Indian passport holders need a Singapore visa before travelling and the cost is fairly predictable.
Visa fee: around ₹1,900 for the application, plus agent charges, taking the total to roughly ₹2,900 per person
Processing time: usually 3 to 5 working days
Round trip flights: typically range from ₹22,000 to ₹30,000 per person if booked a few weeks in advance
Cheapest months to fly: July and September tend to offer lower fares compared to June and December
Together, visa and flights usually add up to around ₹25,000 to ₹33,000 per person, which forms the bulk of the total budget.
This is usually the first stop for families, and for good reason. The outdoor gardens, including the Supertree Grove and the nightly light show, are free to enter. The Cloud Forest and Flower Dome combo ticket costs around SGD 46 to 48 per adult, which works out to roughly ₹3,400 to ₹3,600. Kids tend to enjoy the Children's Garden the most, which has water play areas designed specifically for younger visitors and does not cost anything extra.
Located on Sentosa Island, this is often the highlight of the trip for older kids. The park has rides based on familiar franchises along with gentler attractions for younger children. A one day adult ticket costs around SGD 83 on off-peak days and up to SGD 88 on weekends, which comes to roughly ₹6,200 to ₹6,600 per person if booked online in advance. It is worth setting aside a full day here.
Formerly known as Jurong Bird Park, this newer facility houses birds from around the world in large walk through aviaries. Standard adult tickets for tourists cost around SGD 49 to 58, working out to about ₹3,650 to ₹4,300. It is a slower paced activity, which makes it a good option for a day when younger kids need a break from long walks.
For families who want something educational without it feeling like a lesson, the Science Centre offers hands-on exhibits covering everything from space to the human body. Standard adult admission costs around SGD 12 to 13, roughly ₹900 to ₹1,000, making it by far the best value stop on this list. The Omni-Theatre and KidsSTOP cost extra if you want to add them on.
The Singapore Zoo, River Wonders and the Singapore Oceanarium, previously known as S.E.A. Aquarium, are all worth visiting if you have room in your budget. A combined Zoo and River Wonders ticket costs around SGD 70 per adult, close to ₹5,900, while the Oceanarium alone runs about SGD 44 to 50, roughly ₹3,300 to ₹3,700. Any of these can replace Bird Paradise or the Science Centre in the itinerary below, though they will push the total higher.
Here is roughly how a 5 to 6 day trip covering Gardens by the Bay, Universal Studios Singapore, Bird Paradise and the Science Centre adds up per person, based on current ticket prices.
Visa: ₹2,900
Round trip flight: ₹25,000
Budget accommodation (5 nights): ₹10,000
Meals at hawker centres: ₹2,500
Local transport (MRT and buses): ₹1,500
Entry tickets to the four attractions above: approximately ₹14,000 to ₹15,500
That brings the total to somewhere between ₹56,000 and ₹59,000 per person, which stays under the ₹60,000 mark but leaves little room to spare. Booking flights early, sticking to off-peak attraction pricing, and buying tickets online in advance rather than at the gate will help keep the Singapore visit under the 60000 mark and well within your budget.
