Haj cost from Hyderabad among lowest in the country

Expenses for Haj pilgrimage from the Hyderabad embarkation point is among the lowest in the country, according to official data.

Making the pilgrimage from Hyderabad tentatively costs a total of ₹3,05,173, and is the third lowest after the Bengaluru and Mumbai embarkation points. The relatively lower cost comes as a relief to Haj applicants given the fact that most of them use their savings accumulated over several years to make the pilgrimage.

“The cost of the pilgrimage is highest if one makes the trip from the Gaya (Bihar) embarkation point. The tentative cost there is a little over ₹4 lakh. The difference with Hyderabad is around ₹1 lakh,” an official of Telangana State Haj Committee (TSHC) said.
