Breaking down the real costs of remote work away from metro cities, a digital creator couple revealed they spent ₹96,600 for a month-long living and working experience in Ladakh. The workcation expenses included accommodation, food, scooter rentals, and travel from Manali to Leh with a return flight to Delhi.
The couple explained that they initially thought they would be able to find accommodation for ₹15,000 or maximum ₹20,000. “Socha tha ₹15,000 mein room mil jayega”.
However, they ended up paying ₹30,000 for a month for a “decent stay”. The couple explained that they paid ₹1000 per night for their accommodation.
