Budgeting for Gorakhpur trip in two months
honestly you can manage on about 800-1000 rupees a day if you're not splurging. near the station there's a bunch of small eateries on golghar road where a thali will run you 80-100 bucks, and chai is like 10 rupees. for local transport, auto rickshaws are your best bet - most rides within the city are 30-50 rupees, just negotiate before getting in. if you're heading to places like the gorakhnath temple or ramgarh tal, cycle rickshaws are cheaper at around 20-30 rupees for shorter trips.
both those budgets work fine tbh. just a heads up tho, if you're staying near the station, avoid the restaurants right on the main road in front - they're overpriced for tourists. walk 5 mins into the lanes near turkmanpur crossing, you'll find proper dhabas where a full veg meal with dal-roti-sabzi is 50-60 rupees. for mornings, the halwai shops near golghar chauraha sell fresh jalebis and samosas for like 10-15 rupees each.
auto guys near the station will quote 100-150 for short rides, just walk 50 meters away from the station gate and flag one down on the road, the price drops to 40-50. if you're going to the gita press or gorakhnath mandir, the shared tempo vans on the mohaddipur route are only 10 rupees per ride, they're cramped but fast.
The 800-1000 range the other person mentioned is solid, but if you're trying to stretch further, look for the breakfast stalls near the station's platform 1 exit around 7-9am. You'll get kachori-sabzi or poha for 20-30 rupees, much cheaper than a sit-down place. For transport, a day pass on the city buses is only 40 rupees and they run along the main routes like Shahpur to Mohaddipur, so you can skip autos if you're not in a rush. Just keep some change handy because the conductors don't always break large notes.
