rae-bareli

India

This city suits those looking to avoid crowds and experience real Indian life, not for those who want convenience or a fast-paced city. Best time to visit is Nov-Feb for cooler weather. Budget around 300-500 RMB per person. Traveling between districts takes time, so take a taxi or use local apps. Must-visit: local market and an old mosque. Skip the tourist area — it's over-commercialized. Avoid buying souvenirs on the street — prices can be high.
