Revenue
How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Udhagamandalam?
Gross bookings per Udhagamandalam listing averaged ₹519,466 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Tamil Nadu average: ₹383,237), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Udhagamandalam listing brings in ₹135,000 in May, its best month, and ₹48,400 in September, its slowest. November runs within 3% of September, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 36% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.
In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least 6.3 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn ₹191,000+ a month, about 5.2 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn ₹100,000 or more, roughly ₹63,000 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about ₹36,900 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn ₹15,700 or less, about 43% of the median.
These are monthly figures for listings active in each month. The annual average above also counts listings that operated for only part of the year, so it runs below twelve times these figures.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Udhagamandalam Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Udhagamandalam Airbnb took in ₹519,466 in the 12 months to September 2026, an average that counts every active listing, including those open only part of the year. A listing in the top quarter took in about ₹1,409,300, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about ₹85,800 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money.
These amounts come before housing costs. Where the mortgage or rent is less each month, the difference is profit; a home owned outright keeps it all after property tax, home insurance and any building or condo fees.

How Udhagamandalam's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Udhagamandalam listings are booked on 36% or more of their nights, against 21% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of ₹5,770 adds about ₹57,700 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge ₹10,800 a night or more, against a median of ₹5,770. That is a separate ranking from the busiest quarter, so the two marks don't multiply into one listing's takings. For the average listing, a 10% higher rate on the nights it already books adds about ₹50,700 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, May brings the average listing about ₹135,000, against ₹48,400 in September, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Udhagamandalam listings average 4.46 stars, and 5% carry Airbnb's Guest Favorite badge, which guests can filter for.
What a listing keeps comes down to the figures this page measures: nightly rate, nights booked and the months it's open. A listing at the top-quarter mark takes in about ₹117,400 a month, against ₹43,300 for the average one.
