Singapore Tour Package from India — Gardens, Culture & Food Guide
Singapore is the city-state that does everything right — impossibly clean, impeccably organised, culturally vibrant, gastronomically extraordinary, and genuinely beautiful. For Indian travellers, it holds a special appeal: a large Tamil and Punjabi diaspora has shaped an Indian Quarter (Little India) that feels warmly familiar, Singaporean cuisine is influenced by Indian, Chinese, Malay, and Peranakan traditions, and the city's efficiency makes it one of the easiest places in the world to navigate as a first-time international traveller.
The best news: Indians can enter Singapore without a visa (as of May 2023, Singapore operates a Visa-Free arrangement for Indian passport holders for up to 30 days).
This guide by HMX Global Travels is your complete 2026 planning resource for a Singapore trip from India.
Singapore Visa for Indian Passport Holders
Indians do not need a visa for Singapore — the Singapore-India Visa-Free Travel arrangement (announced May 2023) is currently in operation:
- Duration: Up to 30 days per visit
- Conditions: Indian passport must be valid for 6+ months; you must have a return ticket and proof of accommodation; demonstrate sufficient funds
- Port of Entry: Changi Airport, Singapore

Top Things to Do in Singapore
Gardens by the Bay — Singapore's Masterpiece
Gardens by the Bay is the most spectacular man-made natural attraction in Southeast Asia — 100 hectares of reclaimed waterfront park with two iconic glass conservatories and the famous Supertree Grove.
- Flower Dome: The world's largest glass greenhouse; seasonal floral displays from around the world. Entry: SGD 28 (≈₹1,700)
- Cloud Forest: A 35m indoor waterfall surrounded by a mountain covered in orchids, ferns, and mosses. Entry: SGD 28 combined with Flower Dome (combo ticket recommended)
- Supertree Grove & OCBC Skyway: 18 vertical tree structures covered in living plants; the aerial walkway (37m high) offers panoramic views over the gardens and Marina Bay skyline. Entry: SGD 14 (≈₹850). Best at 7:45 PM for the Garden Rhapsody light show (free from ground level).
Marina Bay Sands — The Iconic Infinity Pool
The Marina Bay Sands hotel (three towers connected by a rooftop "ship") is Singapore's most iconic structure. The rooftop SkyPark Observation Deck is open to non-guests:
- Sands SkyPark: 57th floor; panoramic 360° views over Singapore's skyline, Gardens by the Bay, and Sentosa. Entry: SGD 28 (≈₹1,700). Best visited at sunset (6–7 PM) or after dark.
- Marina Bay Sands Casino: Open 24 hours; entry fee for non-hotel guests: SGD 150 (≈₹9,000). Skip unless you plan to gamble.
- The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands: Luxury retail with a canal boat ride inside the mall. Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Gucci. Free to browse.
Sentosa Island — Theme Parks & Beaches
Sentosa is Singapore's resort island — accessible by cable car, monorail, or a pedestrian causeway from VivoCity mall.
- Universal Studios Singapore: A full-day theme park with 24 rides and attractions across 7 zones (including the Transformers, Minions, and Battlestar Galactica roller coasters). Entry: SGD 83 (≈₹5,000). Book online for discounts.
- S.E.A. Aquarium: One of the world's largest aquariums with 800+ species. Entry: SGD 35 (≈₹2,100).

- Wings of Time: A nightly outdoor water and light show on Siloso Beach. Entry: SGD 23 (≈₹1,400). Excellent family show.
Little India — The Warmest Corner of Singapore
Little India (Serangoon Road) is Singapore's most sensory neighbourhood — garland sellers, Tamil movie posters, banana-leaf restaurants, spice shops, and the magnificent Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple. Deeply familiar for Indian visitors.
- Tekka Centre: A massive hawker centre and wet market at the heart of Little India; the best Indian food in Singapore at fraction of hotel prices (SGD 4–8 per dish).
- Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple: A stunning South Indian temple in the heart of Little India; free entry. Remove shoes, be respectful.
- Mustafa Centre: Singapore's legendary 24-hour department store — electronics, gold, textiles, groceries, and Indian products. Popular for last-minute shopping and reasonable prices.
Chinatown & Hawker Centres
Singapore's Chinatown is best explored for its hawker food culture:
- Maxwell Food Centre: Home to Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice (one of Singapore's most famous hawker stalls). Queue is 20–30 minutes but worth it.
- Chinatown Heritage Centre: A beautifully curated museum of Singapore's Chinese immigrant history. Entry: SGD 15.
- Sri Mariamman Temple: Singapore's oldest Hindu temple (1827) in the middle of Chinatown — a beautiful reminder of Singapore's multicultural history.
Getting Around Singapore: The MRT
Singapore's Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) is one of the world's best metro systems — clean, air-conditioned, punctual, and inexpensive.
- EZ-Link Card: Buy at any MRT station ($12 including $7 credit); top up as needed. Single-journey from Changi Airport to Orchard Road: SGD 2.50 (≈₹152). Most tourists never need a taxi.
- MRT coverage: Gardens by the Bay (Bayfront station), Little India (Little India station), Chinatown (Chinatown station), Sentosa (Harbourfront station), Universal Studios (Harbourfront → Sentosa monorail).
Best Time to Visit Singapore
Singapore has a tropical climate with no distinct seasons — temperature is 25–32°C year-round. Heavy rain occurs in November–January (northeast monsoon). February–October is generally drier and more pleasant.
Best months: February to April and July to September for fewest rain disruptions.

Get EZ-Link card at Changi arrival
The first thing to do at Changi Airport is buy an EZ-Link card (SGD 12, includes SGD 7 credit) at the TransitLink counter in arrivals. Use it for all MRT and bus travel — much cheaper and faster than buying individual tickets or taking taxis.
Gardens by the Bay: Cloud Forest in the morning
Visit Cloud Forest at opening time (9 AM) for the fewest crowds and the most magical light inside the dome. The indoor waterfall photography is best before 11 AM. Skip the afternoon — it gets crowded and humid outside.
Garden Rhapsody light show is free
The Supertree Grove Garden Rhapsody light and music show (7:45 PM and 8:45 PM daily) is completely free to watch from the ground in the gardens. You do not need to pay for the OCBC Skyway to see it. Find a spot near the Supertree at 7:30 PM.
Universal Studios: skip the queue passes
Universal Studios Singapore can have 1–2 hour queues for the best rides (Transformers, Battlestar Galactica) in peak season. The Universal Express Pass (SGD 30–50 extra) halves your waiting time and lets you do all major rides in one day. Worth it for groups with children.

Things to Carry
Avoid These Mistakes
- Not filling the Singapore Arrival Card (SGAC) before travel — it is mandatory and immigration officers check it
- Taking taxis everywhere — Singapore MRT covers all major attractions and costs 10x less than cabs
- Eating only in restaurants — hawker centres (Tekka, Maxwell, Lau Pa Sat) offer world-class food at ₹250–₹500 per meal
- Visiting Universal Studios without pre-booking tickets — walk-in prices are higher and queues are longer
- Skipping Little India — it is the warmest, most culturally familiar neighbourhood in Singapore for Indian visitors
