Here is the budget for the Rajasthan trip:

Expense Item Cost Per Person (in INR)


Transportation 2500
Lodging 6000
Food 2500
Activities 2000
Contigency Expenses 1000
Total 14000

Transportation: The cost of transportation includes the fare for the train journey from our hometown to Jaipur and the local
transportation expenses in Jaipur. We have opted for train travel as it is more affordable and comfortable than other modes
of transportation. Also, we have chosen a train that has a minimum travel time so that we can save time and energy. The
local transportation cost includes taxi rides and local bus rides to travel from one tourist attraction to another.

Lodging: We have chosen a budget hotel that offers basic amenities such as clean and comfortable rooms, complimentary
breakfast, and Wi-Fi. We believe that the cost of lodging is reasonable, given the hotel's location, amenities, and reviews.
We have also ensured that the hotel is located in the heart of the city, which will make it easier for us to travel to various
tourist attractions.

Food: We have estimated the cost of food based on the average cost of meals in Jaipur. We have planned to have our meals
at local restaurants that offer traditional Rajasthani cuisine. We have also budgeted for snacks and beverages during the trip.

Activities: We have planned to visit various tourist attractions such as Amber Fort, Hawa Mahal, City Palace, and Jantar
Mantar. We have also planned to go on a shopping spree in the local markets. The cost of activities includes entry tickets
and tour guides.

Contingency Expenses: We have included a contingency expense of Rs. 1000 per person to cover any unforeseen expenses
such as medical emergencies, sudden cancellations, or any other unforeseen circumstances.

Reflection: Creating a budget for the Rajasthan trip was a challenging yet rewarding experience. It required us to think
critically about various factors such as transportation, lodging, food, activities, and contingency expenses. We had to do
research and compare prices to ensure that we stay within our budget. We also had to make some trade-offs, such as
choosing a budget hotel over a luxurious hotel to save costs. Overall, the budgeting exercise was an effective way to plan
and organize the trip, and it helped us stay on track with our expenses. We realized the importance of budgeting and how it
can help us make informed decisions about our expenses.
