Even though for some foreigners from USA, Australia and Britain air tickets are cheaper than in their own countries, they travel by trains and buses as they are cheap but also because they get to see India better. As more and more tourists look for a cheap means to travel India, they look for discounts offered online and some even approach the local travel agents after they arrive in India. India's discount travel market is alive and kicking and the growing number of travelers is only going to make it more exciting in the future.
