India from Australia
Planning a trip to India as a Australian traveller
Flights, visa route, the months that suit Australian holiday patterns, and budgets quoted in AUD alongside rupees.
Flights
Non-stops from Sydney, Melbourne and Perth to Delhi and Bengaluru, around 11–13 hours.
Visa
Australian passport holders are generally e-Visa eligible; verify on the official portal before booking.
Best months
October to March; Ladakh and Spiti from June to September.
What Australian travellers should know
- Time difference is small (4.5–5.5 hours) — one of the easiest long-haul trips from Australia.
- Perth departures make South India and Kerala unusually convenient.
- Mid-range ground costs typically A$110–200 per person per day.
- Australian winter (June–August) lines up with Himalayan season rather than the plains.
Entry rules and safety guidance change. Check the official Indian e-Visa portal and Australian Government — Smartraveller India before booking.
