Hi Joshiyo2,

Welcome to MySwissAlps! Cost estimations are hard as they vary hugely by personal preferences. You could spend CHF 100 or 1000 per night on accommodation, buy your food in supermarkets or go out for dinner, travel a lot or a little, etc. Here are some pages for you to get started:

• http://www.myswissalps.com/pl antrip/doityourself
• http://www.myswissalps.com/sw isstravelpass/price
• http://www.myswissalps.com/lu cerne/hotels
• http://www.myswissalps.com/in terlaken/hotels
• http://www.myswissalps.com/ze rmatt/hotels
• http://www.myswissalps.com/zu rich/hotels

I recommend to look for hotels, as there won’t be many apartments available for 2 or 3 nights only typically.

Hi Joshiy02,

Jungfraujoch is a very long day trip from Lucerne, and Titlis is very far from Interlaken. It’s up to you what you like best: two base towns or one base with some very long day trips. You can find travel times here: http://www.myswissalps.com/ti metable. Both towns have a few Indian restaurants. I would recommend to try some of the Swiss cuisine though, now that you have that chance: http://www.myswissalps.com/ab outswitzerland/culture history/food.

I don’t know Swiss Tours. If you are interested in a package rather than planning the trip yourself, then please have a look here: http://www.myswissalps.com/pl antrip/selfguided.

I am from Pune India and had the same questions you asked. Better to have 2 base at lucerne and Interlaken. If you have early morning flight from zurich stay at zurich airport hotel

I wrote detailed travel blog. Pl visit http://www.myswissalps.com/fo rum/topic/trip-report-switzerland-may-2017 and click pages Switzerland and swiss itinerary. Hope it will give you answers to your questions. Pl take time to read since they are detailed and lengthy

Budget at least INR 150,000 but we did not eat out

stay plan is OK, we did one day trip to Zermatt from Interlaken

We did everything on our own hence our costs were lower. I have already written on my blog.

What’s your plan for Zermatt

[Shroffchetan]

29 June 2019 at 13:09:59 #916184

Can you give your flight timings

You need to check booking.com, tripadvisor, airbnb for hotels / apartment

Hi Joshiyo2,

I already gave you the links to recommend hotels in my previous post.

1. You need to keep one day extra for visits to Titlis/Jungfraujoch/Gornergrat/ Klein Matterhorn, since weather suddenly can become adverse in mountain tops.
2.I select hotels based on trip advisor ratings and reviews. I selected on this basis Hotel Drei Konige,Lucerne because their free breakfast is rated high. You can make choice based on your own requirements.
3. Lucerne has 5 or 6 Indian restaurant with thali from 10CHF to 30 CHF. In Zermatt,I could not find any Indian restaurants, so I used the Theplas I carried from Hyderabad and food from departmental stores/ mcdonalds

Sundar

I hope this is a loosely drafted itinerary and you intend to build a micro itinerary on top of this

For a 10 day trip, you are essentially covering only mountains which are anyways unreliable due to weather.. I believe you do can do much more than just mountains unless you have consciously planned that way. I am not sure what the town orientation tours are but in my experience there isnt much exciting to do and see in the towns.I would rather step outside them.

so my suggestion is to go to next level and check out the travel times when you move the base and for everything that you have planned and you will realize you will have much time left with you that you should plan for.

For hotels, do check the link given by Arno and check out reviews for them on tripadvisor and booking.com and then make your decision
