1. Vietnam
Vietnam remains among the least expensive travel destinations anywhere, with street food, budget accommodations, and transit at an almost negligible cost, as you get enthralled in the hustle and bustle of Hanoi or the fine, fine beaches of Da Nang.

Tbilisi, the capital of the country, shows an interesting contrast between the medieval and the modern spirit. Looking up at local wines, splendid mountainous scenery, and incredibly cheap lodgings, backpacking travelers find Georgia an underrated budget trip in 2025.
3. Indonesia
Outside of Bali, budget travel state-of-mind abounds in Yogyakarta and Lombok in Indonesia. Expect beach fun, ancient temples, and the world market for about the prices of some regional magazines.
4. Bolivia
Bolivia is truly for a budget adventurer. The majestic charms of the Salt Flat of Salar de Uyuni and Lake Titicaca and local culture are very likely experienced on a rare string-budget not to be found in neighboring countries.
5. Albania

6. Mexico
Though this one seems like an obvious destination for budget tourists, Mexico is breathtaking with cities like Oaxaca and Guanajuato that offer extremely cheap accommodation, street food of heavenly goodness, and such richness of culture. Give Cancun a miss, and enjoy more savings.
