The overall India to Mauritius trip cost depends on your travel style and budget. Prices may vary based on the season, travel deals, and personal choices. Here's a category-wise cost estimate to help you plan better.

Flight Costs

A round-trip flight from major Indian cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, or Bengaluru to Mauritius (Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport) usually costs between ₹35,000 and ₹55,000 in economy class.

• Direct flights take around 6–7 hours and may have slightly higher fares

Booking 2–3 months in advance and flying during the shoulder season (April–June or September–October) can help you save up to 25%.

Indians can find affordable vegetarian Indian meals at several places. If you’re staying at a resort, some could offer full board (all meals included), which might save you more in the long run.
