In India the currency is the Indian Rupee (INR)

It is best to bring a mixture of cash and travelers checks in major currencies - USD, CAD, EUR, AUD - and ensure you have a mixture of large and small denominations. Most major currencies can be changed into Indian Rupees at banks in all cities in India. Travelers check transactions can be time consuming, particularly in small towns.

Everyone’s spending is different, but as a guide we suggest USD15 per day (if you drink or smoke this could be higher). Shopping is difficult to predict, but most people buy more than they intended.
