If going remote, take more cash - like 10,000 - 15,000 rupees as backup. but make sure where you are staying they have proper lockers. dont leave your money outside unsupervised. if in cities where atms and swipe machines are easily available just carry 2000 rupees or so at any point to be safe.
its fine to carry 5000 - 7000 rupees on you. you dont need to but you;ll need cash at a lot of places. so its relatively safe. when you need more, withdraw from the atm
we lived in proper hotels and did not eat street food - we landed up spending like 5000 rupees per person per day in the bigger cities. reduce 20% of that in smaller towns.
if really on a budget, you can get by with 15-20 dollars a day. but big cities are not cheap - if you want to eat at decent places and do tours etc. you need 3000-4000 rupees a day at the very least.
