New Delhi, June 9 -- over the past few years, social feeds have felt saturated with the exact same photos of Bali swings, Hanoi train streets, and Dubai skylines.

But for someone who hates crowds and wants a destination that actually feels like an adventure without draining the bank account, I turned to Gemini for help.

I want to plan an offbeat international trip from India for a couple with a total ballpark budget of Rs.1.5 Lakh to Rs.2 Lakh, including flights.

We want to completely avoid regular tourist hotspots like Thailand, Vietnam, Bali, and Dubai. What are some highly underrated, beautiful, and culturally unique destinations where the Indian Rupee is strong, and we can manage a memorable 5 to 7-day vacation within this budget?...
