Flying in

Flights from India

  • Lantau Island (HKG) · from 6 Indian cities, from ₹13,500 one way

Entry rules

No visa needed for up to 14 days

Before you fly, register online for the free Pre-arrival Registration (PAR) for Indian nationals on the Hong Kong Immigration Department website (immd.gov.hk). It must succeed before you travel; do it as soon as you book, so there is time to apply for a visa if it does not.

Checked 2026-10; confirm with the embassy before you fly.

🧘 Lantau & the Outlying Islands

Lantau, the big green island where the airport is, with the Ngong Ping 360 cable car to the Big Buddha, the stilt village of Tai O and Hong Kong Disneyland; and, by ferry from Central, the car-free fishing island of Cheung Chau. Country parks, beaches and hiking trails cover most of it.

🌃 Hong Kong Island

The island across the harbour from Kowloon: Central's towers, the Peak and its view, Sheung Wan's temples and the trams of Wan Chai and Causeway Bay on the north shore; Ocean Park, Aberdeen's typhoon shelter, Repulse Bay, Stanley and the Dragon's Back ridge walk on the green south side, half an hour away over the hills or through the tunnel.

🏮 Kowloon

The peninsula on the mainland side of Victoria Harbour: Tsim Sha Tsui's waterfront, museums and nightly light show, the West Kowloon museums, Nathan Road's hotels and Indian restaurants, and the street markets, temples and dai pai dong of Mong Kok, Yau Ma Tei, Sham Shui Po and Wong Tai Sin. The densest, busiest and often cheapest place to stay.

🪨 Sai Kung & the New Territories

The countryside between Kowloon and the mainland border, most of it hills and country park. Sai Kung, an hour from Kowloon, has the volcanic rock columns of the UNESCO Global Geopark, the beaches of Tai Long Wan and a waterfront of seafood restaurants.
