13. Kyrgyzstan, $25/day
Kyrgyzstan is the country of choice for most travelers interested in trying out Central Asia, and thus most well-suited to travelers of all budgets. Food is cheap and interesting, so is getting around using the minibuses. Public transportation prices are fixed and is probably the cheapest aspect of traveling in Kyrgyzstan. As for accommodation, you can find hostels in major destinations, and local home stays in more rural places for less than $10. If you are doing a multi-day hike like the Tian Shan Mountains, the tour price should include most things.
Meals: $4 – $8 per day
Accommodation: $8 – $12 per night in a hostel or a local guesthouse
Transportation: $0.20 for a local minibus ride, or $4 for an intercity bus ride – that’s right!
SIM card with data: $3 for 3GB with 30-day validity. Though I wouldn’t expect it to work in the mountains
