Below you’ll find realistic destination picks, sample budgets, itinerary ideas, visa notes, booking tips, and links to Travelexie packages so you can act fast.
Who this guide is for
- Travellers who want both package and custom options – Travelexie can help design these.
- Indian travellers who want an international holiday capped at ₹1.5 lakh per person.
- People who prefer clarity up front: expected costs, best routes, and quick booking tips.
Top Pick International Holiday Under ₹1.5 lakh
- Central Europe — economical group packages and short private tours. Example: Essence of Central Europe packages start competitively under ₹80k (land package), making 7–9 day trips well within ₹1.5 lakh once flights are added smartly.
- Budget Europe — curated budget Europe tours (off-season or smart routing) often start from ~₹1.2 lakh. These options work well for travellers who accept modest hotels and well-timed flights.
- Thailand (Phuket, Krabi, Bangkok combos) — short, well-priced 4–6 day packages with meals and transfers; great value for families and couples.
- Bali & nearby islands — 5–7 day packages that balance culture and beaches; peak vs off-peak pricing matters.
- Selective Maldives offers — some 3–4 night packages or guesthouse stays that fit budgets if you pick promos and avoid premium resorts.
How to make ₹1.5 lakh go further — sample budget breakdown

Booking strategy to guarantee comfort under ₹1.5 lakh
- Pick shoulder season (just before or after peak) to cut flight and hotel costs.
- Bundle: Choose packages that include transfers, select meals, and a few excursions — it’s often cheaper than booking every item separately. Start browsing Travelexie’s holiday packages to compare inclusions.
- Shortlist routes, then watch flights: If flights spike, swap the route for a similar destination with cheaper airfares.
- Book open-jaw or multi-city flights smartly when routing reduces backtracking and saves time.
- Use local transport passes in Europe — saves money and time in cities.
Visa and document essentials
- Check visa type early: Schengen for Europe, e-Visa or Visa-on-Arrival for several ASEAN countries, and Maldives ETA where applicable.
- Start Schengen or other visa processes at least 30–45 days before travel and use the Travelexie visa support if you want help. For Europe Schengen-specific paperwork, see Travelexie’s Schengen guide. (Insert link to your Schengen guide on the site where relevant.)
Who should choose a package, and who should go custom?
- Choose a package if you want easier budgeting, included logistics, and local support — ideal for families and first-time international travellers. Travelexie’s short Europe and Thailand packages are created for that exact purpose.
- Go custom if you want a tailored pace, specific hotels, or off-the-beaten-path stops — Travelexie builds custom itineraries too.
Quick packing & money tips
