Fancy an iPhone? Why Not Opt for An International Destination Instead?

by

Indian travellers / tourists love to travel abroad

Even if you’re not fond of gadgets, an iPhone is definitely on the ‘to-buy’ list for many. And mind you, compared to other smartphones, an iPhone is definitely expensive. In India, the latest iPhone can easily cost around Rs. 50 to 60k.

But did it ever occur to you that for the same amount of money, you can actually go for an international vacation! Well, of-course not Europe, but definitely somewhere nearby.

Take a look at these international destinations that will cost you almost the same as an iPhone 6 (it would be a budget trip and you need to plan a few months in advance.)

  1. Bhutan
    Bhutan shares its borders with India. Its a beautiful country known for its green forests, ancient monasteries and unique culture.
