Prices could change, so please round your figures up by at least 10%

THanks a lot Guys!!

So it mean that need about 200$-250$ for one month?? Or I am wrong?? )))

sunnyyaar · Nov 3rd, 2009, 12:16

You are correct. 200$-250$ for one month is good amount.

wonderwomanusa · Nov 3rd, 2009, 12:33

$250 for a month is only a bit more than US$8 per day; you should figure twice that amount. Maybe you'll have money left over, but that's better than running short.

I agree. $250 a month might be difficult. Although there are cheap options, food prices in general have gone up. So its better to plan for more cash before coming here.

Before you give up your time for mother teresa why don,t you do a little research? It is not what you think it is. I won,t go into it here, but there is lots of stuff out there that gives the other side of the story. Swiss bank accounts, people dying in pain for want of medical pain relief, and of course the reason for the place is to baptise people in the catholic faith not to help.

one way of reducing your cost of stay may be renting a room for a month instead of staying in a hotel ... the cost may be maximum Rs.4000 per month in a less posh area ...
