      You are most welcome Mayuri! So glad you found it helpful and I hope it does tempt you enough to plan a trip 🙂 Do let me know if you have any questions while planning!

  2. This is an ultimate guide, Namita! Absolutely loved it! I checked for flight tickets to Cuba from Delhi a few days back and it costs whopping INR 1,30,500. I mean, It costs a fortune to get to the Carribean Island. So, obviously, I dropped the plan to travel to Cuba and instead booked tickets for Nordics. I never knew that flying via New York is an option that costs low. Thanks for sharing these amazing tips. I have bookmarked your post for future reference.

      Thanks a ton Anjali! And yes the flights are prohibitively expensive from India, unless you fly in from the US. I flew Kuwait Airways and United Airlines and that was INR 52k + 20k. And this I booked just 2 weeks before the trip (coz that’s when I knew I had been selected by the Yoga retreat company for their press week) so if you book months in advance you could get a much better deal! Hope you do that someday and keep me posted! Glad to be of help in planning your adventures 🙂

    Great post! I just read the book “Next Year in Havana” and it made me a bit hesitant to want to travel there since it still has so many issues! But the country is so enticing!
