10 days into the trip we've been through 3 states (Maharastra, Goa, Karnataka) and spent approx £165 (minus the spa time!) so about £17 per day.
Summary of costs:
Cheapest accom: £3.50
Most expensive: £13
Cheapest meal (including drinks): £1.20
Most expensive: £11.50
Least spent on single trip: 25p bus. Rickshaws from 60p to £3.50
Most spent on single trip: 2A/C train Goa to Hospet (Hampi) £10.
I guessed you could travel the same sort of route as us for as little as £8 per day if you ate in cheap places, (which isn't hard or that bad) travelled in unreserved second class (which would be hot and painful) and stayed in cell like digs (who really wants to do that?!).
At the opposite end of the scale, virtually everywhere you go there's somewhere to stay that'll set you back £150+ per night. Nilaya Hermitage, Goa = £ per night, for example!!!
The route so far:
1 - 10 Mumbai - Konkan Coast - Goa - Hampi.
11 - 14 Mysore - Kochi

Days 11 - 13
We have a 12 hour night train and a 12 hour night bus coming up, which I'm not that enthused about. I am assured the bus is a lot better than the near hell I endured on a night bus in Rajasthan (North India) two years ago.
On the train we travel by what they call 2AC, or second class with air con. This basically means you have 2 seats come beds one above the other in a compartment that sleeps four. You can get 3AC which is 3 up on either side. First class, which I haven't ever booked in time to travel in, is 2 and 4 berth compartments with locking doors and meals included.
