India to Singapore

Singapore may be small in size, but this country has enough to keep you amazed for months! One of the top tourist destinations in Asia, Singapore is bursting with shopping arenas, theme parks, futuristic gardens, ritzy resorts, eclectic restaurants and heritage sites. When flying from India to Singapore , prepare to land in a wonderland of sorts.

Indians’ Love for Singapore

About 7.5 percent of Singapore’s population is of Indian ethnicity. Also, Tamil (the language commonly spoken in the south Indian state of Tamil Nadu) is one of the 4 official languages of this island country. Heritage aside, Indians have a preference for Singapore when it comes to higher education and jobs. The strong economy and high-quality of life attracts a lot of Indian expats looking to grow in their career.

Even in terms of tourism, Singapore figures on most Indians’ top list of places to travel abroad, especially theirs who have never stepped outside of India. This is mainly because of relative affordability (as compared to other developed countries in the west), short flight duration and reasonable airfare. The abundance of skyscrapers, malls, touristy places, well-connected public transport system, nature parks and activities sure add to the charm of visiting Singapore!

Where is Singapore?

The Republic of Singapore is a city-state that is part of Southeast Asia. This island nation is located off the Malay Peninsula. The Singaporean territory consists of Mainland Singapore, apart from 63 satellite islands or islets and an outlying islet.

Only 3 of these islands are inhabited while 4 are reserved for the Army. Singapore is home to 10 artificial islands that have been reclaimed from the sea. Spread over 728.3 square kilometres, this Asian country lies just 1 degree north of the equator, putting it in the northern hemisphere.

Singapore’s weather is mostly humid, with a dry season from February to April – making it a great time for a vacation. Singapore follows the Singapore Time (SGT) or Singapore Standard Time (SST) which is UTC+8.

India to Singapore Map

Singapore is located to the southeast of India, taking a minimum of 4 hours and 25 minutes to reach. While the Indian Ocean makes it possible to sail from India to Singapore in 4 days, a road trip will mean 52 hours of non-stop driving at the very least.

India to Singapore Distance

The shortest road distance from India to Singapore is 3,536 km while the aerial distance between these two Asian countries is 3,170 km approximately. If one thinks of reaching Singapore via sea, the Port of Singapore is about 1,891 nautical miles away from the Port of Chennai.

Which is Closer to India? Singapore or Malaysia?

Singapore and Malaysia are neighbouring countries, both located in the Indian Ocean. The shortest distance from India to Singapore is almost similar to that from India to Malaysia , a little over 3,000 km. Even the shortest non-stop flights between India and Singapore and India and Malaysia take about 4 hours, placing both the nations neck to neck in competition.

However, one must remember that Singapore is lower than Peninsular Malaysia. If taking the road from India, one will reach Malaysia much before Singapore, making the former much closer to India than the latter. Malaysia is a larger Asian nation, and more diverse in terms of relief features, ethnicities and demography.

Singapore, on the other hand, flaunts a fast-paced lifestyle fuelled by an active start-up scene, an abundance of corporate clout and a thriving community of international students. While this country is mostly a city, there are a wide range of activities to be enjoyed here.

How to Reach Singapore from India?

There are at least 3 ways to reach Singapore from India – by air, by the sea and by land. Thanks to frequent flights, the aerial route remains the most preferred and also the shortest, and sometimes, the cheapest way to travel from India to Singapore . However, the other modes of transport have their own unique excitement.

India to Singapore by Flight

There are numerous flights that leave from various cities in India to Singapore International Airport . The frequency is good and the rates relatively affordable, making this mode of travel the most popular among all others.

Singapore Airport

Respect to Singapore’s Culture & Sentiments

Singapore’ history & culture is a mix of Eastern and Western influences. The ever-increasing influx of foreigners in a land where multiple ethnicities are present underscores the importance of being respectful to everyone.

What to Do and What Not To

Follow these tips to have a smooth time in Singapore:

• Address elders as “uncle” or “auntie” to give honour and appear polite.
• Eating or littering is prohibited on most sidewalks and public transport. Disobeying these rules can attract huge fines and punishment in the form of community service or jail term.
• Remember to stand in a queue on the left when riding an escalator. The right of way is given to those in a hurry.

Fortunately, Singapore does not have a dress code, and visitors are free to wear whatever they are comfortable in. One must keep in mind the hot and humid climate of this island country though. Light, breathable fabrics and flip flops are great for sightseeing. However, it’s nice to have something stylish if you’re going to a fine-dining restaurant.

What to Carry

Singapore’ weather warrants lots of sunscreen, a pair of shades and an umbrella or a raincoat for those unseasonal showers. If you have Singapore walking tours on your itinerary, wear comfy shoes and carry a backpack with water to keep you hydrated.

Things to Note if Travelling with Kids

Singapore tour packages from India that cater to families with children offer much for the little ones, at the same time, putting the parents’ worries to rest. Some pointers for travelling with kids:

• Whether it’s Singapore resorts or public restrooms, this nation is very safe for children and convenient for parents. In fact, Singapore Airport has diaper changing stations in both the male and female restrooms!
• There are plenty of free attractions for toddlers such as the Singapore cable car in Sentosa or Gardens by the Bay (Children’s Garden only). And if you are paying, there is the SEA Aquarium, Science Centre and lots of theme parks.
• Thanks to the robust medical infrastructure, in case you have an emergency, you can ensure proper treatment for your child in Singapore.

Activities & Things to Do

Exciting activities to do in Singapore are:

Adventure Sports

Whether you wish to buy electronics for yourself or souvenirs for family or just window shop, the countless malls and shopping streets of Singapore will baffle you. Pick Orchard Road for high-end malls and branded articles or head to Chinatown or Little India for big bargains.

Explore the Parks & Gardens

It is not just nature reserves but manmade gardens that add to the greenery of Singapore. Stroll through Gardens by the Bay, Fort Canning Park or Singapore Botanic Gardens among several others.

What to do in Singapore for Honeymoon

The ideal Singapore honeymoon package will include various romantic activities like a river cruise along Clarke Quay. A dinner date at the top of Marina Bay Sands, with a bird’s eye view of the entire nation or a night of drinking and dancing at a beach bar in Sentosa are other ideas.

What to do in Singapore with Family

To keep the whole family entertained, a trip to Universal Studios Singapore is highly recommended. If the heart-thumping rides are too wild for your comfort, watch the fireworks and waterworks near the Merlion or visit Singapore Zoo or Jurong Bird Park to feel one with nature.

What to do in Singapore on a Budget

Loads of free things in Singapore await the travel on a shoestring budget. Listen to a live concert at the Esplanade, try the tree-top walk at MacRitchie Reservoir or go on a trail hike to Mount Faber Park or Chestnut Nature Park.

What to do in Singapore for Non Swimmers

Travelling to India

Visa Requirements for India

• Singaporeans are required to obtain a visa before travelling to India. As visa requirements often change at short notice, we advise you to contact the  High Commission of India in Singapore  for up-to-date information. 
• e-Visa Facility for Entry into India  – The Indian e-Visa is valid for entry through 24 designated airports (i.e. Ahmedabad, Amritsar, Bagdogra, Bengaluru, Calicut, Chennai, Chandigarh, Cochin, Coimbatore, Delhi, Gaya, Goa, Guwahati, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Kolkata, Lucknow, Mangalore, Mumbai, Nagpur, Pune, Tiruchirapalli, Trivandrum & Varanasi) and 3 designated seaports (i.e. Cochin, Goa, Mangalore). However, the Indian e-Visa holder can exit from any of the authorised Immigration Check Posts (ICPs) in India.  This Indian e-Visa is an addition to the existing Visa services.  Singaporeans need to apply for the electronic Visa (e-Visa) prior to arrival, i.e. submit your Indian visa forms online and secure the necessary approval before departing for India. Upon arrival in India, travellers on the e-Visa would need to proceed to a “Visa on Arrival” counter at the airport to get their visa stamped on their passport. Please refer to the  Indian Visa Online website  for more information, and beware of fake websites that claim to offer visa services.
• There are several types of visas issued for travel to India, such as Tourist, Business, and Medical visas.  The validity of all visas commences from the date of issue of the visa and not the date of arrival in India.  You should ensure that you obtain the right visa for your travel purposes.
• Please note that the visa is valid from the date of issue until the expiry date and not from the date of arrival. Visitors to India must leave India before the stipulated date of expiry of visa as indicated on the visa stamp/notice or will be deemed to have overstayed.

Note: Although termed as “Visa on Arrival” on the official Indian websites, the process requires an online application to be approved prior to trip to India and the visa endorsed on the passport upon arrival in India. 

Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) card holders:  OCI cardholders do not require a visa to enter India, and only need to present a valid passport and OCI card. 

Loss of/Stolen Passport in India

If your passport is lost or stolen in India, you will need to do the following:

• Lodge a police report with the Indian authorities.
• Report a lost passport  online  with ICA or contact the Singapore High Commission in New Delhi or Consulates in Mumbai or Chennai.
• Depending on your location, the nearest Overseas Mission will contact you for the collection once your passport or Document of Identity (DOI) is ready.
• If you are applying for a new passport or Document of Identity (DOI) at the High Commission or Consulate, you will need to have the following documents:
• One (for DOI application) or two (for passport applications) passport-sized photographs. Instant photographs are acceptable.

Replacement of an India Visa

• A Singapore citizen who is issued with a replacement passport in India after a passport has been lost or stolen must apply an exit permit online with Foreigners Regional Registration Office ( FRRO ). This exit permit allows the traveller a specified period of time (usually a few days) in which to leave the country legally.
• If you have lost your passport but need to return to Singapore urgently, the Consular Officer will be able to issue you a Document of Identity (DOI) once your identity has been verified. The DOI also requires an exit permit to allow the holder to leave the country legally.

• If your arrival in India is at New Delhi, your exit permit may be issued within a short period. If your arrival in India is at another airport or border crossing, your exit visa may take significantly longer to be issued because Indian authorities will want to verify the details of your arrival in India.
• The Singapore High Commission is unable to intervene in the application requests. The FRRO officials will be in the best position to advise you on how long the process will take.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is a ministry of the Government of Singapore responsible for conducting and managing diplomatic relations between Singapore and other countries and regions.

The 13 Best Things to See and Do in Little India, Singapore

Singapore Travel Writer

Of all of Singapore ’s enclaves, Little India is the city-state at its liveliest and most colourful. With narrow little lanes and a bustling community, it is quite unlike the rest of orderly Singapore . So, keep your cameras and your appetites at the ready – here’s our guide to the top things to see and do in Little India, Singapore.

Sri veeramakaliamman temple.

Hindu Temple

The Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple is one of the oldest Hindu temples in Singapore . It’s dedicated to its namesake, better known as Kali, the goddess and destroyer of evil. This temple was built by early Indian immigrants and settlers in 19th-century Singapore – it was known then as Soonambu Kambam Kovil, Tamil for “temple at the lime village”, a reference to the many lime kilns in the area at that time. Despite the air raids of World War II, the temple escaped unscathed and has been renovated several times since.

Indian Heritage Centre

This reflective, modern building, inspired by the Indian baoli (or stepwell), sticks out amidst the narrow streets and old shophouses found in Little India. This four-storey building houses a significant collection of artefacts telling the story of the diverse Indian diaspora, including a permanent exhibition of the history of the Indian community in Singapore. It’s educational, never too jam-packed with people, and a great spot to chill out and soak in some heritage on a hot afternoon.

Tekka Centre

Komala Vilas

Restaurant, Indian

The family-run Komala Vilas is an institution in the Little India dining scene . It is famous for its South Indian vegetarian cuisine – come here for delicious dosa (similar to crepes). The masala dosa , a rice and lentil pancake topped with mashed potato, is a big crowd-pleaser; combine it with the lentil-based vegetable stew sambar and cap it off with a good cup of South Indian coffee. There are several branches within the Little India area, but this one at Serangoon Road is the original outlet that opened in 1947.

Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple

The Sri Srinivasa Perumal temple, along Serangoon Road, is a Hindu temple built in the late 1800s. It was dedicated to Sri Srinivasa Perumal, or Lord Vishnu, the preserver and protector of the universe. Once known as Narasinga Perumal Kovil, this temple in Little India is known for its five-tiered gopuram, or gatehouse tower, covered with the many avatars of Vishnu and other Hindu deities. The temple is the starting point for kavadi carriers during the annual Thaipusam celebrations .

Sakya Muni Buddha Gaya Temple

The Sakya Muni Buddha Gaya Temple is also called the Temple of a Thousand Lights, due to the 15m (50ft), 300-tonne statue surrounded by what seems to be thousands of little lights housed within its walls. This Buddhist temple is an eclectic mix of Chinese, Thai and Indian styles dating back to 1927. First constructed by Thai monk Venerable Vutthisasara as a simple zinc roof shed, it was later built into its current form through donations by Aw Boon Haw and Aw Boon Par – the entrepreneurial brothers who created the medicinal ointment Tiger Balm and Haw Par Villa .

House of Tan Teng Niah

The House of Tan Teng Niah stands out in Little India with its bright rainbow hues, but also because it is one of the last surviving Chinese villas in a largely Indian enclave. Its former owner Tan Teng Niah was a businessman who owned several sweets-making factories along Serangoon Road along with a rubber smokehouse, and it was said that he built this house for his wife. The house was originally white and green, with its kaleidoscopic colours added in more recent times; today, the building houses several commercial offices.

Mustafa Centre

Insomniacs love Mustafa Centre, stocked with over 300,000 items across four floors, as it’s open 24 hours a day. It’s not uncommon to find people getting their shopping done in the wee hours of the night in this Little India treasure. First started in 1971 as a garment shop in nearby Campbell Lane, Mustafa Centre now encompasses visa services, travel agencies, jewellery, catering and even a hotel.

Little India Arcade

The Little India Arcade is a collection of shophouses that date back to the 1920s, with narrow alleyways selling sundry and novelties alongside street food stalls and other eateries. It is a tourist favourite to pick up all sorts of Indian souvenirs, whether it’s fresh floral garlands or intricate textiles, or even a traditional henna tattoo. The building has been preserved to retain some of that retro flavour from its early colonial days.

The Banana Leaf Apolo

The Banana Leaf Apolo is one of the best places for a good hearty meal in Little India. It is famed for its traditional Indian practice of serving food on freshly cut banana leaves, giving the food some additional natural flavours. With over 40 years of experience and several outlets around the island serving both North and South Indian cuisine, the fish head curry is the star dish for your foray into Indian food in Singapore, but don’t miss out on mutton mysore, chicken masala and biryanis.

Jothi Store and Flower Shop

Jothi Store & Flower Shop isn’t a run-of-the-mill corner store. Jothi, in the heart of Little India, is the go-to shop for the countless needs of the Indian community. Typical shop staples like food, medicine and other household goods sit on shelves alongside prayer items used in traditional customs and rituals. Though it caters to local life, Jothi is a must-visit for travellers as well, whether to pick up groceries for the evening or stop and inhale a breath of their wonderfully fresh flowers.

The aroma, illumination and lively performances of the Deepavali – also known as Diwali – festival of lights invites all five senses to celebrate the triumph of good over evil. A major cultural festival for Hindu men and women world-wide each October or November (based on the Hindu lunar calendar), Deepavali in Little India hosts light-up ceremonies, workshops on rangoli and henna painting, and plates upon plates of Deepavali-inspired dishes. Take a walk through any surrounding neighbourhood any time during the month of the festival to spot amazing artwork, installations and decorations on homes and shops.

Those headed into Little India after the New Year will be whisked into the vibrant, annual four-day Pongal Festival. Dazzling light displays, traditional dress and bountiful foods fill the streets as those embracing this South Indian festival celebrate new beginnings. Each day is devoted to different practices, beginning with worshipping Lord Indra and then the Surya Pongal, before ending the celebration by honoring cattle and the elders of each family. Be ready to indulge in Pongal, as abundance is showcased through food, performances and plenty of hands-on activities.

Singapore witnesses a surge in Indian tourist arrivals

Singapore expects 5-6 million locals and tourists during 6-week festivities at fashionable orchard road, a hub for international hotels and global brand outlets.

India is one of the fastest growing markets for tourist arrivals in Singapore post-pandemic, says Mark Shaw, Chairman of Orchard Road Business Association.

“In fact, we saw a huge surge of Indian tourists to the Republic this year,” Shaw told PTI.

“Indian travellers come to Singapore to enjoy the country's many new attractions but we think they also find affinity in our Indian culture and heritage and feel at home here."

Government data shows Indian visitor arrivals up 15.5 per cent to 792,935 for the first nine months of this year compared to the same period last year.

Shaw said according to an industry survey Indian travellers are among the highest spenders globally.

“We are confident that members of Orchard Road Business Association will be able to delight them with a wide range of interesting and innovative product and service offerings,” said Shaw, citing the upcoming festival season in the city-state, with Deepavali on November 12 and then from November 16 the Christmas light-up along Orchard Road to the New Year.

ORBA last week unveiled a programme for its annual Christmas on 'A Great Street Light Up' along Singapore's most popular tourist and hotel belt.

The annual Orchard Road light up, now in its 40th year, has set a tradition of celebrating festivals with colourful decorations and light ups of other precincts in Singapore.

“The success of the first Orchard light-up sparked interest, following which similar light-ups took place in Chinatown, Geylang and Little India,” Shaw pointed out.

Supported by businesses in the precinct and as a way of celebrating a festival, the Little India light up for this year is on from September 30 till December 3, along the main thoroughfares of Serangoon Road and a section of Race Course Road, to attract tourists as well as local visitors.

Coaches of the metro running through the Little India Precincts have been decorated with paintings of rangoli and peacocks as well as greetings from the Land Transport Authority, metro operator SMRT Trains and the Little India Shopkeepers and Heritage Association while it is supported by the Indian Heritage Centre.

Similarly, the light-up celebrations will continue during the Chinese New Year (Lunar New Year) which is held January-February in Chinatown as well as Hari Raya Puasa (Eid) celebration light up in Geylang, a traditional Malay settlement which is still a popular shopping precinct mostly for the Muslim community.

Last year, more than 4 million people joined the merry-making events at hotels and malls and this year, the organiser is expecting 5-6 million locals and tourists during the six-week festivities along the fashionable Orchard Road, now a hub for international hotels and retail outlets of global brands.

Singapore’s Push for Indian Tourists: 3 Deals in 3 Days

Peden Doma Bhutia , Skift

April 3rd, 2024 at 9:12 AM EDT

In just the first three days of April, Singapore Tourism Board has already dropped three announcements about teaming up with Indian companies, a clear sign of India's growing significance.

Peden Doma Bhutia

Singapore is making a push to attract Indian tourists. The Singapore Tourism Board has announced a series of partnerships with Indian companies, the latest an agreement Wednesday with fintech firm PhonePe.

The collaboration will allow Indian travelers to conduct transactions in Singapore directly from their Indian bank accounts by scanning a QR code during their visit.

India is one of the fastest-growing tourism markets , and ranks among Singapore’s top five.

The city-state hosted 1.1 million Indian visitors in 2023. That’s still down from 1.4 million in 2019, but the Singapore Tourism Board anticipates reaching 90-95% of its pre-pandemic numbers this year.

To facilitate this growth, the board plans to streamline the tourist visa process for Indian travelers. Moreover, Singapore has also bolstered connectivity between the two countries by establishing direct flights from 17 Indian cities.

Singapore is also boosting its infrastructure to accommodate both tourists and business travelers, with plans to add 9,000 new hotel rooms to the existing 72,000.

Poh Chi Chuan, executive director of exhibitions and conferences at the Singapore Tourism Board, emphasized that Singapore is not only targeting tourist traffic from India but also catering to business travelers, given the growing trade relations and thriving Indian economy.

MakeMyTrip Collaboration

The PhonePe collaboration comes a day after the tourism board’s partnership with Indian online travel agency MakeMyTrip.

Singapore Tourism Board and MakeMyTrip will collaborate on joint activations and campaigns aimed at increasing inbound travel to Singapore.

The tourism board plans to use MakeMyTrip’s market understanding to create travel holiday packages tailored for Indian consumers.

Singapore was one of the top three searched international destinations on MakeMyTrip platform last year, moving up from the fifth place in 2022, said Rajesh Magow, co-founder and group CEO of MakeMyTrip.

Eye on Indian Weddings

Singapore Tourism Board on Monday announced a collaboration with designer Rahul Mishra to highlight Singapore’s offerings for Indian weddings. The partnership is aimed at providing Indians with insight into the island city through an artisanal curated collection.

Speaking on this collaboration, Markus Tan, regional director for India, Middle East, South Asia and Africa at Singapore Tourism Board noted that Indians prioritize weddings and are becoming increasingly selective about crafting distinctive and unforgettable experiences for their guests.

Skift had earlier reported in a feature how Indian weddings redefine extravagance.  Talking about how destinations weddings have been gaining popularity, report had stated how countries like Thailand, UAE and European hotspots have been eyeing India’s ultra high-net worth individuals.

Skift Research estimates that a typical Indian wedding at an international destination costs about $215,000.

Leveraging the power of Indian celebrities , Singapore Tourism Board in December had partnered with Bollywood actress Ananya Panday for a 4-episode vlog series. The tourism board said this would unveil a “new, exciting and fun side of Singapore.”

Best Time to Visit Singapore

Although Singapore is a year-round destination, the months from November to January, which are the winter months can be the best time to visit Singapore . The weather is not as hot and humid as it is throughout the rest of the year. Christmas and New Year are celebrated with great gusto here and it’s a complete treat for the senses if you happen to visit during this time. The downside is that this is also peak time and the crowds can be quite a deterrent especially if you were looking for a quiet vacation. Also, since the Chinese New Year falls during this time, it’s very likely that you will find ticket and accommodation prices soaring if you haven’t booked ahead of time.

Another great time to visit Singapore is during the month of July. This is especially if you love shopping or food because Singapore has the Great Singapore Sale and Singapore Food Festival during this time. April is also a good time to visit if you’re looking to save money on flights and bookings while the offseason in Singapore is between August and October. Since Singapore hosts the Singapore Grand Prix in mid-September, you can however expect an influx of tourists. But apart from that, hotel rates during this time are quite manageable.

How to Reach Singapore

The best way to reach Singapore is by flight. Singapore is well-connected to India by several direct flights from various cities. There are numerous major airlines that connect India with Singapore and some of these include Air India, Singapore Airlines, Thai Airlines and Tiger Airways to name a few. Some of the cities from where you can fly directly to Singapore include New Delhi, Chennai, Mumbai, and Bangalore. Singapore’s Changi Airport is stunning and offers several facilities like a swimming pool, gym and gorgeous gardens, and even movie theatres, offering passengers an unforgettable experience.

If you’re traveling from Malaysia, then you can reach Singapore by road too. There’s a causeway between Singapore and Johor Bahru and you can rent a car and drive between both countries yourself. You can also opt to hire a taxi or simply take a bus if you wish to travel from Malaysia to Singapore. You can also travel to Singapore by train, and there are two lines. One connects Singapore with Malaysia and the other connects it with Thailand.

Local transport in Singapore is efficient and organized. You can opt for the MRT for which you can take the EZ-Link Card or a Singapore Tourist Pass if you’re staying for more than a week. The buses are also well-connected and alternatively, you can try the trishaws, but you need to have decent bargaining skills, or you’ll end up spending a lot of money.

Places to Visit in Singapore

Singapore is one of the most electric cities that you can find yourself in, a city that is vibrant and alive with culture, technology and the most amazing food you can find. As a city that constantly keeps changing to keep up with the times, it’s also a city that never stays suspended in time. It’s always evolving and yet, there are some places to visit in Singapore  that are perennial favourites. Here are some of them.

Sentosa Island

Universal studios, botanic gardens, gardens by the bay, jurong bird park.

A trip to Singapore simply must include a visit to Universal Studios in Resorts World Sentosa, which has thrilling and exciting rides as well as some spectacular shows. A 49-acre park with seven fun zones, Universal Studios offers the kind of enjoyment that makes adults wish they were back in their childhood. A perfect family outing that includes some hair-raising rides featuring some of the most famous pop culture icons such as Transformers, Jurassic Park, and Sesame Street. Some of the shows here are also extremely thrilling.

Even if you’re not much of a nature enthusiast, you’ll be stunned by the gorgeous greenery of the Singapore Botanic Gardens that is spread out over 82 hectares and has more than 10,000 species of plants and trees. The National Orchid Garden and the Jacob Ballas Children’s Garden are wonderful, but the real treat is the interactive rainforest exhibit which is an unforgettable experience with its museums, statues, fountains and a beautiful lake to top it all.

Right in the middle of Singapore, you’ll come across these stunning structures that look like something out a futuristic movie. These Supertree structures which are a part of the Gardens by the Bay are simply fantastical and they are connected by a skyway that allows people to go on a skywalk that looks out over the gardens. The greenhouse is also shaped like a seashell and it is called the Flower Dome and is currently the largest glass greenhouse in the world. The Super trees, the gardens and the conservatories are spectacular.

If you are looking for a bustling look at contemporary Chinese culture in Singapore, then look no further than Chinatown with its heritage red lanterns, authentic and delicious Chinese food, traditional shops and temples and much more. It’s easy to lose yourself in the middle of this cultivated chaos filled with ceremonies and cultural relics that it’s quite easy to forget that you’re in modern Singapore. Food is also one of the big draws here, especially delicious street food that’s cheap and has a wide variety.

One of the most famous landmarks of Singapore is the Jurong Bird Park which is known to have around 5000 birds from 400 different species. There are several interactive shows and exhibits that will keep you enthralled. But the most spectacular sight here is the Waterfall Aviary which is a delight to the senses. The 30m high waterfall is the world’s largest walk-in aviary. Other things to see here include the Penguin Coast, the Pelican Cove and the Flamingo Lake.

Food in Singapore

Would you believe it that some people make a trip to Singapore, just to enjoy the food? Yes, it’s true. Singapore is rightly considered a feast for the taste buds and a huge number of choices – Malay, Chinese, Japanese, Indian and even continental. There’s something for everyone here. While the range of food in Singapore is quite mind-boggling, here are a few dishes that you must try while you are here.

One of the most popular dishes that you should certainly try when in Singapore is BakChorMee which translates to minced meat and noodles. However, the dish itself is not as mundane as the translation, because it’s a glorious combination of minced meat layered with broth and flat egg noodles, spiced with chilies and a tangy aftertaste.

It’s quite possible that you will have the best dim sums of your life in Singapore. While available all over China and other Asian countries, the dim sum here melts in the mouth and is stuffed with curried chicken, vegetables, pork, beef or seafood. Dim sum in Singapore can often veer into the main course category as people just can’t stop eating them!

This is street food at its best. Strips of meat, be it beef, chicken or pork are skewered and basted with sauce to create a chewy and delicious delight which is often served with peanut sauce and onion rings. This tasty treat is found in most street food outlets and is often sold out very fast.

Drinking Water

Singapore tap water is safe & potable to drink. The water in Singapore undergoes a multi-step purification process, which includes coagulation, sedimentation, filtration, and disinfection. The water is then stored in covered reservoirs and distributed through a network of pipes to homes and businesses throughout the country.

Singapore's multi-ethnic culture and heritage presents a multitude of colourful cuisines, each with its own unique flavor. From Michelin-starred delicacies and international cuisines to scrumptious creations by homegrown chefs and timeless hawker favorite’s, this is where you can taste it all. Savour new flavours, new atmospheres, and discover the obsession that goes into crafting every dish. 

• Chwee kueh: It may not be the prettiest belle at the ball, but we think chwee kueh is in a league of its own. It’s definitely one of our top picks for breakfast foods around the island. Nothing beats the simplicity of chewy rice cakes. And when you slather them in salty chye poh and tangy chilli, you’ve got the perfect bite.
• Wanton mee: A perfect bowl of wanton noodles should be a medley of wildly contrasting textures. Firm, springy noodles drenched in sauce, soft dumplings stuffed with flavourful meat, and thick char siew (barbecued pork) slices with a good bit of charring. Some of our top picks include Ji Ji Wanton Noodle Specialist and Fei Fei Roasted Noodle.
• Char kway teow: This fried rice noodle dish may not score major points for presentation, but we guarantee you it’s darned tasty. What you’ll get is a plate of flat rice noodles, stir-fried in sweet dark soy sauce with fishcake, egg, bean sprouts, prawns and cockles. It’s no secret that this doesn’t register high on the health-o-meter, but we just can’t resist digging into a plate at the much-lauded Armenian Street Char Kway Teow.

From its gorgeously lit up skyline to its wide range of activities, there are innumerable fun things to do in Singapore and there’s not a single moment where you could feel bored. Here are some of the top things to do in Singapore .

Visit Raffles Hotel

Explore clarke quay, check out orchard road, go on the singapore flyer, enjoy the singapore night safari, explore the wonders of s.e.a. aquarium in singapore, go on a cruise ride, eat at lau pa sat market.

For a cosmopolitan experience like no other, head to Clarke Quay which has numerous bars and restaurants and of course, the best nightclubs in the city. The location itself is of primary importance as it’s located on a quay and the body of water adds a certain glamour to the place. You can spot people settling down for a bite at the many riverside restaurants while the bars add a bit of excitement. There are lots of exciting options for shoppers as well.

If you love window shopping and walking past beautiful boutiques and restaurants, then Orchard Road is an iconic site that must be experienced. It’s easy to spend an entire day looking through the various shops, restaurants and cafés as well as shopping malls which also feature fairs and other exciting activities, making this an extremely happening place at the best of times.

If you don’t fear heights, go on the Singapore Flyer, which is said to be the world’s largest observation wheel. The Singapore Flyer is 165 metres high and offers some spectacular sights, both at night and day. Some of the sights that you can witness would be Marina Bay, Empress Place, Raffles Place and the Singapore River to name a few. This is truly a magnificent experience and one that must not be missed if you are in Singapore.

One of the best things to do in Singapore is the Night Safari which is quite brilliant and an experience that will not be forgotten soon. It’s much more than a zoo and it begins with the Creatures of the Night show that offers a 20-minute overview of the animals that can be seen here. Some of the animals that you will see here include one-horned rhinos, wildebeests, gazelles and Himalayan griffon vultures among the 1000 animals from around the world.

Explore the S.E.A. Aquarium in Singapore, a mesmerizing underwater world boasting over 100,000 marine creatures. Wander through vibrant coral reefs and encounter majestic sharks gliding overhead. Dive into interactive exhibits like the Open Ocean Habitat and marvel at rare species like the Giant Pacific Octopus. Perfect for families and marine enthusiasts, it's a must-visit highlight when exploring the best things to do in Singapore. S.E.A. Aquarium promises an unforgettable exploration of the ocean's mysteries right in the heart of Singapore.

Enjoy a quiet and relaxing ride on the harbor and see a completely different side of Singapore. There are several options that you can choose from – a high tea cruise or a dinner cruise and you can also try the Morning Glory Cruise which begins early in the morning. Every cruise is quite unique and shows an aspect of Singapore that you would not have seen otherwise.

The Lau Pa Sat Market is one of the well-known street food centers that you should not miss out on when you are in Singapore. Located in the middle of the central business district, during day you are most likely to see office people grabbing a quick lunch but by evening, the street is closed, and it becomes everyone go-to place for delicious and filling food. If you’re adventurous enough, you can try some interesting seafood dishes here such as grilled stingray in spicy sambal sauce.

A strategic merger: Air India and Vistara alliance with Singapore Airlines

Singapore Airlines recent approval of its investment in the Air India-Vistara merger marks a groundbreaking deal of the aviation industry. This strategic move brings together Tata’s group Air India with Vistara within Singapore Airlines which is the only international airline with a direct stake in an Indian carrier holding a 25% stake. The Singaporean airline is due to invest around $880 million making the Indian aviation market progressively lucrative. It’s also worth noting that India’s Tata took over flag carrier Air India and undertook a multimillion dollar transformation of the previous state-run carrier.

More about the investment

A Singapore Airline’s spokesperson said:

“The Indian government has approved its proposed foreign direct investment into the enlarged Air India Group, as part of the ongoing merger of Air India and Vistara. This approval, along with other governmental and regulatory approvals received to-date, marks a significant development towards the completion of the merger. SIA and its partner Tata Sons aim to finalise the merger by the end of 2024. “

The merger between Air India and Vistara announced in November 2022 will create a dominant carrier that can operate effectively on both domestic and international routes. Air India’s operation to excellence combined with Vistara’s services will contribute to a full service, low-cost,  fastest growing Indian aviation sector. By merging Air India’s potential with Vistara’s strengths the airlines will offer extensive connectivity and enhanced customer service. More particularly, starting on September 3 customers will no longer make bookings with Vistara but will be directed to Air India’s website to make bookings for upcoming trips. However both Vistara and Air India will provide essential assistance, clear communication, and advanced convenience to all customers throughout the entire procedure. Consequently, Vinod Kannan, Chief Executive Officer of Vistara, said:

“We are immensely grateful to all our customers for their support and patronage over the last 10 years. As we progress further in our growth journey, we want to emphasise that this merger is about offering them more choice with a larger fleet and a wider network, while elevating the overall travel experience. Vistara and Air India are committed to ensuring that this transition is smooth and hassle-free. We are excited about this new phase in our journey and look forward to welcoming our customers again soon – as Air India.”

Upcoming challenges

However, this ambitious plan comes together with particular challenges. Air India’s management considered delaying the merger to upgrade Air India’s fleet and services. This move aimed to maintain Vistara’s superiority. However,  the management proceeded to drop this plan due to concerns about the distribution of main positions within the merged airline.

This strategic incorporation of Air India and Vistara under Singapore Airlines signifies a competitive future for the aviation industry prioritising the travellers.

"Don't Take Taxi At Night": Singapore Tourist On "Things To Avoid In Delhi"

What was meant to be a fun-filled exploration of india’s capital turned into an unsettling journey for the singapore vlogger and her friend.

Singapore vlogger shared her Delhi trip experience.

A travel vlogger from Singapore recently recounted a troubling experience during her visit to Delhi, leaving many on the internet concerned. What was meant to be a fun-filled exploration of India's capital turned into an unsettling journey for the vlogger and her friend. Sharing their story on her Instagram account, she provided three critical tips for tourists visiting the city.

In her post, she said, "Do not take a taxi in the middle of the night." The vlogger explained how she and her friend arrived at the airport late at night and went for a pre-paid taxi after failing to book an Uber. Unfortunately, their troubles began when the driver demanded an additional Rs 200 at the end of the trip and dropped them at a wrong location.

Her second piece of advice was, "Do not give your contact number to a rickshaw driver." While visiting the Jama Masjid area, the duo met a rickshaw driver and shared their number with him. Initially, they believed that paying him Rs 1,000 – around double the price of an Uber – was generous, only to be met with an outrageous demand for Rs 6,000 by the end of the trip.

Finally, she warned travellers, "Do not bring only a credit card instead of cash." Stressing the importance of carrying cash in India, especially when dealing with street vendors, she noted that cash transactions are far more common and often the only accepted payment method. 

Watch the video here:

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Travels with Syl | Solo Travel Diary! (@travelswithsyl)

The video, which now has over 2 million views, has sparked discussions on safety and awareness while travelling.

A user commented, “They loot foreigners.”

Another stated, “You don't give your number in any corner of the world.”

“Lol 6,000 it's 60 rs,” a comment read.

A few people asked tourists to seek help when they face such problems. A user wrote, “One good tip for the foreign travellers. Don't stress. Go to the nearest man you see and tell him that you are being harassed in some way. Rest the public will manage.”

“I feel so bad watching this... Wish I was there to guide them,” read a comment.

Earlier, two foreign tourists had a harrowing experience in Delhi when they were chased by two homeless children in an e-rickshaw in pursuit of money. A video posted on X showed the children persistently pursuing the tourists, with one clinging to the rickshaw's rods while the other ran alongside, demanding money.

Don't take taxi at night: Singapore tourist shares video on 'things to avoid in Delhi'

In a new post, chan sylvia shared a video featuring snippets of her visit to india and emphasised that her only intention is to "sincerely share" her "real experiences" in the country..

• Singapore vlogger lists ‘things to avoid in Delhi’
• Chan Sylvia shared a video featuring snippets of her visit to India
• Sylvia said that people should refrain from taking a taxi at night in Delhi

A Singapore vlogger who had an unpleasant experience with a rickshaw driver in Old Delhi during her trip to India in August has now listed three things to “avoid” in the national capital.

In a new post, Chan Sylvia shared a video featuring snippets of her visit to India and emphasised that her only intention is to “sincerely share” her “real experiences” in the country. “India has been a wonderful place to explore,” she added in a comment on her post.

Elaborating on the things that should be “avoided” in Delhi, Sylvia said that people should refrain from taking a taxi at night.

“Do not take a taxi in the middle of the night,” she said, adding, “We arrived at night and took a taxi since we couldn’t get an Uber from the airport. The driver asked for Rs 200 more at the end of the trip even though it was a prepaid taxi and dropped us off at a different location.”

Next, Sylvia recounted her “scary” encounter with the rickshaw driver in Old Delhi.

“Do not give your number to a rickshaw driver. When we visited Jama Masjid, we met a rickshaw driver and gave him our number. We spent quite some time with him, thinking we should pay him around Rs 1,000, which is double the price of an Uber but he demanded Rs 6,000. How much should it be? Maybe just Rs 3,000 per person. We learnt the hard way that you should always settle the price before getting on a rickshaw or simply use Uber,” she said.

Most importantly, Sylvia insisted that tourists must carry cash at all times: “Do not bring only a credit card instead of cash. Cash is more common in India than credit cards.”
