What is the general cost of travelling in India with regards to accommodation, transport, eating out etc.? Are there decent places to visit, stay and eat on a budget or do tourists need to spend a lot of money for basic amenities? And for transport, is it best to rent a car or use public transport?

Accomodation: Budget hotel rooms starts from Rs. 100 to Rs. 1500.Not very expensive.Foreigners can afford.

Transport: Use Metro(only in Delhi,Calcutta),Buses,Auto,Cycle-rickshaw.->cheap . Otherwise hire your own vehicle @ Rs.7/Km.(Delhi rate,varies from place to place)

Eating out: Good hygenic restaurants available everywhere.Drink only packaged water.Your immunity may not be as strong as ours.Again cheap and affordable.

Overall India is cheap for Europeans,Americans and other white colored.They are considered rich and often targeted by touts.Beware at bus stands,markets,railway statios,public places etc./.Indians are friendly and warm hearted.They are as curious about you as you are about them.Talk,mix,interact,discuss.Maintain a distance if you are not comfortable.It is a beautiful country full of contradictions. Just go out and enjoy.

Read Anand's response, thought I'll disagree on a point... No, the Rs 100 a night is definitly not for the faint hearted! People used to basic sanitation and hygiene in the west will find that unlike the B&B in the west, these are extremely uncomfortable to the point of disgust. And prices vary a lot from city to city. I would highly reccomend investing in the 'Lonely Planet' travel guide before travelling to/in India
