India is one of those destinations that is genuinely difficult to prepare for — not because it is difficult to travel in, but because the scale, colour, noise, food, history, and sheer variety of experiences it offers is unlike anything most travellers have encountered before.
The country covers an area larger than Western Europe and contains within it desert landscapes, tropical beaches, Himalayan mountain ranges, ancient temple complexes, bustling megacities, and quiet villages where life has changed very little over centuries.
Whether you are drawn by the iconic landmarks of the Golden Triangle, the backwaters of Kerala , the beaches of Goa, the spiritual energy of Varanasi, or the royal palaces of Rajasthan, India delivers experiences that stay with you long after you return home. We compare international flight fares from Australia to India so you get the best available price without spending hours searching for it yourself.
Book NowIndia is the world's most populous country and one of its oldest continuous civilisations. It is also one of the most diverse travel destinations on earth - geographically, culturally, linguistically, and gastronomically. No two regions of India feel the same, and no single trip can cover everything it has to offer.
India is home to an extraordinary concentration of UNESCO World Heritage Sites - 42 at last count - ranging from the Taj Mahal in Agra and the cave temples of Ajanta and Ellora to the historic city of Jaipur and the churches and convents of Goa
The country's architectural heritage spans thousands of years and dozens of distinct cultural traditions, from Mughal palaces and Rajput fortresses to Dravidian temple complexes in the south and Buddhist monasteries in the Himalayan foothills.
Traveling through India's historic sites alone could occupy weeks of serious exploration.

Indian food is one of the world's great culinary traditions - and what most Australians think of as Indian food barely scratches the surface of what is actually available across the country.
North Indian cuisine differs dramatically from South Indian, and both differ from the coastal seafood of Kerala, the street food culture of Mumbai and Kolkata, the vegetarian traditions of Gujarat and Rajasthan, and the Mughal-influenced cuisine of Lucknow and Hyderabad. Eating your way through India's regional food cultures is one of the most genuinely rewarding travel experiences available anywhere in the world.
Whether you are a wildlife enthusiast, an outdoor traveller, a beach lover, or someone who simply wants to sit in a beautiful landscape and take it all in, India has the geography to accommodate it.

Answers to the questions we hear most about booking international flights with us.
Prices vary by season, departure city, airline, and routing. Booking two to four months ahead generally gets the best fare. Connecting through Middle Eastern or Southeast Asian hubs can lower the cost, and flying into Delhi or Mumbai tends to be cheaper than smaller cities like Goa or Jaipur.
Air India, Qantas, Emirates, Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Malaysia Airlines, and Etihad all serve this route. Air India runs a direct non-stop Melbourne to Delhi flight, one of the few true direct options. Most other airlines connect through Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha, Singapore, or Kuala Lumpur.
Delhi suits the Golden Triangle and northern India. Mumbai works well for Goa and the west coast. Chennai or Bangalore are natural entry points for South India, and Goa has its own airport if that's your main destination. Our team can help you pick the right entry city for your itinerary.
Perth to Delhi direct takes around 11 to 12 hours, and Melbourne to Delhi direct is about 12 hours on Air India. Sydney to Delhi via the Middle East typically takes 16 to 20 hours total, and Sydney or Melbourne to Mumbai via Dubai or Singapore takes around 14 to 18 hours.
Yes. Most travellers apply for the Indian e-Visa online before departure, usually approved within 72 hours, though applying four to seven days ahead is recommended. It covers tourism, business, and medical visits for up to 30 days. Longer or other-purpose stays need a formal visa through the High Commission.
October through March suits northern India best, with cooler, drier weather. Goa and the west coast are best from November to February. South India is pleasant October to March, while the Himalayan regions are best visited June through September when mountain passes are open.
The Golden Triangle links Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur. Delhi has the Red Fort and Old Delhi's markets, Agra is home to the Taj Mahal, and Jaipur offers the Amber Fort and Hawa Mahal. It can be covered in five to seven days and is a strong starting point for first-time visitors.
Millions of international tourists visit India safely each year, including many Australians. Popular destinations like Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Mumbai, Goa, and Kerala are well travelled. Checking Smartraveller before you go and registering your trip is a sensible step.
No. The fare shown on EaseTravel includes all taxes, carrier charges, and applicable fees. There are no extra costs added at the end of the booking - what you see during your search is what you pay.
Most full-service airlines, including Air India, Emirates, Singapore Airlines, and Qantas, include at least one checked bag on economy fares. Emirates typically allows 23 to 30 kilograms. Budget carriers may charge separately, and we show full details before you confirm.
This depends on the airline and fare type. Flexible and business fares usually allow changes with little or no fee, while discounted economy fares may be non-refundable. We show the full fare conditions before you confirm.
Your e-ticket and confirmation are emailed within minutes of payment. If it doesn't arrive, check your spam folder first, then contact our support team and we'll resend it.

Yes. For groups of six or more, contact our team directly. We'll search for the best group fares, help with seating where possible, and support you from enquiry through to departure.
Wildlife reserves like Ranthambore and Corbett offer genuine tiger safaris, Goa's beaches are calm and family-friendly, and Kerala's houseboat trips are peaceful for all ages. A realistic itinerary that doesn't try to cover too much ground works best with kids.
The Golden Triangle covers the most iconic sites. Adding a few days in Goa afterward offers a change of pace, and Varanasi gives a glimpse into India's spiritual culture. Kerala's backwaters make a calm final stop before flying home.
Rajasthan's palace hotels, especially in Udaipur, offer a romantic setting unlike anywhere in Southeast Asia. Kerala's backwater resorts are quieter, and Goa combines beaches with good food. A Rajasthan to Goa itinerary is a popular combination.
Mumbai is India's financial centre, Bangalore is its technology hub, Delhi handles most government business, and Hyderabad is growing in tech and pharma. Air India's direct Melbourne to Delhi service is useful for business travellers heading to the capital.
See a travel doctor four to six weeks before departure. Hepatitis A and B, typhoid, and tetanus are commonly recommended, with malaria prevention depending on your itinerary. Stick to bottled water and make sure your travel insurance covers medical evacuation.
