If you're traveling to these 2 countries and have Airtel then for the sake of convenience International roaming would be better but if you're going to consume lots of data the take individual sim card in each country.

I would suggest you buy a local card which would be rougly around INR 800-1000 per country for 10 days. Last month i had been to both singapore, malaysia and indonesia so i got the vodafone international roaming for 4999/-, however, figured out it would have been couple of grands cheaper if i got sim card from specific countries. Also, consider downloading offline maps through wifi at your hotel so you can save most of the data for surfing useful things on the go like - history of the place or best things to visit or eat around. Try uploading on social media once you back at the hotel other than going live. These small tips and tricks would help save your data and money. Happy exploring buddy... Do check out my travel vlogs on Malaysia backpacking....it was a budget trip so might be helpful.

Hey... There are many ways to move from Ahmedabad to Goa. However, if you like road trips, then you should definitely try it. I found a similar story and I'm sharing it with you. Check the link below. Hope this helps!

UpvoteCommentHi! The cheapest and most convenient way to get to Goa would be to take a train, for which many options are available. The travel time from train is approximately 20 hours. You can also take to the road and drive but that could end up costing more as you would have to take many halts. the travelling time would also be increased. Happy Travelling!

Yes, they will be allowed. But how would they communicate, it's a big question.
You may check this video out for Switzerland travel, https://youtu.be/OslsFGWUtng

You can engage an agent to apply for their schengen visa which includes Switzerland and other places in the European Union. But communication will be a big challenge if they can't speak in English, unless they're taking a package tour.
