Book a HotelTo stretch the budget further, consider staying in a shared dormitory in **Vagator** instead of Calangute, which can save up to ₹200 per night, and replace one dinner with a self‑cooked meal using groceries from the local market. If you have an extra day, add a visit to **Palolem Beach** in South Goa; the extra bus fare (~₹120) and a night in a budget guesthouse (~₹500) keep the total under ₹11,000, still very affordable for a student.
