recreation centers, of which there are many built on the banks. Pleasant water activities are offered: fishing and boating, kite and windsurfing, and just outdoor recreation that modern city dwellers need.
On Seliger, the Nilova Pustyn Monastery is often visited. The monastery was founded in the 16th century on the site where the holy hermit Nil, revered in Orthodoxy, died. Many stories are associated with him about the miracles of humility and signs from above that surrounded the pious old man.

Who has not heard of Lake Titicaca? A funny name for Russian-speaking tourists is the name of the lake, which climbed to a height of more than three thousand meters above sea level. And these are not all the wonders of Bolivia!
Another lake, the dried-up salt lake of Uyuni, leaves the impression of visiting a lake of another planet - the whiteness of the salt formations sparkling in the sun creates bizarre patterns and figures of unknown creatures that have frozen forever.
On the territory of Bolivia, there are traces of an ancient civilization that once rebuilt the stone settlement of Tiwanaku. It is a system of steps, plateaus, peaks and temples, mysterious statues and fragments of palaces. Tiwanaku was built not by people, but by the gods - so local residents believe.
For extreme lovers, the Bolivian Death Road will be a challenge - the world's most dangerous mountain bike route.

Argentina's waterfalls adorn almost any national park, so you won't be left without an impressive sight.
In addition to ecological tourism, it is proposed to spend time in Buenos Aires, a city of exuberant contrasts, where there is a district of artists, La Boca, the colorful splendor of creative architecture, the focus of the cultural life of the capital.

South Africa
The former territories of the English colonists gave the world such famous names as Table Mountain and the Cape of Good Hope. Now Table Mountain has become the center of the national park, and the Cape of Good Hope is part of the museum square with ports and castles.
South Africa is rich in polar types of attractions - these are museums in the English style, and the famous Big Hole - a museum-mine, and in contrast - truly African nature reserves of lions, giraffes and other wild animals. In South Africa, two civilizations have merged tightly: one industrial, urban, and the other is still wild.
The paradox does not leave South Africa alone: \u200b\u200bhere, in Africa, you will see a diamond museum, an island inhabited by seals, a beach where a colony of penguins managed to settle. An amazing country with low prices awaits you from December to February and from July to September.

The favorable location of Tunisia made it an arena for the redistribution of ancient Roman power. Many buildings remained from the Romans in this beautiful country, including the Colosseum, which is not much inferior to what is now in the territory of modern Rome.
From their rivals - the remains of the once richest Carthage. Add to this wonderful mosques, Arab fortresses, cathedrals left over from the times of colonization, and feel the intensity of the historical events that took place on this land.
The center of attraction for tourists here is still the Sahara Desert and Lake Shott el-Nerid. Excursions to the great desert of the world and to a huge lake, like ice, covered with a salt crust, are a must for a traveler looking for wonders of the world. And in Tunisia, you can also try fig vodka!
A third of Tunisia is given to the Sahara, and on the other side of the country the gentle sea washes the cleanest beaches. Their visiting season is from June to September. From November to early April, swimming is also possible, but dusty winds often come and it rains.
It is a country with a population of more than a thousand tribes with a special culture and way of life. Burkina Faso is a must visit for those looking for an authentic Africa with ritual magic, wildlife, safaris and predators.
There are national parks here, where Africa lives a full life, not knowing that civilization has long closed around it in a circle. The parks are inhabited by hippos and antelopes, lions and rhinos.
You can see another famous African predator in Kudugu: the sacred crocodiles Sabu live there, quite harmless and friendly with their terrible reputation. You can take a picture with them, and they don't mind at all.
An interesting repository museum, confronting the secrets of African magic, is the Manega Museum, which has collected exhibits of sacred cults of ancient African tribes. The exhibits are quite gloomy and mesmerizing. Some are over a thousand years old.
A small Arab state-kingdom, almost completely covered with deserts, but attractive for a beach holiday on the shores of the Gulf of Aqaba, where diving is developed, and beautiful coral reefs are hidden under water.
The Dead Sea, a source of mineral salts, a health resort and an amazing creation of the planet, is also located in Jordan. They strive for it for a cure from many diseases, its mud and salts are used for cosmetic purposes. Visiting the Dead Sea, Jordanians believe, rejuvenates a person for ten years.
Not so long ago, a city with a history of nine thousand years was included in the list of wonders of the world. This is Petra, a stone city that once possessed both water and riches from the spice trade.
Petra is completely carved in stone and grand in its decline: her beauty is sad and majestic to this day.
Last-minute tours in the period December-March and hot June-August will be very cheap, because this is the period when the sea vacation will not be successful, but these months are perfect for excursions to the sights of the ancient Arab city. For sea holidays, choose the winter period: from December to February.
Warm, welcoming and also safe. Turkey has always been inexpensive for tourists with a large selection of places to stay: it provides beaches of two seas, reviews of monuments of Roman and Greek culture and architecture, excursions to cooled volcanoes and cities hidden in caves.
Holidays in Turkey are never the same. Its diversity is endless for connoisseurs of oriental culture and ancient countries.
From Turkey, you can bring not only impressions, but also inexpensive souvenirs and useful gifts, for example, real Turkish coffee.
The beach holiday season starts in April and ends in October. From November to mid-April the “off-season” lasts, but this is the best time to spend a cheap holiday in a country with many cultural monuments and attractions without crowds of tourists.
