Budget Trip to Mangalore

Mangalore is a city full of culture, history and natural beauty. You can enjoy all this while staying in budget-friendly accommodations and eating at local markets or street vendors. Here are some ideas for how you can spend your time in Mangalore:

Stay in budget-friendly accommodations

There are many budget-friendly accommodations in Mangalore.

Stay in a hostel or guest house: Hostels provide basic amenities like internet access and breakfast, while guest houses offer similar services but also include some form of kitchen facilities (some even have small kitchens).

Homestay/Couchsurfing: If you're looking to meet locals, this can be an excellent option! You'll have the chance to learn about their culture and experience their daily life. It's also great if you're traveling with friends who want to stay together without paying extra money for a hotel room each night.

Hotel: Hotels typically range from $10-$50 USD per night depending on where you stay; they usually have shared bathrooms since they're located close together so don't expect luxury amenities like complimentary towels or toiletries included in your rate plan though some do offer those things as added extras at no additional cost!

Explore the city on foot or by bicycle

If you're looking for a cheap way to explore the city, consider using public transportation. You can take the train or bus and get around without having to pay too much money. However, if you want something more comfortable than walking or riding on public transportation, there are also plenty of options available that will allow you to explore Mangalore on foot or by bicycle.

If you choose not to use a car but instead opt for other modes of transportation like motorbikes (which are often rented at airports), scooters (which can be rented through popular websites such as BookMyShow), taxis (available outside train stations) and rickshaws/rickshaws in India generally have one person sitting in front with an open space behind them where passengers sit on their laps - these types of vehicles are called "three-wheeler."

Take public transportation

Public transportation is available in the city, but it's not always convenient. There are many options for public transportation and you can use them to get around.

Bus: The bus system works on a standard route that goes from one place to another. You can buy tickets at any bus station or kiosk in town, but they're not necessarily cheap (about $1 for most trips). Be prepared for long waits between buses or trains because of traffic jams caused by road closures.

Train: Trains run from 6 AM until midnight every day except Sunday when there's no service at all! The train stations are located near major hotels and tourist sites so if you're staying anywhere near these places then this might be your best option for getting around without renting a car or motorcycle taxi services like those offered by some hotels in Mangalore City."

Visit free or low-cost attractions

Mangalore is a great place to visit. It has many attractions that are free and low-cost, so you can enjoy them at your own pace. Some of these include:

A walk through the gardens of St Mary’s Church and Museum in Bajpe

A trip up Mount Kanchanaburi, where you can see an old British fort and temple ruins

A visit to the National Science Academy (NSA) at Hubli

Taste local street food

If you're looking for a taste of local street food, Mangalore has plenty of options. You can try the traditional dosa (the crepe-like pancakes) and vada (the deep-fried potato patty), which are made with rice flour and served with chutney or sambar. Or you can try some of the "specialties," like bhajiyas: flaky pastries filled with spiced potatoes, green peas and onions. Other popular dishes include papdi chaat—thin disks made from fermented wheat or chickpea batter mixed with spices, salt and coriander leaves—and kalakari masala dosa which consists of a thin dough rolled around spicy filling before being baked in an oven under pressure until it puffs up into large round discs that are crisp on the outside but soft inside due to their spongy texture

Shop at budget-friendly markets

Budget shopping is a good way to get your money's worth, especially if you're on a budget. If you're looking for deals and want to save some money, this is the place for you!

There are several factors that make budget markets great places to shop:

The prices are very low compared to the price of similar items in other stores or online. It's like getting free money!

There are no grand opening sales or coupons; just good deals on items at their regular prices—and sometimes even better ones than what's listed in stores (which means you'll probably find something from your favorite brand).

You don't need an appointment because everything being sold there has already been purchased by someone else who went through the same process as everyone else before them (or maybe even earlier than them). This means they won't be selling out fast when they get busy later in the afternoon/evening hours after work ends...and this also means that if anyone tries buying something off of their shelf right now without making reservations beforehand then chances are pretty high that person won't be able get his/her hands on anything except maybe one last thing left behind by another customer who came before him/her."

Take advantage of happy hour deals

Happy hour is a great way to meet other people, save money and get a good deal on food. If you're going on a budget trip, why not make the most of happy hour? The following are some suggestions:

Meet people at happy hour. It's always fun to get together with your travel companions and share stories about each other's life experiences—and who knows? You might meet someone who will become your new best friend!

Get discounts at restaurants and bars during their dinner/late night hours (4pm-11pm). This is also an opportunity for all-you-can eat buffets or unlimited beer pong tournaments!

Attend free cultural events

Cultural events are a great way to spend time with family and friends, while also learning about the local culture. These events are held all over India, so if you're looking for something different from your usual vacation routine, try checking out some of these cultural happenings!

Religious events: You can find religious sites throughout South India that offer various services and activities (like taking blessings from holy men or attending prayers). These places are often open only during certain times of the year, so it's important to check their calendars before deciding whether or not they're worth visiting on your trip.

Cultural events: The best part about attending a cultural event is that it will help broaden your understanding of another country's culture without leaving home! Some examples include attending plays written by Indian writers such as Saint Augustine Chetty; watching movies shot on location in Mangalore; listening live music performed by local musicians; participating in sports tournaments hosted at video game arcades called "gaming centers."

Plan a picnic at a local park

If you're looking for a great place to picnic, consider the local Garden and parks in Mangalore. These are generally free and open to everyone, so if you want to go on a picnic with your family or friends and don't want to spend too much money, this is the perfect option.

The best thing about having a picnic at one of these parks is that they will provide all of your food needs—food stalls sell delicious snacks such as samosas (deep fried vegetables), sandwiches made with freshly baked breads and meat dishes such as chicken tikka Masala or mutton chelo kebab stewed in yogurt sauce. You can also buy drinks like mineral water or juice from vendors who sell them every day during lunchtime hours at most places around town!

If it's raining hard outside then I recommend staying inside an indoor area where there aren't any rain clouds overhead; otherwise try finding somewhere else indoors where temperatures are lower than outside since heat tends to rise up quickly after being exposed directly from sunlight which causes sweating glands on skin surface causing hot flashes when exposed too long

Rent a scooter or bike instead of a car

If you're looking to save money on your trip, renting a scooter or bike is a great way to do it. You can rent these vehicles at local shops and hotels, as well as train stations.

In most cases, the cost of renting a scooter or bike will be less than that of renting an automobile. This is because these smaller vehicles are typically used for shorter trips around town (like from one destination to another), so they only need fuel every few days rather than daily like cars do.

Stay in a hostel or guest house

If you're looking for a budget accommodation in Mangalore, there are several options available. Hostels and guest houses are both good options, but they have different advantages and disadvantages.

Hostels offer a friendly atmosphere and can be a great way to meet new people while saving money on accommodation costs. Guesthouses tend to be more affordable than hostels because they don't require you to share rooms with strangers—but they may put restrictions on your freedom while at the same time charging higher rates.

You should also consider what type of experience you want from your stay: if it's just sleeping at night that matters most, then staying with friends or family will probably suffice; however if getting out during the day is important too (or even necessary), then booking into an official hostel or guesthouse might be better suited for your needs!

Use discount coupons or group deals

One of the best ways to save money when you travel is by using discount coupons and group deals. Discount coupons, which can be found all over the internet, will help you save between 10% and 40%. Group deals are great if you want to go somewhere for a certain number of people in your party. You may also want to look into travel websites like Expedia or Orbitz that offer airfare discounts for different airlines each month as well as cash back rewards on hotel stays through their loyalty programs

Try homestays or couchsurfing

If you have a budget, homestays and couchsurfing are great options. Homestays can be an excellent way to meet people in your neighborhood, but they might not be the best option for those who want more space or privacy. Couchsurfing is cheaper than staying at a hotel and gives you more flexibility in terms of where you stay.

In the end, there are some ways to save money on a trip to Mangalore. The most obvious is to stay at a budget-friendly hotel or hostel. You can also look into renting bicycles, scooters and motorcycles instead of cars. You may be able to find deals from booking sites like Airbnb or Couchsurfing that will help you save even more money while traveling around this beautiful city!
