Do Indian travellers need a visa for Vietnam?

Yes. Indian passport holders can apply for an e-visa online before travel. Check the latest rules and processing time before you book.

How many days do I need?

Seven days covers Hanoi, Ha Long Bay, Ninh Binh and Da Nang comfortably. Five works if you skip Ninh Binh, and nine adds Hoi An and Ho Chi Minh City.

Is Vietnam good value?

Yes. Street food, local transport and boutique stays cost a fraction of most destinations, while private cruises and guides are a worthwhile upgrade.

What is the best time to visit?

November to March is cool and comfortable in the north. April to August is best on the central coast. Every season has something beautiful.

Is it easy to get around?

Yes. Domestic flights link the main cities, and we arrange private transfers, so you never need to haggle with taxis.

What is the flight time from India?

Direct flights from Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru to Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City take around four to six hours.
