Methodology

Every number is composed from a defensible base rate (observed 2026 market prices) and region/altitude/season multipliers (state tourism department tariffs, NHAI taxi rate circulars, IHM hospitality averages). Destinations with permit or park-entry fees carry destination-specific overrides. Each row is tagged with source_ref.
