Why go? Known as the Pearl of the Indian Ocean, this tiny tropical island nation is known for its lush rainforest, sandy beaches, and vibrant local culture. There are also many ancient ruins to explore, some of them dating back more than 2,000 years. For travelers on a budget, Bisesto recommends Sri Lanka over busier and pricier neighbors like India and Thailand.
Accommodations: Bisesto says travelers can find three-star hotels for as little as $12 per night, but there are plenty of hostels, guesthouses, and Airbnbs available for even less. "Three meals per day will set budget travelers back less than $9, and public transportation is available from rock bottom prices."
