Vietnam for Indian Travellers: Visa & Route
North to south, by region
Old towns, limestone bays, coffee culture, and long scenic routes — a high-value, culturally rich trip that still feels familiar to Indian palates.
Plan your trip
- Best time
- Vietnam is long, so seasons vary: March to April and September to November are the safest country-wide windows.
- How to reach
- One-stop and some direct flights to Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City from India. An e-visa is available for Indian travellers (confirm current rules).
- Getting around
- Domestic flights for the long north–south distance, plus trains, sleeper buses, and Grab in the cities.
- Rough budget
- A week runs roughly ₹45,000–80,000 per person — Vietnam is one of the better-value first trips abroad.
A short itinerary
- Days 1–3: Hanoi and a Ha Long or Lan Ha Bay overnight cruise.
- Days 4–5: Fly central to Hoi An: lantern-lit old town, tailors, and beaches.
- Days 6–7: Ho Chi Minh City and the Mekong Delta, or Da Nang for the coast.
