Manali Couple’s Viral Video: What is the monthly expenses of the viral couple living in Manali? How much does a couple pay for rent for their house in Manali? Why is there a debate on this video on social media?
Amidst the rising inflation and stressful life in metropolitan cities, a video is going viral on social media, which has attracted the attention of thousands of people. In the video, a married couple claims that they are doing ‘work from home’ while living in the beautiful tourist destination Manali of Himachal Pradesh and their entire monthly expenditure is less than Rs 12 thousand.
In this video shared on Instagram by an account named @twovagabondmonks, the couple has shared the complete details of their monthly expenses, which has left many people surprised.
5 thousand rupees fare, spectacular view of Himalayas
In the video, the couple tells that they live in a one-room-kitchen apartment in Manali. The most special thing is that the snowy peaks of the Himalayas are directly visible from the window of the house. The monthly rent of this house is only Rs 5,000.
However, the flat was not fully furnished, so he bought the necessary items himself. At the same time, the electricity bill also comes to less than Rs 300, which is considered much lower as compared to big cities.
Thousands of rupees are saved by eating home food and traveling on foot.
According to the couple, they cook most of the food at home. Due to this, their monthly ration expenditure is limited to around Rs 4,000. Sometimes, when they feel like eating out or are unable to prepare food for some reason, they go to a local café, which incurs an additional expense of up to Rs 1,500.
Since both work from home, there is no need to go to office daily. They mostly walk on foot to roam around the surrounding areas, due to which the expenditure on vehicle and petrol remains only around Rs 500 a month.
Users divided on social media, some praised and some raised questions
After the video went viral, different reactions of people are being seen on the internet. Many users appreciated the couple’s lifestyle and their way of living a better life with less expenses. One user wrote, “For the amount of money that people spend to visit Manali, they are spending an entire month.”
Some people also raised questions on this claim. He says that transportation and other facilities are not so cheap in Himachal Pradesh. One user wrote that the cost of taxi in Manali is very high, hence it is not easy to travel for the whole month in Rs 500.
However, the video has once again sparked a debate on whether one can leave the expensive life of big cities and live a less expensive and better life in the mountains. This is the reason why this video is becoming increasingly viral and remains a topic of discussion among people.
