What it's actually like here

Living in the "City of Lakes" as a digital nomad is genuinely affordable. You can snag a 1-bedroom apartment for around $220 in the center, or even $140 outside, making it a fantastic pick for budget-conscious nomads. Eating out is a steal too, with a cheap meal setting you back just $2. This city is perfect for those who prioritize a low cost of living and want to immerse themselves in Indian culture. Internet is decent at 40 Mbps, and with 8 co-working spaces, you'll find places to plug in. English proficiency is medium, so you'll get by, but a few local phrases will go a long way. The main caveat? The air quality can be a bit challenging, so pack your air filter or plan your day accordingly. Overall, it's a vibrant, budget-friendly hub for an adventurous nomad.
