TRIP to India is one of
& the last tree travel bar-
gains left in the world today.,
It's now virtually impossible to
travel in Europe on §5.00 a
day, but in India, this is a very
reasonable travel budget. And
on a cost per mile basis, the
air fare to India compares
favourably with the costs of
flying from Toronto to Paris.
For the adventurous trav-
eller, one of the most e¢co-
nomical and interesting ways
to get from Toronto to India
is through tour operators like
Bruce Hodge of Go Way
ravel in Toronto. He'll book
; your tour from London, Eng-
and to Nepal by bus and
truck. Not exactly the Orient
Express, but a fascinating ex-
rience for the person [ook-
ing for the unusual. -
Av great idea for the budget
minded traveller is the “Indrail
Pass”, which works the same
way as the Burai) Pass. You
can purchase these for a yari-
ety of time periods, anywhere
from a week to three months.
The pass allows you unlimited
travel on India’s excellent rail-
way system and is easily ob-
tained at major rail stations in
Bombay, Calcutta, Madras and
New Delhi. .
The Indrail Pass is one of -
the best travel values anywhere
in the world. A second class
pass reserves a seat for you in
2 non-air conditioned coach,
is valid for three weeks and
costs for adults $21.00 (U.S)
and for children $11.00 (U.S.).
A first class pass gives you a
private, air conditioned com-
partment, is also valid for three
weeks and costs $125.00 (U.S.). -

Getting there may be half
the fun, but once you're there,

where are you going to stay? .

With accommodations one of
the major expenses in a holi-
day budget, you'll find India
has hotels to accommodate
every traveller's pocketbook.
Railway retiring rooms offer
terrific accommedations for
the railway traveller, at very
reasonable rates. In Jaipur, the
pink city. a single room costs
5¢ (CDN) or 7.00 rupees for
24 hours, At the same station,
a bed in a twelve bed dormi-
tory costs only 40¢ or 3.50
rupees — a great way to meet
people, and after all, isn't that
what travelling's all about?
Many stations have restaurants
or refreshment rooms avail-

able, If price is no object to
you, a double, air conditioned
room is priced from $2.50 to
$7.50, Still a steal!

Excellent accommodations .

aren't limited to the rail sta-
tions, Jaipur also boasts ihe
beautiful Rajasthan State
Hotel. A double air condi-
tioned room plus three meals

a day will cost you only $18.00-

(CDN). At prices like that, the
North American’ hotel rates

seem exorbitant! If you'd
prefer your meals outside the

otel, an -air conditioned
double at the LMB Hotel will

* cost you $6.85 to $9.35.

Keeping in mind that you've
already alloted money for
travel and accommodation, the
only ftem left to worry about
is food. And once again the
-budget minded traveller will
find the food inexpensive and
the cuisine exciting to say the
least, In an Indian style restau-
rant, cereal or porridge (ndian
style) and coffee can en-
joyed for a mere 25¢, With
the price of coffee in Canada
today, that indeed is a bargain.
754 will buy you a full lunch
consisitng of a curry dish like
chicken, with the bread, rice,
a vegetable and coffee. More
exotic than MecDonald’s and
you also get change.
