You travel in any place in Karnataka. Why the hotel food are costlier. Recently I travelled through Trichy, Tanjavoor, Kumbhakonam and other places in Tamil Naadu. For a person of average income, the breakfast is affordable in quality and quantity and a good lunch is available for Rs.20/-. Whereas you travel little interior from Bangalore the size of coffe plastic cup shrinks and the rate is Rs.5/- and above only.
