Frequently Asked Questions
Do Indian passport holders need a visa for Australia and New Zealand?
Yes. Apply for an eVisitor (Australia) or Visitor Visa (New Zealand) online. Both processes require proof of funds, travel itinerary, and health declarations.
What is the minimum budget for a 10‑day Australia trip from India?
Mid‑range travel (flights, hotels, car hire, activities) starts at ₹2–2.5 lakh per person. Costs can be optimised by booking early and choosing off‑peak seasons.
When is the best time to visit New Zealand for hiking and adventure sports?
Summer (December–February) offers warm weather and full access to hiking trails, bungee jumping, and water sports. Shoulder seasons (March–April, October–November) are less crowded.
Can I include the Pacific Islands (Fiji, Samoa) in the same itinerary as Australia/New Zealand?
Yes, many travellers combine Australia/New Zealand with Fiji or Vanuatu by adding short flights. Check multi-destination fares and regional airlines like Fiji Airways.
