Image
In this blog, I'll guide you through my budget-friendly yet luxurious Umrah trip, highlighting how you can do the same. Planning the Trip Umrah packages often range from INR 90,000 to INR 2,50,000 per person. However, with a bit of research and planning, I completed my Umrah for just INR 70,000 per person. Here’s how I did it. Affordable Flight Options Typically, flights from India to Jeddah can cost upwards of INR 50,000 per person.

Layovers can be tiring, but they become a highlight of any journey when seasoned with a dash of unexpected gastronomy.
