The easiest first international trip for a Bangalore family
Singapore is the trip we recommend most for families taking their first big international holiday from Bangalore. It is a clean, safe, English-friendly city where everything works — the MRT trains, the taxis, the food courts — and you can do a glittering skyline, a world-class zoo and a full theme-park day all within a short drive. With a direct flight of roughly four and a half hours from BLR, you can have breakfast at home and dinner under the Supertrees the same day.
From the light-and-laser show at Marina Bay Sands to the cloud forests of Gardens by the Bay, the rides at Universal Studios on Sentosa, and the famous hawker centres serving chilli crab and Hainanese chicken rice, Singapore packs a lot into a small island. It is compact, walkable, kid-friendly, and full of little touches — clean toilets, vegetarian options, Tamil widely spoken — that make it comfortable for Indian travellers. Do remember Singapore is not visa-free for Indian passport holders, so we sort your e-visa as part of the planning.

Singapore, answered
Do Indian citizens need a visa for Singapore?
Yes — an e-Visa, lodged through an authorised visa agent (the High Commission does not accept individual walk-in applications). We arrange the whole process as part of the package.
How much is the Singapore visa and how long does it take?
The government fee is SGD 30 (about ₹2,100), plus a small agent charge of around ₹1,000. Processing usually takes 3–5 working days, so we apply a week or two before you fly.
How long is the Singapore visa valid?
The e-Visa is typically issued with up to 2-year validity and multiple entry. The length of each stay — usually up to 30 days — is decided by the officer at the Singapore checkpoint on arrival.
How long is the flight from Bangalore to Singapore?
A direct flight of around 4 hours 30 minutes from Bengaluru to Changi, operated by IndiGo, Air India, Singapore Airlines, Scoot and Air India Express.
Is Singapore good for a family trip with children?
One of the best — Universal Studios, the zoo, the S.E.A. Aquarium and Sentosa beaches are all kid-friendly, the city is very safe, and vegetarian and Indian food is easy to find.
