A 5 days trip to Singapore from India

How do you plan a trip to Singapore from India on your own instead of a guided tour ? Singapore is one of the most sought after destinations for holiday with family and kids . Even more so with kids. It’s particularly loved amongst Indians. Since the country has a substantial Indian populations. Thus, Indian food and Indian culture is all over Singapore 🙂 . And it is also located at a flying distance of just 4 hours from India.  Moreover, Singapore makes for an idle destination to visit in May and June, when it’s kid’s summer vacation time in India!! As we took a 5 days trip to Singapore from India, we realised it is very easy to plan a 5 days trip to Singapore from India. And you can do all the planning on your own. So, in this blog post, we will tell you how you can plan your own 5 days trip to Singapore from India, while we were pondering where to go next after our beautiful Meghalaya trip. 

Table of Contents

Prior to your 5 days trip to Singapore from India

Prior to your trip, you need to do your bookings and obtain your Singapore VISA. Bookings would include:

• A round trip flight ticket to Singapore from your starting city in India
• Your accommodation
• Tickets to the attractions that you want to visit

Booking your flight for your 5 days trip to Singapore from India

To book your flight, compare different flight options at skyscanner.in or similar website. And choose the one that suits you the best. Since there are many flights from Delhi, Chennai, Bangalore and other major cities of India to Singapore. Do try these tips and tricks to score cheaper flights . We flew scoot airlines on our own trip to Singapore, having booked the tickets through makemytrip . It is an economical airlines. Here, we had the choice to just book a round trip ticket with a cabin luggage only option. And then later we could top it up anytime, up to a couple of hours before flying. The top-ups included:

• Buying a check-in luggage option by paying a nominal fee.
• Choice of a meal from the given options online on scoot airlines website at a minimal cost.
• Web check-in with reserving the seats of our choice.

For a 5 days trip to Singapore, if you pack wisely, you can easily accommodate your luggage in a cabin only backpack or small trolley bag. We did the same for our trip, and easily accomplished it using our travel packing tricks that we use frequently now. The best advantage of a cabin only luggage is that you need not wait for your checked in luggage, which often wastes more than half an hour of time.

Singapore VISA for your 5 days trip to Singapore from India

Indians require a VISA to visit Singapore. Singapore VISA is applied online. But in India, there are authorized agents who do it. You will definitely find one in your city. For South India, the VISA applications are processed from Chennai embassy while for North India from Delhi embassy. The VISA application costs around INR 1500 at the time of this writing. And the agents add a small application processing fee on top of it. We went with Thomas Cook to get our VISA application processed, however, we didn’t have an idle experience with them. Read this article for the details of how to get the Singapore VISA from India, what documents are required etc.

Booking an accommodation for your 5 days trip to Singapore from India

Singapore has many different accommodation options. Depending on what suits you, choose one at least 3 months in advance and book online to get better deals. There are hundreds of accommodations (hostels, hostels, apartments, B&Bs) listed on Booking.com and Agoda.com , our favorite go to sites for accommodation booking. 

If you are traveling with friends or backpacking solo, and are on a strict budget, then there are many hostels that cost as low as INR650 per night. If you are traveling with friends or family and want to have a private space, then go for one of the many service apartment options. They range from economy to luxury. Similarly, there are many hotel options, ranging from economy (starting at INR 2500 per night) and going to luxury and super luxury. But you must book your accommodation in advance for the mid-range options, since get filled up the fastest. 

If possible book something which is close to the attractions that are on your must visit list. And also close to a public transport like a MRT station.

Our hotel in Singapore

We booked our Singapore hotel, Hotel Parc Sovereign , through agoda.com . For our trip to Singapore in the year 2018 . The reason we booked this accommodation was:

• There was free cancellation till 4 days before our travel, with total refund.
• We needed to make the payment only 4 days before our travel, although we had booked the rooms 2 months in advance.
• Most of the airbnb options and service apartments were not cancellable.
• The hotel is located quite near to Kitchener Road, where there are many Indian Food Restaurants. So, we thought it would be convenient for our  elderly parents taking the trip with us, to walk and have Indian food, as they accompanied us on this trip
• The hotel was also near to most of the attractions that we wanted to visit like Sentosa Island, Merlion, Gardens by the Bay etc.
• There is a MRT at around 600m from the hotel, again, walkable.

What to pack for a trip to Singapore from India

Singapore has hot and humid climate all through the year. As such, you need to pack really light cloths. Checkout our comprehensive travel packing checklist to help you pack the right travel accessories , your camera for the travel and travel essentials that you must have . Also, if you are traveling with baby, toddler or kids like we us, you should definitely checkout our travel packing essentials that are made for kids ! We don’t go anywhere without them. Last, but not the least, don’t forget to pack your essential medicines for travel when traveling to Singapore. It is not easy to procure a medicine there if required. My father forgot his insulin and he couldn’t get any in Singapore without first visiting a doctor, going through a thorough assessment and then obtaining a prescription !

Deciding the things to do and places to see

There are many things to do and places to see in Singapore. Of course, not all can be done on a 5 days trip to Singapore. So, you need to choose. If you are traveling with a group of friends or doing a solo trip to Singapore , you might have a different kind of interest area than when you are traveling with family and kids. Also, whether you are interested in shopping or food, adventure or calm trip, it all would determine what you would want to add to your 5 days trip to Singapore from India.

We visited Singapore with our parents and our kid. Thus, we added things to our own 5 days trip to Singapore from India, so that they balance the interest of everyone. Accordingly, I am categorizing the things, and you can choose one or more of them. The one in Italics are the ones we were able to cover on our trip:

• Kids friendly attractions : Singapore Zoo , River Safari , Night S afari , Jurong Bird Park , Universal Studio Singapore , SEA Aquarium , Dolphin Island, Butterfly park & Insect Kingdom
• Other attractions : Gardens by the bay , Merlion , Marina Bay , Botanical Gardens, Singapore Flyer
• Shopping options: Orchard Road and the numerous malls there, Mustafa Center on Kitchener Road , Bugis Street Market, Little India

Booking tickets to the attractions

For most of the attractions that require an entry ticket, you can book the ticket online. The prices are fixed. So, you can book them anytime before your trip. This will save you time waiting in the queue at the entrance to the attractions to book your ticket. However, the queues here are not too long, like the ones for attractions in Europe that we visited last year like the Vatican in Rome ,  Engelberg and Mount Titlis or the entrance ticket to Keukenhof Tulip Gardens .

For Singapore, we had booked online the combo tickets to the Singapore Zoo , night safari, river safari and jurong bird park, which was discounted compared to the individual tickets. We had also booked the tickets to Universal Studio online. Rest all, we had thought we will book on the fly as and when we decide to visit somewhere.

Day 1 of your 5 days trip to Singapore from India

Always keep the first day light. As you need some time to give yourself after your flight, check-in and landing into a new place, before you can start full fledged exploration. Also Singapore timezone is 2.5 hrs ahead of India, which means, there might be a slight jet lag on the first day. Particularly with kids.

On the first day of our 5 days trip to Singapore from India, we arrived in Singapore at 8:30am in the morning. However, clearing immigration took around an hours time as there was a long queue. From the airport, we then went straight to Kitchener Road and had breakfast/lunch there in Shravana Bhavan , a South Indian Food Joint. Also, we bought some fruits from nearby grocery store. From here, we walked to our hotel and reached there by around 12:00 pm. Although the hotel check-in time was 3:00 pm. But luckily, our rooms got ready by 1:00 pm and then we shifted to our room and took rest for couple of hours.

Evening, we had planned to visit Marina Bay , Gardens by the Bay and Merlion . Later, while returning from there, we again had dinner at the same road, in a restaurant next to Shravana Bhavan. In fact, for the rest of the trip we visited this area for breakfast and dinner since we could easily get many Indian Restaurants here which was really convenient for our parents.

Day 2 of your 5 days trip to Singapore from India

On the second day of our 5 days trip to Singapore from India, we visited Universal Studio. We had kept the previous day light. So, we had a good night’s sleep to wake up fresh today. Post breakfast, we headed to Universal Studio on the Sentosa Island. Inside Universal Studio, we tried to mix the activities so that both we and our kid would enjoy. So, we did some kid friendly rides, some adventure rides for adults and enjoyed the Shrek 4 D Adventure movie as well. There are plenty of food options inside Universal Studio but most of them are fast food options, and there are very limited options for vegetarians. You could carry packaged and sealed snacks from outside as well. Open food containers are not allowed as per the information on the internet, but, we didn’t have any of our bags checked.

Day 3 of your 5 days trip to Singapore from India

After a day full of fun at Universal Studio Singapore, today, we headed to Sentosa Island to visit rest of the attractions here. Our day started with a visit to SEA Aquarium, which is considered one of the best aquarium parks in the world. It look us much more than the anticipated amount of time to complete our trip of SEA Aquarium, Singapore since our little one spent time appreciating each and every variety of fish that she could see. When we came out of there by noon, we had lunch near the Malaysian Food Court between the SEA Aquarium and Universal Studio entrances. Thereafter we roamed around the Sentosa Island before heading back to the main city of Singapore. We intended to cover the Butterfly park and Insect Kingdom as well. But we couldn’t as the kid was very sleepy. If you can, do add them next to your itinerary. In fact, you could add the Sentosa Island Attractions in the following order on this day of your trip:

• SEA Aquarium
• Butterfly park and Insect Kingdom
• Dolphin Show
• Cable Car ride back to the main island of Singapore

Day 4 of your 5 days trip to Singapore from India

Today, start the day with visiting the Singapore Zoo as we did. Either reach early and have breakfast at one of the restaurants at the entrance of the zoo. Or, you can book a “ breakfast with Orangutans ” which your kids will definitely love. There are a couple of vegetarian Indian food options on almost all the restaurants either outside or inside the Singapore zoo. If you explore the zoo properly, it will take you around 5-6 hours easily. Arrive a little late in the zoo in case you want to combine the zoo trip with river safari and night safari otherwise you will get exhausted by evening.

Read: Visiting Singapore Zoo with kids

Once done visiting the Singapore zoo, you could get out of the zoo and get into the river safari zone which has entrance just besides the zoo. We headed for the river safari by 5:00 pm. It can be done in around 2 hours. After the river safari is over, you can have dinner at one of the cafes or restaurants in front of the zoo / river safari area. And then proceed for the night safari. The night safari starts post 7:00 pm. It will take you along the trails in the Singapore Zoo at night, where you can see the active nocturnal animals.

Day 5 of your 5 days trip to Singapore from India

Today, being the last day of our trip to Singapore, we again kept it light. Our hotel check-out was around 12:00 pm. And our flight was in the evening. So, we visited the Jurong Bird park in the morning and had breakfast near there. Then we checked-out from our hotel by around 12:00 pm. We left our luggage at the hotel reception and ventured out for some food and shopping. Upon returning, we collected our luggage and proceeded to the Changi Airport . The Changi Airport is nothing less than a grand visiting place in itself. So, we explored the Airport before saying goodbye to Singapore. 

PS: As always, ourselves being travellers with full time day jobs , we could spend only 5 days on our Singapore trip. If you have more time at hand, you can try other attractions in Singapore including Comic Con Singapore , Adventure Cove Waterpark , Changai Airport Attractions , Singapore river cruise , skyline , cable car sky pass , The Maritime Experiential Museum , Snow City Singapore , Sightseeing Bus Tour , Pororo Park  and  Trick eye museum . We have saved these to try on our next trip to Singapore 🙂 . In case you are exploring many attractions, it’s a good idea to go for an uber pass like an Unlimited attractions pass which will include the entry to many of the attractions. It will give flexibility and will be economical too.

Wow, what an exciting adventure! Your detailed account of a 5-day trip to Singapore from India is not only informative but also incredibly inspiring. I’ve been considering a similar journey, and your blog post has provided me with a wealth of valuable insights and tips.

I couldn’t help but wonder if you had the chance to explore Singapore with a professionally curated Singapore tour package. It’s often the best way to make the most of your trip, ensuring that you don’t miss out on any of the must-see attractions and experiences.

Thanks Ambuj No we didn’t go with a tour package for Singapore. We like to organise and curate our own trips. But, I agree with you, for those who can’t invest much time planning, curated tour packages are the best option

great article, thanks for sharing!

Reading this post felt like re-playing my 5-day itinerary in Singapore with family Very well written. I’ve done and experienced most of the things mentioned here. We actually tried Uber in Singapore and it was a pretty smooth experience. The Uber drivers were extremely polite and made friendly conversations.

True, the drivers and everyone else in Singapore was very helping and we had several such conversations during our visit too

Seems like an awesome adventure. Really feeling to go there. Nice travel packing tips.

Thank you Sejal!

BUS TO SINGAPORE EXPLORE

Any road tripper worth their salt would love to indulge in at least one excursion on a bus. We have you covered, as we offer two ground-breaking Epic Bus Journeys. Hop onto the longest bus journey in the world, Bus to London or the exciting Bus to Singapore, for an experience to remember.

Adventures Overland has launched its very own dream bus which will recreate the vibrant era gone by where hordes of young men and women packed themselves in “magic buses” and travelled overland from Europe to Asia, in search of ‘enlightenment’. Mid-1950s to the late 1970s was the period during which this trend of journeying overland peaked, and saw thousands undertake the almost impossible in vehicles. Now, the time has come to roll that dice the other way! How would you feel about becoming a part of the longest bus journey in the world spanning two continents, 18 countries and covering 20,000 km? Bus to London is the biggest, the grandest and the most epic bus journey in the world, and you have a chance to experience it first-hand. After reaching London, the bus will embark on its maiden journey back home taking the same route to reach India.

Covering a distance of 4500 kilometres and traversing five countries in 20 days, Bus to Singapore promises to be a groundbreaking journey that will leave an everlasting impression on your life. As part of the expedition, you will get to cruise upon the silky tarmacs of Asian Highway 1 – the longest highway network in Asia – explore thousands of pagodas in Bagan, witness Burmese culture and sample their exotic cuisine in Yangon (Rangoon).

How to plan a quick trip to Singapore from India?

Panchali Dey , TIMESOFINDIA.COM , TRAVEL TRENDS , SINGAPORE Created : Apr 29, 2022, 16:00 IST

Singapore is one of the most sought-after holiday destinations for Indian travellers, and rightly so. If you are also planning a visit to Singapore, here are the most important tips to get you rolling. With these expert tips, you can simply rest, sit back, and get ready for the trip of your lifetime.

Book your tickets

Before booking your flights, compare different flight options and their costs from various flight booking websites to get the best deal for yourself. You will find many flights flying from Chennai, Delhi, Bengaluru, and other major cities of India to Singapore. You can easily find economical airlines that will offer you the choice to book a round trip ticket, but with a cabin luggage only option. This is not a bad option if you pack wisely, and you also get the option of not waiting for your checked in luggage, which often takes more than half an hour of time.

Get Singapore Visa

Indians will require a visa to visit Singapore, which can be applied for online. Additionally, there are agents who are authorised to help you get it. Likewise, if you are applying for a visa in South India, the visa applications are processed from the Chennai Embassy; in North India, the applications are processed from the Delhi embassy.

Book your accommodation

Singapore will offer you several accommodation options, so it’s always better to book your stay ahead of your trip to save some bucks. It’s even better if you manage to choose a place of stay depending on what suits you, at least 3 months in advance, and get it online to get better deals. Do note, if you are travelling on a tight budget, or are travelling solo, you will find many hostels that come dirt cheap as low as INR 650 per night.

If possible, try to book your place of stay close to the attractions that you have bookmarked on your travel wish list, and close to a public transport like a MRT station.

What to pack?

Since Singapore features a hot and humid climate almost all year round, it’s advisable that you pack light clothes. Don’t forget to pack your camera and travel essentials that you must have. Plus, don’t miss packing your essential medicines for travel, as it will not be an easy task to procure a medicine there if required. In many cases, you will be advised to first visit a doctor, undergo thorough assessment, and then only you can get medicines via prescription.

Pre-book tickets to attractions

Most of the attractions in Singapore will require an entry ticket, which you can get online too. Prices are fixed, and it is advisable that you book them anytime before your trip to save time and avoid waiting in the queue at the entrance to get your ticket. Also, if you go for combo tickets, you will be surprised to see that they will come at prices lower than that compared to the individual tickets.

Singapore is one of the most sought-after holiday destinations for Indian travellers, and rightly so. If you are also planning a visit to Singapore, here are the most important tips to get you rolling...

India to Singapore

Singapore may be small in size, but this country has enough to keep you amazed for months! One of the top tourist destinations in Asia, Singapore is bursting with shopping arenas, theme parks, futuristic gardens, ritzy resorts, eclectic restaurants and heritage sites. When flying from India to Singapore , prepare to land in a wonderland of sorts.

Indians’ Love for Singapore

About 7.5 percent of Singapore’s population is of Indian ethnicity. Also, Tamil (the language commonly spoken in the south Indian state of Tamil Nadu) is one of the 4 official languages of this island country. Heritage aside, Indians have a preference for Singapore when it comes to higher education and jobs. The strong economy and high-quality of life attracts a lot of Indian expats looking to grow in their career.

Even in terms of tourism, Singapore figures on most Indians’ top list of places to travel abroad, especially theirs who have never stepped outside of India. This is mainly because of relative affordability (as compared to other developed countries in the west), short flight duration and reasonable airfare. The abundance of skyscrapers, malls, touristy places, well-connected public transport system, nature parks and activities sure add to the charm of visiting Singapore!

Where is Singapore?

The Republic of Singapore is a city-state that is part of Southeast Asia. This island nation is located off the Malay Peninsula. The Singaporean territory consists of Mainland Singapore, apart from 63 satellite islands or islets and an outlying islet.

Only 3 of these islands are inhabited while 4 are reserved for the Army. Singapore is home to 10 artificial islands that have been reclaimed from the sea. Spread over 728.3 square kilometres, this Asian country lies just 1 degree north of the equator, putting it in the northern hemisphere.

Singapore’s weather is mostly humid, with a dry season from February to April – making it a great time for a vacation. Singapore follows the Singapore Time (SGT) or Singapore Standard Time (SST) which is UTC+8.

India to Singapore Map

Singapore is located to the southeast of India, taking a minimum of 4 hours and 25 minutes to reach. While the Indian Ocean makes it possible to sail from India to Singapore in 4 days, a road trip will mean 52 hours of non-stop driving at the very least.

India to Singapore Distance

The shortest road distance from India to Singapore is 3,536 km while the aerial distance between these two Asian countries is 3,170 km approximately. If one thinks of reaching Singapore via sea, the Port of Singapore is about 1,891 nautical miles away from the Port of Chennai.

Which is Closer to India? Singapore or Malaysia?

Singapore and Malaysia are neighbouring countries, both located in the Indian Ocean. The shortest distance from India to Singapore is almost similar to that from India to Malaysia , a little over 3,000 km. Even the shortest non-stop flights between India and Singapore and India and Malaysia take about 4 hours, placing both the nations neck to neck in competition.

However, one must remember that Singapore is lower than Peninsular Malaysia. If taking the road from India, one will reach Malaysia much before Singapore, making the former much closer to India than the latter. Malaysia is a larger Asian nation, and more diverse in terms of relief features, ethnicities and demography.

Singapore, on the other hand, flaunts a fast-paced lifestyle fuelled by an active start-up scene, an abundance of corporate clout and a thriving community of international students. While this country is mostly a city, there are a wide range of activities to be enjoyed here.

How to Reach Singapore from India?

There are at least 3 ways to reach Singapore from India – by air, by the sea and by land. Thanks to frequent flights, the aerial route remains the most preferred and also the shortest, and sometimes, the cheapest way to travel from India to Singapore . However, the other modes of transport have their own unique excitement.

India to Singapore by Flight

There are numerous flights that leave from various cities in India to Singapore International Airport . The frequency is good and the rates relatively affordable, making this mode of travel the most popular among all others.

Singapore Airport

The main international airport in Singapore is the Changi Airport . All flights from India land at the Singapore Changi Airport . However, this country has another civil airport – Seletar Airport, located in the north-eastern part of the nation. The latter mostly services chartered flights, apart from running flight training for private carriers and their operations.

Along with these two public airports, Singapore is home to 5 military air bases (Changi Air Base West and East, Tengah Air Base, Paya Lebar Air Base and Sembawang Air Base) and an airstrip (Pulau Sudong Airport).

Flight Duration from India

The shortest flights from some south Indian cities to Singapore take 4 hours and 20 minutes while a few more take 4 and a half hours. On an average, non-stop flights between the two countries do not exceed 6 hours. Many Indian cities have direct connections to this island city-state, sometimes, with one or two halts.

Flight Operators from India to Singapore

Flights are available from various Indian airports to Changi International Airport . Airlines that fly non-stop between the two countries are Air India – the national carrier of India, IndiGo, Air-India Express, Singapore Airlines – the national carrier of Singapore, Vistara, Air New Zealand, ANA (All Nippon Airways), SilkAir, Lufthansa, Qantas, Emirates and Jetstar Asia.

Many other airlines also operate on this route, although with at least one stopover. Some of these carriers are flydubai, Cathay Pacific, Biman Bangladesh Airlines, Malaysia Airlines and Etihad. Expect layovers in Abu Dhabi, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Dhaka, Hong Kong and Dubai.

Departing Cities from India and Average Ticket Price

Non-stop flights to Singapore Airport are available from the Indian cities of New Delhi, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Madurai, Kolkata, Chennai, Mumbai and Tiruchirappalli. All of these are facilitated by either the low-cost Air-India Express or the full-fare Air India. For other cities such as Pune, Surat, Cochin and Nagpur, direct connections with layovers are possible.

Chennai to Singapore has the cheapest one-way fare at INR 15,000 per seat for economy class. The most affordable return tickets come at INR 30,000 per head. However, average air tickets cost slightly more, hovering around the INR 20,000 ballpark figure for a single journey.

India to Singapore by Cruise

The sea route between India and Singapore is presently only used for cargo and other business purposes. Commercial cruises are not common even though some special cruise liners publish their itineraries from time to time. At the moment, only Crystal Cruises has a voyage planned.

Slated for a 15-day sail in January 2023, passengers booked on the uber luxurious Crystal Symphony can look forward to a journey that passes not only through India but also Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Thailand and Malaysia to ultimately arrive at Singapore.

Sea Route Distance and Time Taken

The shortest sea route from India to Singapore Port begins at the port of Chennai. The distance of about 1,880 nautical miles can be reached in 5 days at a good sailing speed. However, relaxing cruises are designed to maximize the time at sea to afford the passengers sufficient time to enjoy various amenities aboard.

Cruise Fare

Singapore vacation packages from India that offer a double occupancy suite aboard the swanky Crystal Symphony are priced at upwards of USD 5,300 per person. Exorbitant as it is, the fare goes upwards for higher category suites and meals at restaurants that boast of 6-star service.

India to Singapore by Road

Once an impossibility, driving down to Singapore from India is now quite doable. The India-Myanmar-Thailand Trilateral Highway provides excellent connectivity to a lot of Southeast Asian countries, including Singapore.

The shortest distance by road between India and Singapore is 3,535 km. Starting from the north-eastern Indian state of Manipur, the IMT Trilateral Highway passes through Myanmar and Thailand. Thereafter, there is road connectivity through Malaysia, before you have to get on one of the bridges that connect Malaysia to Singapore.

You can either take the Seletar Expressway (SLE) or the Second Link Expressway E3 to cross over to Singapore from Malaysia. The entire journey from India to Singapore will take approximately 53 hours without stops. However, a reasonable estimate is 5 days or more, including time for rest and meals.

Visiting Singapore from various Indian Cities

Most of the tier-1 and tier-2 Indian cities have either non-stop or direct flights with halts to Singapore’s Changi International Airport . If travelling from smaller cities, you might have to book a domestic flight to one of the airports that have a suitable connection to  Singapore.

Respect to Singapore’s Culture & Sentiments

Singapore’ history & culture is a mix of Eastern and Western influences. The ever-increasing influx of foreigners in a land where multiple ethnicities are present underscores the importance of being respectful to everyone.

What to Do and What Not To

Follow these tips to have a smooth time in Singapore:

• Address elders as “uncle” or “auntie” to give honour and appear polite.
• Eating or littering is prohibited on most sidewalks and public transport. Disobeying these rules can attract huge fines and punishment in the form of community service or jail term.

Fortunately, Singapore does not have a dress code, and visitors are free to wear whatever they are comfortable in. One must keep in mind the hot and humid climate of this island country though. Light, breathable fabrics and flip flops are great for sightseeing. However, it’s nice to have something stylish if you’re going to a fine-dining restaurant.

What to Carry

Singapore’ weather warrants lots of sunscreen, a pair of shades and an umbrella or a raincoat for those unseasonal showers. If you have Singapore walking tours on your itinerary, wear comfy shoes and carry a backpack with water to keep you hydrated.

Things to Note if Travelling with Kids

Singapore tour packages from India that cater to families with children offer much for the little ones, at the same time, putting the parents’ worries to rest. Some pointers for travelling with kids:

• There are plenty of free attractions for toddlers such as the Singapore cable car in Sentosa or Gardens by the Bay (Children’s Garden only). And if you are paying, there is the SEA Aquarium, Science Centre and lots of theme parks.
• Thanks to the robust medical infrastructure, in case you have an emergency, you can ensure proper treatment for your child in Singapore.

Activities & Things to Do

Exciting activities to do in Singapore are:

Adventure Sports

Thrill-seekers rejoice! Singapore offers night safari, F1, indoor skydiving and even water sports like scuba diving, snorkelling, river safari, stand-up paddle boating, reverse bungee, kayaking and indoor surfing to holidayers.

Whether you wish to buy electronics for yourself or souvenirs for family or just window shop, the countless malls and shopping streets of Singapore will baffle you. Pick Orchard Road for high-end malls and branded articles or head to Chinatown or Little India for big bargains.

Explore the Parks & Gardens

It is not just nature reserves but manmade gardens that add to the greenery of Singapore. Stroll through Gardens by the Bay, Fort Canning Park or Singapore Botanic Gardens among several others.

What to do in Singapore for Honeymoon

The ideal Singapore honeymoon package will include various romantic activities like a river cruise along Clarke Quay. A dinner date at the top of Marina Bay Sands, with a bird’s eye view of the entire nation or a night of drinking and dancing at a beach bar in Sentosa are other ideas.

What to do in Singapore with Family

To keep the whole family entertained, a trip to Universal Studios Singapore is highly recommended. If the heart-thumping rides are too wild for your comfort, watch the fireworks and waterworks near the Merlion or visit Singapore Zoo or Jurong Bird Park to feel one with nature.

What to do in Singapore on a Budget

Loads of free things in Singapore await the travel on a shoestring budget. Listen to a live concert at the Esplanade, try the tree-top walk at MacRitchie Reservoir or go on a trail hike to Mount Faber Park or Chestnut Nature Park.

What to do in Singapore for Non Swimmers

Buying Travel Insurance

When embarking on an international road trip from India, one thing I learned through personal experience is the immense value of purchasing travel insurance. It’s not just an option; it’s a crucial necessity that can make or break your journey. Let me share with you the insights I’ve gained, so you can make informed decisions and ensure a smooth, worry-free adventure.

Why Travel Insurance Matters:

My international road trip took me across borders, through diverse landscapes, and into exciting cultures. However, this thrilling journey came with its own set of uncertainties. That’s where travel insurance came to my rescue. It covers a wide array of potential mishaps, from flight disruptions to medical emergencies, and even loss or damage to my luggage.

I must recommend you for ICICI International Travel Insurance for they cover everything from bits to bytes. I might have them for my next trip, but for this International road trip from India to Singapore, I took TATA AIG , and they were pretty great too.

The Key Benefits:

One of the key advantages of travel insurance is the safety net it provides for medical expenses. Trust me, you don’t want to be caught off guard in a foreign country with a hefty medical bill. Additionally, travel insurance offers emergency services, including medical treatment, transportation, and evacuation. I’ve been in situations where these services were a lifesaver.

Understanding Your Policy:

But, here’s the catch: You need to thoroughly understand your policy. Not all travel insurance plans are the same. They have different coverage and limitations. To make the most of your policy, invest time in researching the types of plans and the companies offering them. It’s like finding the perfect travel companion; you want one that suits your budget and aligns with your needs.

Choosing Wisely:

To strike the right balance between financial security and cost, consider these factors:

• Cancellation Options: Look for plans that allow cancellations for any reason. Flexibility is your best friend when plans change.
• Pre-Existing Conditions: If you have any pre-existing medical conditions, ensure they are covered. It’s a relief knowing you’re protected.
• Natural Disasters and Activities: Check if the policy covers the types of natural disasters common in the regions you’ll be visiting. Also, if you’re planning adventurous activities, ensure they are included in your coverage.
• Read the Terms: The devil is in the details. Carefully read the policy terms to ensure it aligns with your needs, without unnecessary, costly extras.

My Verdict:

As someone who has wandered through the enchanting landscapes of India, crossed international borders, and navigated diverse terrains, I can’t stress enough the importance of travel insurance. It’s the safety net that lets you fully immerse yourself in the journey without worrying about what could go wrong. So, when you’re planning your own international road trip from India, take it from someone who’s been there – buying travel insurance is not just a recommendation; it’s a travel essential. Your peace of mind and wallet will thank you later.

I chose TATA travel insurance for my stretched international road trip from India. They were reliable. You are free to choose any other but my personal recommendation lies with this one.

Researching Your Route

Researching your planned route is the crucial first step for your international road trip from India. It’s the compass that guides your journey, ensuring you stay safe while exploring uncharted roads. Before I hit the road, I made sure to dive deep into understanding the route I’d be taking.

First things first, I delved into a treasure trove of information about the roads available in the region, the countries, and the cities I’d be passing through. Knowing the lay of the land is not just about navigation; it’s about immersing yourself in the culture and history that surrounds you. It’s like unlocking the secrets of a hidden world.

I too traveled to the U.S. and my research on road rules especially came in very handy. You can have a look too. 

• Extras: But that’s not all; I went the extra mile. I familiarized myself with foreign currency exchange rates, local laws, and essential contact information, including local police stations and nearby hospitals. Believe me, having this knowledge at your fingertips can be a lifesaver.
• Safety: Safety was a top priority for me. I researched the driving requirements in each country, ensuring I had all the necessary documentation. Every country has its own rules of the road, and you don’t want to be caught off guard. 
• Route Research: I also thought about potential dangers or risks along the way. Researching this might sound a bit daunting, but it’s better to be prepared than surprised. This insight allowed me to plan my route with contingencies in mind, giving me peace of mind on the open road.
• Locations: When you’re out there, it’s not just about the destination; it’s about the journey. I scoured the web for valuable information on campsites, restaurants, and hidden gems along the way. These insights turned out to be some of the most memorable parts of my trip. 
• Emergency Contacts: Traveling alone? Or with a group? Consider setting up emergency contact groups with family members back home. It’s your lifeline in case something goes amiss. Having someone back home who’s aware of your whereabouts can be a great comfort.

This list of emergency contacts has served me well and is a great guide to international road trip from India. I hope this will come in handy for you too. 

• Discounts: And last but not least, I hunted for deals and discounts. It’s incredible how a little research can save you time and money. Accommodation, food, and transport – there are often hidden gems you’d miss if you didn’t dig deep.

My verdict: I can’t emphasize enough how vital this research was in shaping my incredible journey. It wasn’t just about the destination; it was about the incredible tapestry of experiences woven along the way. So, don’t underestimate the power of preparation; it can transform your international road trip into the adventure of a lifetime.

Planning Your Accommodation

One of the most vital aspects of our international road trip from India was planning our accommodation. So, let me take you through the diverse options I encountered and help you make the best choice for your upcoming escapade.

• Hotels : During our journey, hotels became our home away from home. They not only offered comfort and convenience but also pampered us with amenities like refreshing pools, delightful restaurants, and even complimentary breakfasts. To secure the best rates and ensure availability, booking in advance was a smart move that I highly recommend based on personal experience.
• Vacation Rentals: If you’re traveling with family or a large group, vacation rentals are a fantastic choice. They provide the space and privacy you need, often featuring fully equipped kitchens for those who enjoy cooking their own meals. It’s a decision you won’t regret, as it adds a touch of homely comfort to your travels.
• Hostels: Looking for budget-friendly accommodation with a dash of social flair? Hostels are your go-to. I found them to be excellent for mingling with fellow travelers, and sharing rooms and stories. It’s an opportunity to create connections with people from all corners of the globe.
• Campsites: For those yearning for a closer connection to nature, camping is an exceptional choice. Many campsites we stumbled upon offered basic amenities like running water and outdoor grills, while some even surprised us with luxurious extras such as sparkling swimming pools and breathtaking nature trails right at our doorstep.

My verdict: Regardless of your choice, research is your most trustworthy companion. Dive deep into the details of your prospective accommodations so you’re well-prepared and well-informed. After all, a comfortable night’s sleep and the right atmosphere can make all the difference on an international road trip.

My verdict : It’s life-altering. Join me on this journey as I share tips and tales, turning your wanderlust into reality.

Following the Road Rules

As I set out on my incredible international road trip from India to Singapore, the road ahead held promises of unforgettable experiences and adventures. But before I dive into the exhilarating stories and breathtaking sights, there’s one thing I must emphasize – following the road rules.

No matter where you are on this planet, it’s crucial to respect and obey the rules of the road. Every country has its own set of laws and regulations that drivers must adhere to, not only to ensure their safety but also to prevent accidents that could mar your journey.

So, here is my firsthand advice: 

• Always buckle up: Yes, it’s a simple act, but it’s your first line of defense. Seatbelts save lives, and that’s a fact. Speed limits are not just numbers on signs; they are there to keep you and others safe. Stick to them religiously.
• Traffic signals:   Traffic Signals are your guiding stars. They tell you when to go when to stop, and when to slow down. Pay attention and follow them diligently. And when it’s time to overtake, do so with caution. Trust me; reckless driving is the last thing you want on your international road trip.
• Vehicle Condition: Before you embark on a journey of this magnitude, ensure your vehicle is in tip-top condition. A well-maintained vehicle is your trusted companion on the road, and breakdowns in unfamiliar places can be a real hassle.
• Research : Different countries have different traffic regulations, and it’s essential to be aware of them therefore, researching is the key. For example, in India, driving in the left lane means you should turn left at intersections, while the right lane is for turning right or proceeding straight.
• Planning: Before starting my adventure, I meticulously checked for toll roads and other restrictions that could impact my route and budget. International travel demands some financial preparedness, so ensure you have enough local currency or internationally accepted forms of payment like credit cards.
• Safety: Always be alert. Keep an eye on your surroundings, watch out for other vehicles, and be extra cautious at pedestrian crossings. Safety isn’t just your responsibility; it’s a shared one. Before setting off, make sure all passengers are well informed about their roles to ensure everyone’s well-being throughout the journey.

As I reminisce about my international road trip from India to Singapore, I can confidently say that following the road rules was the foundation of a safe and unforgettable adventure. So, gear up, be a responsible road traveler, and let’s hit the road, exploring the world one thrilling destination at a time.

Checking Vehicle’s Condition

Regularly monitoring your vehicle’s condition and health is the key to a hassle-free international road trip from India. Not only does it help you spot potential problems early, saving you from costly breakdowns or accidents, but it also ensures that your road trip remains a smooth ride from start to finish.

Now, I’m no mechanic, but I’ve learned a thing or two from my own experiences. It’s best to leave detailed inspections to the professionals, so I suggest having your vehicle checked at least once or twice a year or every 5,000-7,500 miles, whichever comes first.

Here are some essential maintenance checks I swear by:

• Fluids : Keep ’em topped off. It’s like staying hydrated for your vehicle. Ensure your engine oil, brake fluid, and coolant/antifreeze (especially if you’re heading to cold climates) are at the right levels.
• Tire Care: Your tires are your ride’s shoes. Check the tread depth and tire pressure. Don’t underestimate the importance of properly inflated tires; it can make a huge difference in fuel efficiency and safety.
• Battery Love : Your battery is the heart of your vehicle. Check its level and connections to avoid any surprises on the road.
• Lights and Signals: Ensure your headlights, taillights, and turn signals are all in perfect working order. You want to be visible to other drivers, especially at night.
• Mirrors and Horn: It’s all about communication on the road. Make sure your mirrors are giving you the right view, and your horn is ready to announce your presence when needed.
• Windshield Wipers: Don’t let a sudden downpour catch you off guard. Check that your windshield wipers and sprayer are in good working condition.
• Parking Brake: Your parking brake is not just for parking. It’s an essential safety feature. Ensure it’s in tip-top shape.

By being proactive with these checks, you’re not only ensuring your own safety but also saving yourself from a world of headaches. Believe me, the last thing you want on an international road trip is to be stuck on the side of the road with car trouble.

So, fellow adventurers, buckle up, get your vehicle road-ready, and let’s embark on this incredible international road trip from India. It’s going to be an epic journey, and we want every mile to be a memory, not a worry.

Emergency Preparations

As I ventured on my unforgettable international road trip from India to Singapore, I quickly realized that being prepared for emergencies is an absolute must. The open road, while filled with excitement, can also throw unexpected challenges your way. 

From flat tires to extreme weather conditions, you never know what you might encounter. That’s why having a well-equipped emergency kit in your vehicle can be the difference between a minor hiccup and a major crisis. 

Allow me to share some crucial insights and experiences to keep you safe and sound on your own road adventure.

• The Essentials: First Aid Kit: I can’t stress this enough; a comprehensive first aid kit is a lifesaver. It should include essentials like bandages, adhesive tape, scissors, tweezers, antiseptic wipes, and alcohol pads. Don’t forget over-the-counter medications like ibuprofen, antihistamines, and antacids for those unexpected minor ailments that might crop up.
• Survival Gear: It’s always a good idea to be prepared for the unexpected. Stock up on bottled water and nonperishable snacks – you never know when you might need sustenance while waiting for help or during an unexpected hike. Extra warm clothing is a must; including hats, gloves, and blankets, just in case the temperature takes an unexpected dip. And, of course, an LED flashlight with fresh batteries will be your trusty companion, whether it’s day or night.
• Must-Have Equipment: There are certain items you should always keep in your vehicle. Jumper cables, duct tape, and shop rags might seem simple, but they can be invaluable for temporary roadside repairs or quick fixes that get you back on the road without needing to make extra trips to town for supplies. Additionally, having tools like wrenches, pliers, and screwdrivers can be a lifesaver when dealing with minor car issues while on the road.

But what if things go south, and you need assistance beyond your kit? Having an emergency roadside assistance number handy is essential. Keep it easily accessible, like in your glove compartment, just in case you encounter an accident or breakdown far from home. These precautions might sound simple, but they are a lifeline when it comes to ensuring your safety while exploring the open road.

So, take these tips to heart, pack your emergency kit, and embark on your international road trip from India with confidence. Remember, the road may be unpredictable, but your preparedness can make all the difference. 

Taking Regular Breaks

An international road trip from India was a whirlwind adventure, and I learned that taking regular breaks is the secret sauce for a successful journey.

When you’re on the road for extended periods, remember to take a breather. After every 2 hours of driving, pull over, and stretch those legs. It not only eases physical strain but also lets you appreciate the diverse landscapes.

If you’re traveling with companions, share the driving duties. It keeps things engaging and relieves the primary driver. Stay hydrated by sipping 1-2 liters of water every couple of hours, and keep your energy up with nutritious snacks.

My Advice: These breaks are your lifelines, making long drives more enjoyable and less taxing. The key to conquering travel stressors like traffic jams or wrong turns is staying refreshed and alert.

So, on your international road trip from India, remember to embrace the breaks. They’ll turn your journey into an adventure of a lifetime!

Beware of Local Customs

During my international road trip from India, I uncovered a world of diverse cultures and local customs. As I guide you through this journey, I’ll share essential insights into the cultural nuances I encountered along the way.

• Be Aware of the Language Barrier

One of the first things that struck me was the diversity of languages across India. While English is prevalent in urban areas, stepping out of the cities may lead to Hindi being the primary language. Being aware of this beforehand can be a game-changer. It’s not just about convenience; it’s about forming connections with locals. Learning a few basic phrases or carrying a translation app can go a long way in breaking down language barriers.

• Respecting Attire Norms

When it comes to dressing appropriately, remember that local customs matter. In some regions of India, modest attire is a must, especially when entering religious sites and temples. Respect for local culture is not just a sign of courtesy but also an opportunity to immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of India’s heritage. I can personally vouch for the warmth and appreciation you’ll receive when you embrace these traditions.

• Transportation Preparedness

Ensuring a smooth road trip also involves thorough research. Acquiring international car insurance was a smart move on my part. This not only allowed me to rent a vehicle hassle-free but also provided peace of mind in case of unexpected situations.

• Stay Informed

Staying updated on road closures and travel restrictions is crucial. Natural disasters or health crises like COVID-19 can disrupt your plans. Having access to the latest information and being prepared for unexpected roadblocks will help you maintain a safe and efficient journey.

In conclusion, international road trips from India are a gateway to diverse cultures and experiences. By understanding and respecting local customs, being prepared, and staying informed, you can make the most of your adventure. 

My verdict: An international road trip from India is a transformative experience that enriches the soul, provided you embrace the beauty of local customs along the way.

4. International Road Trip from India:  Post Trip To DOs

After my thrilling international road trip from India to Singapore, it’s time to explore the ‘Post Trip To Dos.’ This is where we unravel all the fascinating details, from distances covered to mesmerizing pit stops and ever-changing weather conditions. Join me for the real magic that unfolds after the road trip ends!

Vehicle Check-Up

Monitoring your vehicle’s condition while you’re out on the road is essential for a safe and successful journey. Here’s what I learned and what you should keep in mind for your own epic road trip.

• Transmission, Tires, and Fluids: My international road trip kicked off with a thorough check of the transmission, tires, and all essential fluids – oil, brake, suspension, and fuel. Ensuring they were in top shape was my first priority.
• Inspecting for Wear and Tear: Regularly inspect your vehicle to look for any signs of damage due to wear or tear. Small issues can escalate quickly, and it’s best to address them before hitting the road.
• Immediate Repairs: In case something was damaged or needed repair during your trip, don’t take chances. Seek out a professional mechanic without delay. Trust me; it’s better to be safe than sorry.
• Signs of Overheating and Fatigue: Long journeys can take a toll on your vehicle. Keep an eye out for signs of overheating or fatigue. If a particular component is being used excessively, it may need tuning or repairs.
• Listen for Noise: Be attentive to unusual sounds emanating from the engine or other parts of the car. Unusual noises might indicate a problem that needs fixing before you continue your journey.
• Dashboard Indicators: Modern vehicles have an array of indicators on the dashboard, like warning lights. Pay close attention to them – they can be early signals of potential issues in different parts of the vehicle.

Ensuring your vehicle is in top condition not only guarantees a smoother drive but also enhances safety on the road. By practicing these vehicle check-up tips, you’ll be better equipped to tackle any unforeseen situations during your international road trip from India. 

Tracking Your Expenses

Tracking your expenses during an international road trip from India isn’t just a budgeting tip; it’s a lifeline to a stress-free and unforgettable adventure. 

From my own experience, I can’t emphasize enough how crucial it is to stay organized and financially savvy while exploring new horizons. So, let’s dive into how I managed my expenses and created amazing memories without breaking the bank.

• Budget Blueprint: As you prepare for your epic journey, start with a well-defined budget. Consider all potential expenses like lodging, transportation, entertainment, souvenirs, and, of course, delicious meals. Setting this financial roadmap will be your guiding star, ensuring that you make the most of every rupee you spend.
• Expense Tracking Diary: During the trip, stay vigilant by keeping tabs on all your expenses as they occur. If you’re dealing in cash, collect those precious receipts like they’re golden tickets (or snap pictures of them). Trust me; these tiny slips of paper will be your saving grace when questions or doubts arise towards the end of your adventure. You might wish to stick them into your travel diary. This way, there will be no loss of records and a bunch of memories to preserve.
• Using Your Card Perks: Are you one of those savvy travelers who maximize their benefits through “cashback” or credit card points? Don’t forget to redeem them right after each purchase! The rewards and discounts they offer, whether it’s on airport parking or attraction tickets, can be game-changers.
• Post Trip Financial Check Point: Now, the real magic happens when your journey concludes. It’s time for the post-trip financial reckoning. Sit down with all your collected data, and go through it meticulously. Double-check everything, especially those significant expenses like airfare and lodging. And here’s a tip from my own playbook – consider donating locally instead of loading up on souvenirs. Not only does this support the community, but it can also earn you some customer loyalty benefits back home.

My Verdict : Diligent expense tracking doesn’t just keep your budget in check, but it also paves the way for an enjoyable and stress-free trip. Imagine sharing your stories with fellow travelers after returning, not burdened by financial worries but brimming with unforgettable experiences. So, embark on your international road trip from India, track your spending, and create a travelogue of unforgettable memories!

Getting Your Vehicle Serviced (After Your International Road Trip from India)

Getting your vehicle serviced is not just a mundane task, but an essential part of the grand adventure of an international road trip from India. I’ve embarked on this incredible journey myself, and I can’t stress enough how vital it is to ensure your vehicle is in top-notch condition for the miles of exploration ahead. So, let’s dive into the nitty-gritty of vehicle maintenance and inspections together, as I share my personal experiences and verdict.

• Tire Check : Before you hit the open road, it’s crucial to inspect your tires thoroughly. Make sure they have the right air pressure and tread wear. Trust me; a flat tire in the middle of nowhere is not the kind of adventure you signed up for. It’s a lesson I learned the hard way.
• Brakes, Oil, and Fluids: Your brakes are your best friend on the road, and they deserve some attention. Look for signs of wear and tear; if they’re showing it, consider a replacement. I’ve experienced the heart-pounding panic of brake issues, and it’s a situation best avoided.

Checking your oil levels and adding more if needed is a simple but vital task. Maintaining proper fluid levels for windshield washer and transmission fluid is equally important. It’s not fun to run out of washer fluid when your windshield is splattered with bugs on a remote highway.

• Belts and Hoses: The belts and hoses under your hood may seem insignificant, but trust me, they play a vital role. Ensure they’re tight and not cracked or peeling away. I’ve had a belt snap in the middle of my journey, leaving me stranded until a replacement arrived.

Inspect all hoses for cracks and corrosion, as any issues can affect their performance or lifespan. I’ve been caught in a situation where a leak from a damaged hose turned into a major headache. Let my experience be your warning.

So, based on my personal experiences, my verdict is crystal clear: after any long drive, don’t hesitate to make an appointment with your trusted mechanic. Address any necessary repairs, such as replacing worn-out belts or fixing leaks from damaged hoses. Your vehicle deserves it, and you’ll thank yourself when you’re cruising smoothly on your next international road trip from India. Safe travels!

Sharing Your Experiences( about your international road trip from India)

“Most people return from an international road trip from India with experiences, stories, and photographs that will stay with them for a lifetime.” This truth became evident during my own international road trip from India to Singapore, where the memories I gathered were nothing short of priceless. Now, I’m on a mission to make sure those experiences don’t stay locked in my heart but are shared with fellow travelers. Here’s how I’m connecting and inspiring others through my journey:

• Penning It Down: The simple act of writing articles and blog posts has allowed me to relive my adventures while potentially reaching a broader audience. Who knows, my stories might just find their way into travel websites or magazines!
• Photographic Chronicles: My favorite photographs have become a visual diary. Crafting a photo book or a lively collage with notes about the places and moments has been a delightful journey down memory lane.
• Joining the Travelers’ Circle: Being part of discussion forums and online communities with fellow globe-trotters has been a joy. It’s like taking the journey all over again as I share my experiences with an audience who understands the thrill.
• The “Open House” Tradition: Hosting gatherings where I showcase my photos, journal entries, and keepsakes has turned into a tradition. It’s a fantastic way to immerse loved ones in my adventure.
• Presenting My Story: Preparing presentations about my adventure, complete with insights into the destinations, encounters, challenges, and unexpected moments, has been enlightening. Sharing these presentations locally or at travel club meetings is a fantastic way to spread the travel bug.
• The Social Media Connect: My favorite stories and snapshots find their way onto social media platforms, such as Facebook , Instagram , and X (formerly Twitter). These spaces are perfect for connecting with a global audience and sparking wanderlust.
• Becoming an Author: One of the most fulfilling experiences has been turning my journey into a published travelogue or a self-published book. It’s like leaving a tangible piece of my adventure behind for others to explore.
• Lights, Camera, Action: For those who prefer a more visual medium, creating videos or documentaries about the journey is an exciting venture. Sharing these on platforms like YouTube or Vimeo can be a source of inspiration for aspiring travelers.

International road trips are not just about personal exploration; they’re an opportunity to inspire and connect with the world. By sharing our experiences, we can ignite the wanderlust in others, helping them embark on their own international road trip from India. After all, your story might be the spark that lights up someone else’s adventure.

Making a Memory Book About Your International Road Trip from India

One thing I’ve learned from this exhilarating experience of having an International road trip from India is the importance of creating a memory book. It’s not just about capturing the moments; it’s about preserving the essence of the journey so you can relive it for years to come.

Why Create a Memory Book?

As you navigate through different countries and cultures, the memories tend to blur together. That’s where the memory book comes in. It’s your personal time machine, taking you back to those unforgettable moments.

In my memory book, I included everything – from photos of stunning landscapes and quirky road signs to ticket stubs from must-visit attractions and postcards from the charming little towns I stumbled upon. These tangible reminders breathe life into your travel tales, and as you flip through the pages, you’re instantly transported back to the heart of your adventures.

Adding a Personal Touch

I didn’t stop at photos and ticket stubs; I also jotted down brief descriptions of the places I visited. It’s incredible how those little notes can reignite the sensory experience of a place – the aroma of street food in Delhi, the gentle breeze by the beaches of Goa, and the bustling markets of Jaipur.

To make my memory book even more special, I collected mementos of cultural and historical significance along the way. Fabric swatches, pottery pieces, and trinkets that I stumbled upon during my travels in India found their place in the book. These items are like time capsules, holding the stories of the people I met and the places I explored.

Sharing the Journey with Loved Ones

But here’s the real beauty of it all – my international road trip wasn’t just about me. It was about the shared experiences with my family and friends who joined me on this incredible journey. So, I made it a point to request their feedback and contributions for the memory book.

Their perspectives and stories added a rich layer to my own experiences. It’s amazing how the same adventure can be seen through different eyes. The memory book became a comprehensive document that everyone cherished, a testament to the bond we shared during our road trip from India.

My Verdict : Creating a memory book is not just a suggestion; it’s a must-do for anyone embarking on an international road trip from India. It’s the key to preserving those cherished moments, sharing your adventures with loved ones, and reliving the journey whenever you want.

So, what are you waiting for? Start your memory book today and make your international road trip an everlasting story to be cherished by all who were part of it. Happy travels!

International Road Trip from India: Final Words

My final words on embarking on an International road trip from India: it’s a thrilling blend of adventure and responsibility. Careful planning is key. Pre-departure preparations, on-the-road safety, and post-trip considerations are essential for a memorable journey.

As I hit the open road from India to Singapore, I realized the importance of packing right, handling visas, and ensuring my vehicle’s health. On the road, adapting to different driving conditions and staying vigilant were constant companions. Challenges added depth to my adventure.

An international road trip from India is an adventure of a lifetime. The thrill, challenges, and the freedom on the open road are unlike anything else. So, fellow explorers, safe travels, and enjoy your international road trip from India!

This 3,000-mile bus trip could be the ultimate way to see south-east Asia

Passengers can sign up now for the 20-day journey through India, Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore

Global travel may still be largely on ice, but we’ve got our hearts set on some big trips once borders and transportation finally open up again. And if you’re really looking to stack up your bucket list, here’s an adventure for you: a three-week road trip from India to Singapore , winding 2,800 miles through Myanmar, Thailand and Malaysia .

Twenty passengers will ride a specially-kitted-out bus on the 20-day adventure, which includes full-day stopovers in Yangon, Bangkok  and Kuala Lumpur .

The ‘Bus to Singapore’ quest (the first of its kind, say the organisers) starts from Imphal, in the far east of India, on November 14 2021. Its route follows Asian Highway 1 via some of the most famous sites in south-east Asia, including the temples of Bagan, the beaches of Krabi and Malaysia’s Batu Caves.

The bus will reach Singapore on December 3, and a fresh batch of explorers will be able to climb aboard and trace the same journey in reverse, back to India.

This truly epic journey is the brainchild of Overland Adventures, an Indian travel company. The organisers will be hoping that border closures significantly ease by November to make the trip possible. (Their even more ambitious  70-day bus trip from India to London  has already been postponed due to the ongoing travel freeze.)

The Bus to Singapore won’t be the most convenient journey: the trip brochure specifically warns that ‘patience will be a massive virtue’ when crossing land borders.

Nor will it be the cheapest, though your 625,000-rupee fare (£6,241, $8,569, A$11,168) does include 20 days’ worth of hotel stays, meals, guided tours, visa fees, snacks, wifi and even a book to read on the road.

But if you’re looking for a truly memorable travel experience this year, we can definitely think of worse ways to smash through that travel budget you’ve been saving up. Up for it?  Register your interest now .

Quick Information

Ideal duration, starting from, http://visitsingapore.com/en_in/, travel to singapore.

The best answer in regard to how to go Singapore from India is by air. Flights are the easiest and most convenient means of transport for reaching the Lion City from India. Traveling from India to Singapore by air has become quite popular a theme in the last few decades. Singapore has risen as the new member in the block of South-East Asian tourism, and it gets a majority of its travelers from the major cities of India.

Housing around eight airports, among which Changi Airport is the major one, people can hop on an exciting journey to Singapore through airlines, like: Lufthansa, Qatar Airways, Bangkok Airways, and more. Though, one can also choose to visit this vibrant travel destination from India via roadways provided they are ready to indulge in an exhaustive journey. India to Singapore distance is much higher by land than by air. While the roadways distance is 6054 km from the central region of India to Singapore, the distance is only 3440 km when it comes to airways.

Let’s have a look at the below information to find out how to reach Singapore from India.

Chennai to Singapore

Mumbai to singapore, bangalore to singapore, hyderabad to singapore.

Most Indian airports have direct nonstop flights to Changi Airport in Singapore. The frequency of flights is owed to the rising tourism between the two countries. India to Singapore distance by air is around 3440 km, and the nonstop flights usually cover it in 5 hours and 35 minutes. Both Air India and Singapore Airlines have direct flights, along with many other carriers. The best part about reaching Singapore is that most of the Indonesia-bound flights usually take a layover in Singapore, which increases the number of flights one can take to Singapore.

Going from India to Singapore by road is not impossible but a just time-consuming long process. From India, one has to take the India-Myanmar Friendship road. Then drive through Thailand via Bangkok to Malaysia. From Malaysia, one can either rent a car or ride a bus to Singapore. Car renting has the advantage of not going through customs or immigration. There are specially licensed taxis from Larkin Bus Terminal in Johor Bahru, the borderline area between Singapore and Malay land. There are state bus services running to and fro the causeway link that joins downtown Johor Bahru with Singapore. But traveling by bus has the disadvantage of waiting in queue for passport checking and customs just like airports.

Many people wish to have the experience of traveling from country to country by car or by bus, enjoying the days of the journey. It is indeed a different sort of experience if one is willing to make an effort. But for the usual tourists who simply want to reach Singapore, roadway or railway is not at all a very wise choice to go with. As for airway, Chennai to Singapore flights is the easiest and cheapest to get because of the proximity of the two places.
