🎯 Build My Trip Under ₹2,50,000Frequently asked questions
Is ₹2,50,000 enough for Melbourne?
It's lean but workable, per person — flights, 6 nights in a central apartment, the Great Ocean Road and Phillip Island, plus food and transport. Travel in shoulder season and use apartments to make it fit.
When is the cheapest time to visit Melbourne?
Australia's autumn and spring (around March–May and September–November) balance decent weather with lower flight and hotel prices than the December–January peak.
Is the Great Ocean Road worth it?
Absolutely — it's the highlight of any Melbourne trip. A full-day tour or self-drive to the Twelve Apostles is well worth a day.
