PHILIPPINES
Outlook Traveller
|June - July 2024
The Philippines is the ultimate destination when seeking the perfect blend of beach retreat, nature immersion, and historical discovery.
-
The archipelagic country in Southeast Asia is also a cost-effective destination for Indian travellers, offering cheaper food, shopping, and lodging options. The Indian rupee is stronger than the Philippine peso, with INR 1 equalling PHP 0.69. Budget travellers can expect to spend around INR 2,500-4,000 per day, including transportation, meals, accommodation, and some activities. However, travel costs vary depending on the traveller's style and destination.
TOP ATTRACTIONS
The Philippines offers a variety of unique places to visit. Boracay has white sand beaches and lively nightlife, Palawan is a nature-lover's paradise with an underground river and beautiful islands, and Bohol is known for its Chocolate Hills, tarsiers, and beaches. Siargao is the surfing capital, Cebu has historical sites and waterfalls, Batanes is a peaceful escape, and Sagada offers a tranquil retreat with rice terraces and waterfalls. Davao City is great for nature and wildlife, Camiguin has diverse landscapes, and Manila has a rich history and cultural landmarks.
