The following destinations offer accommodation, transportation, and food for less. Kyrgyzstan, $25/day Kyrgyzstan is the choice for most travelers interested in trying out Central Asia, and most well-suited to travelers of all budgets. Food is cheap, so is getting around using the minibuses. You can find hostels and local home stays for less than $10. Meals cost $4 $8 per day.
