Mumbai: Four Indian cities — Agra, Ahmedabad, Kochi and Panaji — feature among the Asian Top 10 list of luxurious but affordable destinations.
The survey by global online hotel search site Trivago compiled data from Europe, North and Central America, South America, Oceania, Southeast Asia, Middle East, Asia and Africa.
Agra in UP is second on the list, with an average price of Rs 5,220 per night, followed by Ahmedabad in Gujarat securing the third position with Rs 5,275 per night, the survey revealed.
Kochi is in the seventh position in the list, with Rs 5,660 per night, on an average, while Panaji in Goa is on the eighth position, at an average of Rs 5,673 per night, it said.

Prices for top star hotels in Panaji and Kochi are quite favourable right now to enjoy high quality at better price,” Trivago India’s representative Abhinav Kumar said.
China’s Zhuhai city topped the list at Rs 4,169 per night, the survey revealed.
