Travelling to and fro India: The Currency Converter: The gains and the losses

Having just flown to and from India, a handy tip for travelers, HK$1,000 is about Inr 10,431.

Didn't have time to head to HSBC or Chung King Mansion (where there are two Money Exchange and Currency Converter booths) which give somewhat similar rates. 

At Hong Kong airport, HK$1,000 got me Inr 9,800, but in Bangalore airport, with Thomas Cook, got Inr 9,200.

Lesson learned. Change the $$ before travel. Never changing currency in an Indian airport again!
