Vietnam has emerged as one of the fastest-growing travel destinations for Indians, offering an intoxicating blend of ancient culture, jaw-dropping natural beauty, world-class cuisine, and prices that make even budget-conscious travellers feel like royalty. Our Vietnam tour packages take you from the misty limestone karsts of Ha Long Bay to the lantern-lit streets of Hoi An, the buzzing motorbike chaos of Hanoi, and the floating markets of the Mekong Delta — all at prices that make Vietnam one of the best value destinations accessible from India.
Vietnam offers something rare in international travel — genuine value without compromise. A bowl of pho at a Hanoi street stall costs INR 100. A luxury cruise through Ha Long Bay with private cabin, all meals, and guided kayaking runs under INR 8,000 per person. A tailored suit in Hoi An, hand-stitched from Italian silk to your exact measurements, costs less than a ready-made shirt at a Delhi mall. The Vietnamese Dong's exchange rate means your rupees stretch absurdly far, and the quality of experience you get per rupee spent is arguably the best in Asia.
Direct flights from Indian cities have made Vietnam more accessible than ever. IndiGo, VietJet, and Vietnam Airlines connect Delhi, Mumbai, and Kolkata to Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. The e-Visa for Indians is processed online in 3 working days, eliminating the need for embassy visits. And Vietnam's 3,000-kilometre coastline, UNESCO-listed heritage sites, and one of the world's great food cultures mean there's enough here to fill trips from 5 days to 5 weeks.
Hanoi, Vietnam's capital, is a city where ancient and modern collide spectacularly. The Old Quarter's 36 streets — each named after the goods traditionally sold there — are a sensory overload of motorbikes, street vendors, and French colonial architecture. Hoan Kiem Lake sits in the city's heart, with the iconic red bridge leading to Ngoc Son Temple. The Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, Temple of Literature (Vietnam's first university, founded in 1070), and the Vietnam Museum of Ethnology round out the essential cultural stops.
Ha Long Bay is Vietnam's crown jewel — a UNESCO World Heritage Site where nearly 2,000 limestone islands and islets rise dramatically from emerald waters. Overnight junk boat cruises are the best way to experience it, with activities including kayaking through hidden caves, swimming in secluded lagoons, and watching the sunrise paint the karsts in gold. Our packages include both budget and luxury cruise options.
Hoi An is Vietnam's most charming town — a UNESCO World Heritage Site where 15th-century merchant houses, Chinese temples, and a Japanese covered bridge line the Thu Bon River. Every full moon, the town switches off electric lights and illuminates the streets with thousands of silk lanterns. Hoi An is also Asia's tailoring capital, with over 400 shops that can produce custom suits, dresses, and shoes within 24 hours.
Da Nang has the best beaches in central Vietnam — My Khe Beach regularly appears on global best-beach lists. The Golden Bridge at Ba Na Hills, held aloft by giant stone hands, has become one of Asia's most Instagrammed structures. Hue, the former imperial capital, offers the magnificent Citadel, royal tombs along the Perfume River, and some of the best regional cuisine in the country.
Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) is Vietnam at its most energetic — a city of 9 million people and seemingly 9 million motorbikes. The War Remnants Museum, Cu Chi Tunnels, and Reunification Palace tell the story of Vietnam's turbulent 20th century. Ben Thanh Market is a shopping institution, and the rooftop bars along Nguyen Hue Walking Street offer cocktails with skyline views at a fraction of Singapore or Bangkok prices.
The Mekong Delta, Vietnam's rice bowl, is a labyrinth of rivers, swamps, and floating markets reachable on day trips from Ho Chi Minh City. Cai Rang and Cai Be floating markets see hundreds of boats loaded with tropical fruits, vegetables, and steaming pots of noodle soup trading at dawn. It is one of the most authentically Vietnamese experiences available anywhere.
Vietnam stretches 1,650 kilometres from north to south, so deciding which regions to visit depends on your time. A 5-7 day trip typically covers either the north (Hanoi + Ha Long Bay + Sapa) or the south (Ho Chi Minh City + Mekong Delta + Phu Quoc). A comprehensive 10-14 day trip covers north to south with internal flights between regions. The best weather varies by region — November to April for the north, February to August for central and south. Browse our packages below to find the perfect Vietnam itinerary for your travel style.
Best for northern Vietnam (Hanoi, Ha Long Bay, Sapa) with cool, dry weather at 15-22°C. Peak tourist season. Southern Vietnam stays warm and dry at 25-32°C. Central Vietnam can be rainy in November but clears by December.
Excellent across the entire country. Warm but not yet scorching, with minimal rainfall. Da Nang and Hoi An are at their best. Ha Long Bay has clearer skies. Perfect balance of weather, prices, and crowd levels.
Hot and humid in the north with afternoon thunderstorms. Central coast beaches (Da Nang, Nha Trang) enjoy their best weather. Southern Vietnam sees regular rain but temperatures remain pleasant. Budget-friendly with fewer tourists in the north.
Noi Bai International Airport (HAN) in Hanoi and Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN) in Ho Chi Minh City are the two main gateways. IndiGo, VietJet, and Vietnam Airlines operate direct flights from Delhi, Mumbai, and Kolkata. Flight time is 4-5 hours. Da Nang (DAD) also has limited international connections.
Vietnam shares land borders with China (north), Laos (west), and Cambodia (south). International buses connect Ho Chi Minh City to Phnom Penh (6 hours) and Hanoi to Kunming, China. The Moc Bai border crossing between Vietnam and Cambodia is the busiest and most tourist-friendly.
The Reunification Express runs the full length of Vietnam from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City in 30-36 hours, stopping at Hue and Da Nang. International train connections exist between Hanoi and Nanning, China. Sleeper berths offer a scenic and comfortable way to see the countryside.
Cruise ships dock at Ha Long Bay, Da Nang, Nha Trang, and Phu Quoc. Regular ferry services connect the mainland to Phu Quoc island and Con Dao islands. Ha Long Bay overnight junk boat cruises depart from Tuan Chau Marina or Got pier near Haiphong.
Sail through nearly 2,000 limestone karsts on an overnight junk boat cruise. Kayak into hidden caves, swim in secluded lagoons, visit floating fishing villages, and watch the sunrise from the deck. Budget to luxury options available from Hanoi.
Navigate the chaotic 36 streets of Hanoi's ancient trading quarter. Sample egg coffee at Cafe Giang, try bun cha at a street stall, explore the night market on weekends, and watch water puppetry — a uniquely Vietnamese art form dating back 1,000 years.
Visit Hoi An during the full moon when the ancient town turns off electric lights and floats thousands of lanterns down the Thu Bon River. Stroll the Japanese Covered Bridge, take a cooking class, and get custom tailoring done in 24 hours at one of 400+ tailor shops.
Crawl through the Cu Chi tunnel network — 250 kilometres of underground passages used during the Vietnam War. Located 70km from Ho Chi Minh City, the tunnels housed hospitals, kitchens, and command centres. A sobering and fascinating half-day trip.
Take a dawn boat ride through the Mekong Delta to Cai Rang floating market where hundreds of boats trade tropical fruits, vegetables, and hot food. Visit coconut candy workshops, cycle through rice paddies, and sample fresh tropical fruits straight from the orchards.
Trek through the spectacular rice terraces of Sapa in northern Vietnam, meeting Hmong, Dao, and Tay ethnic minorities in their mountain villages. The terraces are most stunning during planting season (May-June) when they fill with water, and harvest season (September-October) when they turn golden.
Relax on My Khe Beach — named one of the most beautiful beaches on the planet by Forbes. Take the cable car to Ba Na Hills for the iconic Golden Bridge held by giant stone hands, explore the French Village, and ride the alpine coaster through mountain forests.
Vietnam's largest island offers pristine white-sand beaches, snorkelling over coral reefs, fish sauce factory tours, and the world's longest non-stop three-rope cable car. Night squid fishing with local fishermen is a unique experience. Phu Quoc is visa-free for stays up to 30 days.
Vietnam's national dish — rice noodle soup with a deeply aromatic broth slow-simmered for 12+ hours with star anise, cinnamon, and charred ginger. Pho bo (beef) and pho ga (chicken) are the two main styles. The best bowls cost VND 30,000-50,000 (INR 100-170) at Hanoi street stalls.
The world's best sandwich — a crispy French baguette stuffed with pate, cold cuts, pickled carrots, daikon, fresh chillies, cilantro, and mayonnaise. Vietnamese-French fusion at its finest. Banh Mi Phuong in Hoi An was declared the best by Anthony Bourdain.
Hanoi's beloved lunch dish — grilled pork patties and sliced pork belly served in a sweet, tangy dipping broth with rice noodles and fresh herbs. Bun Cha Huong Lien became world-famous after Barack Obama ate there with Anthony Bourdain.
Ho Chi Minh City's signature dish — fractured rice grains topped with grilled pork chop, shredded pork skin, a steamed egg meatloaf, and pickled vegetables with fish sauce. A hearty, affordable meal found at street-side com tam stalls across Saigon.
Hanoi's unique invention — strong Vietnamese coffee topped with a creamy, sweet meringue of whipped egg yolk, condensed milk, and sugar. It tastes like liquid tiramisu. Cafe Giang near Hoan Kiem Lake claims to have invented it in 1946.
A Hoi An exclusive — thick rice noodles with sliced pork, bean sprouts, herbs, and crispy croutons in a small amount of rich broth. The noodles are traditionally made with water from a specific ancient well and lye from local wood ash, giving them a unique chewy texture.
Central Vietnam's answer to pho — a spicy, lemongrass-infused beef and pork noodle soup from the imperial city of Hue. Thicker round noodles, shrimp paste, and chilli oil give it a robust, complex flavour that many food critics consider superior to pho.
Fresh spring rolls (goi cuon) are translucent rice paper wraps filled with shrimp, pork, rice noodles, and herbs, dipped in hoisin-peanut sauce. Fried spring rolls (nem ran in the north, cha gio in the south) are crispy and golden. Both are available everywhere for VND 20,000-40,000.
Saigon's most iconic market since 1912. Over 1,500 stalls sell lacquerware, ao dai (traditional dresses), coffee beans, silk, and souvenirs. Bargain hard — start at 30-40% of the asking price. The night market surrounding it has cheaper street food and fashion.
Hoi An has 400+ tailors who can create custom suits, dresses, shoes, and leather goods in 24-48 hours. Yaly Couture and A Dong Silk are reputable shops. Bring reference photos, choose fabric carefully, and always do a fitting before the final delivery.
Each of the 36 streets specialises in a different product — Hang Gai for silk, Hang Bac for silver, Hang Ma for paper goods and lanterns. Prices are lower than southern Vietnam. The weekend night market on Hang Dao street is excellent for souvenirs and street food.
Hanoi's largest covered market spread across four floors. Wholesale prices on clothing, textiles, electronics, and household goods. Less touristy than Ben Thanh, with better prices and a more authentic local market atmosphere.
Two indoor malls packed with stalls selling brand-name clothing (some authentic, many replicas), bags, shoes, watches, and accessories at fraction-of-retail prices. Popular with locals and tourists alike. Bargaining is standard.
The cool highland city of Da Lat hosts a vibrant night market selling artichoke tea, local wines, dried fruits, handknit woollens, and strawberry products. Much less aggressive than lowland markets. The surrounding streets have excellent street food stalls.
Indian citizens require a visa to enter Vietnam. The most convenient option is the e-Visa, which can be applied for entirely online without visiting an embassy.

Comfortable hotel, mix of street food and restaurants, guided tours, domestic flights between regions, and Ha Long Bay cruise. Excellent value for the quality of experience.
Vietnam is the world's second-largest coffee producer after Brazil — Vietnamese coffee culture centres on strong drip coffee with condensed milk.
Ha Long Bay's name means "descending dragon" — legend says a family of dragons spat out jewels that turned into the bay's 2,000 limestone islands.
Vietnam has 8 UNESCO World Heritage Sites including Ha Long Bay, Hoi An Ancient Town, the Imperial Citadel of Hue, and Phong Nha-Ke Bang caves.
The Cu Chi Tunnels network stretches over 250 kilometres — some sections are three levels deep with hospitals, kitchens, and weapon factories.
Pho is eaten for breakfast in Vietnam, not lunch or dinner — though tourist areas serve it all day.
Vietnam's motorbike population exceeds 65 million — that's roughly one motorbike for every 1.5 people in the country.
Son Doong Cave in Phong Nha is the world's largest cave — big enough to fit a Boeing 747 and has its own weather system and jungle inside.
The Vietnamese alphabet uses Latin script (quoc ngu) — making it one of the few Asian languages that's relatively easy for Western visitors to read.
Vietnam has 54 recognised ethnic groups, with the Kinh (Viet) majority making up about 86% of the population.
Hoi An's ancient town has been a trading port since the 15th century, with architectural influences from Chinese, Japanese, and European merchants.
The Mekong Delta produces enough rice to feed the entire country and export to 150+ nations — earning Vietnam the title of world's third-largest rice exporter.
Egg coffee was invented in Hanoi in 1946 when milk was scarce — a bartender whipped egg yolks with condensed milk as a substitute, creating a national icon.
