To keep the budget within ₹2‑2.5 lakh, book flights and hotels early and consider promotional fare bundles. If you need a shorter trip, omit the extra night in Manila and fly home after Day 5; this reduces accommodation costs by about ₹24,000. For a longer stay, add an extra day in Boracay’s 5‑star resort for a relaxing spa day—just adjust the budget accordingly.
