Have you just bumped upon the idea of getting yourself an iPhone 12? A 64GB iPhone 12 would cost you ₹79,900. For 128GB and 256GB storage models, you need to shell out ₹84,900 and ₹94,900 respectively. But here’s a piece of an idea. If you can skip the plan of buying the iPhone, you can utilise the money for a mind-boggling foreign trip. Rethink once! Meanwhile, here is a list of 5 foreign destinations from India that can be covered at a budget equivalent to the price of iPhone 12:
1.Istanbul
The Turkish city across the Bosphorus Strait is undoubtedly one of the most picturesque cities in the world. The splendour of the spotless blue strait, the splendid museums and mosques like the Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and Topkapi Palace will bowl you over for sure. And enjoying the panoramic view of the city from high above the Galata Tower is a different experience altogether. Tour packages from India to Istanbul start at around ₹50,000, which is actually way cheaper than an iPhone 12.
2. Iceland
Packages to Iceland from India might cost you around ₹80,000 to ₹1 lakh. And exploring the surreal expanses of the country with mesmerising lava fields, ice caps, glaciers, waterfalls, hot springs and snowy beaches, will be a feast of the eyes for every nature lover. You can also sleep under the northern lights in Iceland inside a magical see-through bubble or drive below the midnight sun through the marvellous ring road. The island country is also home to Europe’s second-largest glacier, the Vatna Glacier.
3. Budapest
Splurge ₹90,000 and you can have a ravishing tour through the capital city of Hungary, Budapest, by the mighty River Danube. By spending around ₹1.5 lakhs, you can have a luxurious trip out here. The spectacular cityscape of Budapest will satiate every bit of your soul, we bet. From exploring the museums, churches, and castles in the Buda Castle District to enjoying the evening cruise over the river, every experience here is worth a lifetime.
