How do I Plan a Trip to Australia from India? Australia is a beautiful landscape to explore! Perth-Sydney-Melbourne, the country homes cities which are unmatchable in their beauty and luxuries. If you are going to the ‘Yellow Continent’ first time, then these pre-expense examination may help you survive the trip!
• Air travel and visa cost Your air travel is going to eat a major part of your expense. To get a fair pricing for air travel, I suggest you to get your bookings confirmed before 9-10 months of departure date. Also, you need to incur visa cost of INR 8300. This visa will be valid for 1 year so if you derive per day cost, it is not too much to pay provided you have planned to visit the county more than once in the year!
• Accommodation Accommodation can be easily booked online. Make sure that your place of accommodation should be nearby all the spots you are planning to visit. If not, at least it should be close by any mode of public transport (Eg, Train) you are going to travel through. Seeking only those accommodations which are beautifully done on inside is not a great idea, as a large part of your day you are going to spent away from that room/lodging, anyway!
• Food Australia has a great taste when it comes to food. A must try is Seafood of Australia. But if you are only an Indian food lover and not looking out to try other Australian cuisines, than there are many Indian restaurants serving Indian dishes. Also, you can easily trace a Subway or a McDonalds anywhere down the streets. • Travel and sight-seeing Australia has many beautiful museums, archaeological marvels and sunlit beaches to aww at. Again, this will eat a good quantity of your money so make your travel itinerary planned in advance. You also need to spend on Public Transport to travel from one place to another. The public transport in Australia is well organised and is generally cheap to travel through.
• Shopping This is the most exciting part! Isn’t it? Shopping too involves a lot of pre-planning. Search online those golden commodities you ‘must’ purchase from Australia! Never go for things that you can easily trace in any lustrous Indian Shopping Mall. • Contingencies Going to a far off continent requires you to be prepared for any contingency expense that may crop up anytime during your stay. For example, getting sick and visiting doctor/hospital or missing out on last bus of the day and renting out a room in emergency, etc. Always carry extra cash (1AUD=50 INR approx.) with you to meet such unforeseen events/ situations. If you are looking for a tourist visa to Australia, then I suggest you to apply through a consultant rather than getting into the chaos yourself. One fine example of a consultancy granting out tourist visas since past one decade is Aptech Global. The firm will take care of all the documentation processes and other dealings required to get through to get a tourist visa for the Kangaroo Country! Best of luck!
