Answer 3

I would suggest sept. to feb for most part of India, but if you going deep in Himalayas, make sure to select summer time. If you not going too far deep, than winter will be OK if you from cold country.

About money... I will say you Can find decent meal fro $3-10 depending on what kind of restaurant you eating at.

Taking a flight cost $100 per flight(One Way) an average, from Mumbai is good airline, but still, that is average price. Max would be $150 per flight.

Hotel cost would be around $50 to $100 for decent but not high end. Depending upon city/location.

If I go to India, and I do have place to stay in my home town, but still I consider $2500+ per person including cost of travel to India by air. That's 15 days of travel and 15 days staying in hometown.

Hi You can always travel to india at any time of the year coz Climate vary from place tp Place. Mumbai will be hot starting from april mid till august. What people usually do is that it is vacation time in India when schools are closed-usually April to July last they travel south or visit hill stations. If you are planning to come during this time then you can visit hill stations like Ooty, Kodaikanal,-This places are In South of India or kerala where the climate is moderate and is  beautiful place to visit.

India has become expensive these days. You need to be very careful carring money, I would suggest u use traveller's Chek and ATM cards. Ideally USD 5000 should take care of your stay and travel and food.
