Top 10 of the most affordable destinations around the world. These countries are full of culture, history, and natural beauty, the cheapest countries to visit.

1. Nepal

One of the cheapest and most beautiful countries is Nepal. For adventurous travelers looking to explore the most remote corners of the globe, Nepal is a great place to go. It’s one of the cheapest Asian countries to visit outside of Southeast Asia. 

Nepal is a surprisingly diverse country that attracts visitors for many reasons. Some are lured by the call of the mountains and seek to climb or trek in the Himalayas, others are intrigued by the culture and the famous city of Kathmandu, and yet others come hoping to find some sort of spiritual awakening.

Many people come here to hike Mount Everest, but that is only for extremely fit and ambitious travelers, and with lots of money saved, because hiking Mount Everest is super expensive! But if you want to trek in some less touristy mountains, you can do so in Nepal for very cheap. 

Even after the tragic earthquake it still remains one of the most alluring places on earth retaining its evergreen natural beauty. Other beautiful places in Nepal are Annapurna Base Camp Trek (ABC Trek), Upper Mustang Trek, Khaptad National Park, Everest Tea Garden in Sindhupalchok, and Karnali.

The best time to visit Nepal is between October and December when the skies are clear blue and the views spectacular. The weather remains dry until about April, with temperatures varying between regions. January and February can be very cold, especially at night, with average temperatures of 6°C in Namche Bazaar.

Stay in cozy local guesthouses and eat home-cooked meals for just 10-20 USD per day.

2. Cambodia

Southeast Asia is a notoriously cheap area to visit. It is also incredibly beautiful and filled with art, history, flavorful food, religious architecture, and mindblowing natural landscapes. 

Cambodia is probably the cheapest country to visit in Southeast Asia. As one of the best countries in the world for street food, Vietnam should have a place on every foodie’s travel bucket list

Top things to do in Cambodia include visiting the magnificent ancient Khmer temples in Siem Reap and touring the museums and palaces in the capital city of Phnom Penh. 

Vietnam is also famous for its unique natural attractions, including the limestone islands of Ha Long Bay and the world’s largest cave, Hang Son Doong. Accommodation and transportation are both very affordable here as well, contributing to why Vietnam is one of the cheapest Asian countries to visit.

A hostel in Cambodia can cost as little as 4 USD per night, and you can get a full meal for 1 USD.

3. Indonesia

Indonesia is a country in Southeast Asia composed of thousands of islands. This means is it incredibly diverse. You can visit the most popular island of Bali, or head to the quieter tourist islands such as Lombok, Java, or Sumbawa. 

Regardless, Indonesia is a very cheap country to travel to. It is wise to just pick a handful of islands and fully explore those, rather than hopping from island to island constantly and spending lots of money on transport.

But once you find a nice place and stick to it, you can eat delicious, flavorful local food and stay in fun hostels or guesthouses for 20-30 USD per day in total.

4. Morocco

As far as African countries go, Morocco is one of the most affordable. It’s not as cheap as Southeast Asia, but it’s still overall one of the cheapest countries to visit if you can avoid the tourist traps. 

Marrakech is a chaotic and colorful city in Morocco. Most travelers visit here to explore the massive Medina and to book tours into the Sahara Desert or the Atlas Mountains. 

Marrakech can be very cheap if you buy your food at local eateries instead of tourist restaurants in Jema El Fnaa, the main tourist square. Hostels around Morocco generally cost between 8 and 10 USD, and tours are affordable as well. 

Be sure to check out the Blue City of Chefchaouen, the beaches along the west coast, and of course, the mountains and the desert.

5. India

India, the country with one of the most favored cuisines in the world, also belongs to the countries you can visit on a budget list. 

You can find rooms for only $3, but expect to shower with buckets or alternatives. However, you can find some decent rooms for a fair price, or if you’re traveling with friends, you can split the bill and get a fully furnished apartment.

One of the best ways to explore India on a budget is to prearrange everything yourself – no agents, no guides. 

You can find decent accommodations just by walking down the streets – owners offer accommodations at all times, so you cannot miss them. The same goes for city tours or excursions – you can get even half the quote in person, unlike booking online.

The northern area is more affordable than the southern area, but you shouldn’t miss the beaches in the south. You can get a train, or rent a car to see the beaches. 

6. Georgia

If you want to experience the European spirit, then Georgia is one of the countries you can visit on a budget. 

Here, you can eat for less than $3 and get a minibus for less than $1, which is impressive on a tourism note. 

But, what’s even more exciting are the tickets to museums or historical sights, as you can only learn more about the country at prices starting at $2. 

Plus, if you want to explore the city, the locals are utterly hospitable and ready to take in every tourist they meet. You can even hike or tour the town with the locals.

7. Thailand

The Thai islands appear almost unrealistic in the movies or photos on Instagram, but to our surprise, Thailand is one of the destinations anyone can afford. With a flight ticket (depending on where you depart) booked a few months earlier, you can experience Thailand on a budget. 

And unlike the southern part, the opposite pole is quite affordable. If you only want to experience Thai culture life, that’s nothing lux; you can find dorms for $5 or less per night. 

Street food is also affordable, and so is sightseeing. You can go hiking, stroll around the city, or visit the famous White Temple for dirt money.

The locals here are super friendly and happy to help or keep you company.

8. South Africa

If you’re a fan of wildlife, then South Africa should be on top of your list. 

Although it seems luxurious, the prices in South Africa are pretty affordable. You can find a safari and share a sunset with wild animals for a low price. Besides safari, you can go hiking, too. 

Cape Town has terrific nightlife you mustn’t miss, and being one of the most affordable is the best part of the story.

You can find decent apartments for meager prices, such as $9 on Booking or Airbnb. 

9. Romania

For all medieval and goth fans, Romania is one of the most affordable destinations to visit that should already be on your list. Even though you may know the country for Dracula, the medieval villages and architecture have such an inviting charm that it’s hard to overlook them. You can land good deals on Booking or Airbnb or by going around the city to look for accommodations in person. Some hostels begin with $10 a night, or around $15, but include breakfast. 

If there’s one thing you should know about tourism in Romania – the food is always tasty, whether you eat street food, restaurant or hostel food. 

It’s also advisable to find a room with a kitchen where you can cook lunch and dinner because the groceries are cheaper than in most countries. 

Apart from the hostels, public transportation is also very cheap, and you can explore the cities for 60 cents per 90-minute ride.

10. Macedonia

This small and beautiful country is a hidden gem in the Balkans.

With its picturesque villages, lively culture, delicious food, and rich history it’s a destination that will please most travelers, especially the discerning, as it is often dubbed the cheapest European country to travel in.

The capital, Skopje is known for its recently regenerated city center full of countless statues. However, the beauty lies about 15km outside the city, at Matka Canyon.

A hotspot for hikers and watersport lovers. To capture the essence of Macedonia I suggest visiting Lake Ohrid on the border of Albania. It is one of the oldest and deepest lakes in Europe and a wonderful place to kayak, sail, scuba dive, and even paragliding.

In fact, Macedonia is one of the cheapest places to paraglide in Europe at only 49 EUR. Ohrid is also a great place for those who love culture, as there are 365 churches found in the city.

Macedonia is very cheap by European standards with a daily spend of 25-45 EUR.

Hostel accommodation is 10 EUR a night, hotels are 30 EUR for a double room, a meal in a restaurant will be around 4 EUR and a beer is 1.35 EUR.

Buses around Macedonia are plentiful and the 3-hour journey from Skopje to Ohrid is only 8 EUR one way and 11 EUR return, making it feasible to explore this off-the-beaten-track country.
