Small side trips traveling between US & India

Accepted answer

Looking at the available flights, you have two options:

  1. Flying east you could stop in Europe, common stop-overs are London, Paris, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Vienna, or all the way to Dubai.

  2. When flying west in addition to Singapore and Hong Kong other options are: Seoul, Bangkok, Tokyo or Shanghai.

All these cities are interesting enough for a few days or more (I haven't been to Seoul, so I can't judge it).

Next check 'Visa'. Which of these countries can you visit without an advanced visa. Of course this depends on your nationality. I assume you have an Indian passport. I don't think a US Green Card helps.

A good source for the question 'Do I need a visa' is VisaHQ

It rules out all the European cities, also the Emirates. Of all the Asian stop-overs only Hong Kong is listed as visa free.

You can visit many Island states in the Caribbean and Pacific but none of these 'free' countries are really helpful as a stop-over.

So Hong Kong it is!
