Updated 2026-10-29 · For travellers from India — flying from Delhi (DEL), Mumbai (BOM), Bengaluru (BLR), Chennai (MAA), Hyderabad (HYD), Kolkata (CCU), Kochi (COK) and other international airports
The Seychelles, 115 granite and coral islands scattered across the Indian Ocean, is far closer to India than most people realise. From Mumbai, IndiGo now flies direct to Mahé in under five hours. From anywhere else in India, you are looking at a single connection and you are on a white-sand beach. The islands work brilliantly for every kind of Indian traveller: honeymooners, families using the school-holiday window, serious divers, and anyone who simply needs to switch off completely. Travelzeego offers four Seychelles packages from India, ranging from a five-night family island adventure to a seven-night private-island luxury retreat. Each package covers accommodation, guided tours, island transfers and visa assistance, so the only thing left to plan is what to order at sunset. Read on for flights, visa rules, the best months to travel from India, and realistic costs in INR.
As of 2026, IndiGo operates the only scheduled non-stop service between India and Seychelles, Mumbai (BOM) to Mahé/Seychelles International (SEZ) in approximately 4.5 hours, running roughly five times a week. That makes Mumbai the natural jumping-off point for the rest of India. Travellers from Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Kochi and Ahmedabad will connect through a hub. Common one-stop routings include Dubai (Emirates), Abu Dhabi (Etihad), Doha (Qatar Airways), Addis Ababa (Ethiopian Airlines) and Colombo (SriLankan Airlines). Total journey times from these cities run between 10 and 16 hours depending on the layover. If cutting travel time is a priority, consider positioning yourself through Mumbai first and picking up the direct IndiGo service.
Seychelles runs on two main seasons. April–May and October–November are the calmest months, trade winds ease off, seas go flat, and snorkelling and diving conditions are as good as they get anywhere on the planet. December through March brings the northwest monsoon: warmer and occasionally wetter, but the islands stay gorgeous and resorts are in full swing. For Indian travellers, peak booking windows line up neatly with the school calendar. The April–June summer break is the single busiest period from India. The Diwali long weekend in October–November, Christmas and New Year are also popular. Holi long weekends in March see a reliable surge in honeymoon bookings. Book at least 8–12 weeks ahead for any peak window, seats and resort availability tighten fast.
Indian passport holders do not need a pre-booked visa stamp. A Visitor's Permit is issued at the port of entry. That said, entry rules have been evolving: some travel authorities currently require Indian citizens to obtain an online Travel Authorisation (TA or ETA) before departure. Rules saw updates in 2025–2026, so check the official Seychelles immigration website and the Indian embassy advisory for the very latest position before you book anything. Regardless of the exact process at travel time, you will need a valid Indian passport (at least six months beyond your return date), a confirmed return or onward ticket, proof of accommodation. Proof of sufficient funds. All Travelzeego Seychelles packages include visa assistance as part of the service.
Total cost depends on your departure city, travel season, accommodation tier and whether you book a package or go DIY. As a rough guide, a mid-range week-long trip, flights plus five-star hotel plus guided tours, runs approx. ₹3,50,000–₹5,00,000 per person, and that figure climbs during peak season or from cities without a direct service. Travelzeego's Seychelles packages start from approx. ₹2,46,000 per person (double sharing) for five nights and go up to approx. ₹6,99,600 per person for a seven-night private-island luxury retreat. All USD prices convert at the prevailing exchange rate at time of booking. Do factor in TCS on overseas tour packages, see the Money section below for the full breakdown.

The local currency is the Seychellois Rupee (SCR). Most hotels and restaurants also accept USD and EUR. Carry some SCR for local markets and smaller shops, you can exchange currency at the airport or in Victoria. Forex cards loaded in USD or EUR are the most practical way to pay in Seychelles and sidestep poor spot exchange rates. Your Indian debit or credit card works at most ATMs and hotel checkouts; international credit card spends abroad are currently excluded from LRS tracking. UPI and RuPay are not widely accepted, do not rely on them. On TCS: when you book an overseas tour package through an Indian operator, Tax Collected at Source applies under Section 206C(1G) of the Income Tax Act. The current rate is 5% on package value up to ₹10 lakh and 20% on any amount above ₹10 lakh, per person per financial year. TCS is not a final tax, it is an advance tax credit you claim back when filing your ITR. We provide a TCS certificate at the time of booking.
