Compare fares across all airlines on FareEagle to find the best deal. Prices fluctuate based on demand, seasonality, and how far in advance you book. Generally, booking 2-4 weeks ahead for domestic flights and 6-8 weeks for international routes gives the best value.

The following airlines operate regular services between Leh and Seychelles. Each airline offers different fare classes, baggage allowances, and onboard services.

Full-service international carriers typically include meals, checked baggage (20-30 kg), and in-flight entertainment. Compare the total cost including baggage on FareEagle — sometimes a full-service fare with included baggage is cheaper than a low-cost fare plus add-ons.

People travel this route for leisure, seeking a contrast between the mountainous landscapes and the serene beaches of the Indian Ocean. Seychelles offers a relaxed, island vibe with opportunities for water sports and nature exploration.

Best time to fly

The best time to visit Seychelles is during the shoulder seasons of April-May and September-October. These months offer pleasant weather, avoiding the peak heat and humidity. Consider visiting during the Seychelles Ocean Festival in November for cultural experiences.

From Seychelles International Airport (SEZ) to Victoria, the capital, you have several options. A taxi will cost approximately 300-500 SCR and takes around 15-20 minutes. Public buses are a cheaper alternative, costing around 5-10 SCR, but may require a change and take longer.

Things to do in Seychelles

Visit Anse Source d'Argent: Famous for its unique rock formations and pristine beach. Explore Vallée de Mai Nature Reserve: A UNESCO World Heritage Site, home to the rare coco de mer palm. Go island hopping: Take a boat trip to nearby islands like Praslin and La Digue. Snorkelling or diving: Discover the colourful marine life in the clear waters.

Food to try

Try the grilled fish, often served with Creole sauce, a staple in Seychellois cuisine. Sample the ladob, a sweet dessert made from ripe plantain or breadfruit cooked in coconut milk, sugar, nutmeg, and vanilla. Enjoy fresh seafood at beachfront restaurants.

Local tips

Seychelles uses the Seychellois Rupee (SCR), but Euros are widely accepted, especially in tourist areas. Negotiate prices with taxi drivers before starting your journey to avoid misunderstandings. Pack light clothing, swimwear, and reef-safe sunscreen to protect the coral reefs.
