Keep reading to find a quick overview of every country, places to visit there, things to do, some tips and tricks and the average range of a day's cost in each country.
Nepal
Nepal is considered one of the cheapest tourist places in world, and it is a landlocked country located in South Asia that borders China in the north and India in the south, east, and west. This beautiful country has eight of the world's ten tallest mountains, including Mount Everest, the highest point on Earth. Traveling to Nepal is very popular because it is one of the world’s cheapest places for mountain trekking, whether guided or independent. However, take care when it comes to trekking as Mt. Everest, in particular, costs too much money. There are routes throughout the Himalayas that are very well-supported and have many tea houses where you can eat and sleep. A private room in a tea house and three delicious meals a day costs about $20. Usually, when you stay in a tea house, you can negotiate to have your room for free if you agree to eat at the tea house! Don’t miss visiting Pashupatinath Temple and Kathmandu Durbar Square which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Daily cost: about $20 to $35.
Cambodia
Located in Southeast Asia, Cambodia is bordered by Thailand to the northwest, Laos to the northeast, and Vietnam to the east. Cambodia is one of the cheapest places to travel in the world as you can easily spend a month in Cambodia with just $1000. One of Cambodia's main attractions is Angkor Thom which was the last and most enduring capital city of the Khmer empire. Several monuments from earlier eras are located within Angkor Thom such as Bapuon, Phimeanakas, and the Royal Palace. You can also enjoy swinging in a hammock on the quiet island of Koh Rong Sanloem, or river boating and hiking in the Cardamom Mountains.
Daily cost: about $25 to $45.
Vietnam
Vietnam sits in Southeast Asia, with China to the north and Laos and Cambodia to the west. It is one of the cheapest travel destinations in the world, and street food is the main reason to go: a bowl of pho, rice noodles in a rich broth with fresh cilantro, usually costs very little. In Hanoi you can visit the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum and walk around Hoàn Kiếm Lake. In the south, the Cu Chi Tunnels are an easy trip from Ho Chi Minh City, and Ha Long Bay in the northeast is worth a day or two on a boat.
Daily cost: about $25, including a guest house, food, and transport.
Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka is an island country in South Asia, in the Indian Ocean just off the southern tip of India. Most of the main sights are in the center of the island. In Kandy you can visit the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic and the Royal Botanical Gardens. Sigiriya, the rock fortress, is close to Dambulla, where you’ll find the Royal Cave Temple and the Golden Temple. For hiking, head to Horton Plains National Park. Safaris and tickets to the UNESCO World Heritage sites are the expensive parts of a trip, so plan your budget around them. Take the train at least once: it’s the cheapest way to get around, and a relaxing way to see the country.
Daily cost: about $30, including food, transport, and accommodation.
Egypt
From renowned historical attractions to world-class dive sites, golden Mediterranean and Red Sea beaches, desert oases, and natural alternative healing spots, Egypt has something for almost everyone. While the most famous landmark is The Pyramids and all Pharaohs, Roman and Greek monuments, Egypt has so many underrated spots of entertainment which are considered one of the best in the world, especially reef beaches, islands, and natural reserves. However, the cost of travel in Egypt is so cheap and full of value too, with a rich cultural history, top-class delicious food, helpful locals, incredible regional diversity, great tea, wild nightlife, and a lot to do.
Daily cost: from about $20, rising with the activities you choose. 
India
India covers most of South Asia, so you could spend years backpacking here and still not see half of it. The big sights include the Taj Mahal, the Red Fort, Qutub Minar, Amber Palace, Hawa Mahal, and the Ganges. Prices are often negotiable: if you walk into local guesthouses, restaurants, and tour companies in person, you can often pay about half of what is quoted online. Even 5-star hotels cost much less than in most countries.
Daily cost: from $30 to $35, if you stay in cheap guesthouses, take second-class trains, and avoid Western food. Prices go up with the comfort level you choose.
Turkey
Turkey sits in both Europe and Asia, which makes it one of the cheapest countries for tourism and an easy place to cross overland from one continent to the other. It was once home to the Byzantine and Ottoman Empires, so you’ll find Roman ruins and cave cities, along with busy bazaars and golden Mediterranean beaches. A traditional gulet sailboat cruise is worth doing. In Istanbul, visit the Blue Mosque, and in Pamukkale, see the white travertines. For the pricier historical sites, a five-day Museum Pass Istanbul covers 13 sites and gives discounts at many more. Street food is cheap, and the balık ekmek, a fish sandwich, is worth trying.
Daily cost: about $30 to $50.
Albania
Albania is one of the top low budget tourist places in the world, known for its mountain landscapes, historical landmarks, and traditional food. Hotels and services here offer good quality at lower prices than in many other destinations. Most trips start in the capital, Tirana, where you can visit the National Historical Museum and Tirana Castle. South of Tirana, Berat is a good second stop for its old hillside town. Lake Ohrid, which Albania shares with North Macedonia, is worth a visit for its scenery.
Daily cost: about $30 to $45.
Indonesia
Indonesia is one of the cheapest travel destinations in the world. It sits in Southeast Asia, between the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, and is best known for its nature and relaxed pace. Bali is the most famous island, with clear blue seas and golden beaches, plus museums, caves, markets, and waterfalls if you want a break from the beach. For lower prices than Bali, try other islands such as the Gili Islands, off the northwest coast of Lombok and reachable by boat from Bali.
Daily cost: about $25 to $35.
