Vol. 20 ·The Beyond India Edition

When your journey goes international

India is our deep specialty. When our customers head abroad, we don’t hand them to a foreign OTA — same WhatsApp number, same person, same GST invoice. These are the 8 places Indians travel to most, and the hotels we’d actually book there.

Chapter One

Where Indians actually go

Ranked by how many Indian travellers booked each in 2025. Each page has the areas, the hotels, the visa rule and the honest notes.

Thailand No. 1

🇹🇭 Thailand

4–4.5 hrs from India · Visa-free, 30 days

India’s #1 outbound destination in 2025. Bangkok for shopping and stopovers, Phuket and Krabi for beaches, Pattaya for groups and bachelor trips.

63 hotels, 4 areas →
Dubai & Abu Dhabi No. 2

🇦🇪 Dubai & Abu Dhabi

3–3.5 hrs from India · Apply in advance

The second most-booked destination for Indians. Family resorts on the Palm, business hotels in Downtown, and Abu Dhabi for a quieter second stop.

53 hotels, 5 areas →
Vietnam No. 3

🇻🇳 Vietnam

4.5–5.5 hrs from India · e-Visa, apply online

Third most-booked in 2025 and climbing. Da Nang for the beach-and-culture combination, Hanoi for Ha Long Bay, Phu Quoc for an island honeymoon at Thai prices minus 30%.

Sri Lanka No. 4

🇱🇰 Sri Lanka

Singapore No. 5

🇸🇬 Singapore

5–5.5 hrs from India · Required, in advance

The family-and-first-trip-abroad destination. Universal Studios, the Zoo, Gardens by the Bay — and a hotel choice that decides how much walking the kids do.

45 hotels, 4 areas →
Bali No. 6

🇮🇩 Bali

6–7 hrs non-stop from India · Visa on arrival

The honeymoon default and a growing family destination now that there are direct flights. Choosing the right part of the island matters more than the hotel brand.

Maldives No. 7

🇲🇻 Maldives

1.5–3.5 hrs from India · Free, on arrival

The honeymoon and anniversary destination — 90 minutes from Kochi, three from Mumbai. The resort is the whole trip, so we spend the most time getting this choice right.

🇲🇾 Malaysia

5–5.5 hrs from India · Visa-free, 30 days

Visa-free, vegetarian-friendly, and often bundled with Singapore. KL for the city, Langkawi for the beach, Genting for the kids, Penang for the food.
