Vietnam Tour Packages

Vietnam tour package price guide (2026)

Vietnam packages on this page start at ₹21,999 per person. The land cost is among the lowest in Asia for the hotel quality you get – a good 4★ hotel in Hanoi or Da Nang costs what a 3★ costs in Singapore – and the main variables are the number of regions you cover (each adds an internal flight), the Halong Bay cruise category and whether Phu Quoc or Ba Na Hills tickets are included. Bands are per person on twin sharing, excluding international flights and e-visa, with private transfers, breakfast, internal flights where listed and the sightseeing days named.

Add for flights: Ahmedabad to Hanoi, Da Nang or Ho Chi Minh City return fares are usually ₹22,000 – 34,000 per person when booked 6–8 weeks ahead – nonstop when the direct service is operating, otherwise one stop via Bangkok, Kolkata, Delhi or Mumbai. Internal Vietnam flights (Hanoi–Da Nang about 1 h 20 min, Da Nang–HCMC 1 h 30 min) cost ₹3,000 – 6,000 each and are included where the itinerary needs them. Usually extra on the ground: the e-visa (billed at cost), Ba Na Hills cable car and park ticket unless named, Hoi An basket-boat and lantern-boat rides, Cu Chi tunnels, Vinpearl or Sun World Phu Quoc tickets, Hoa Lu – Tam Coc boat rides, tips for the cruise crew and drivers, and meals not listed.

How to reach Vietnam from Ahmedabad

• Direct from Ahmedabad: Vietnamese low-cost carriers have operated nonstop flights from Ahmedabad to Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City in recent seasons, taking about 5 h to 5 h 30 min. Schedules change by season, so we never promise a particular airline; we check what is flying on your dates and quote the direct service when it exists.
• One-stop options: via Bangkok (the most frequent connection, with Bangkok–Hanoi or Bangkok–Da Nang about 1 h 50 min), via Kolkata, Delhi or Mumbai on Indian carriers, or via Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. Total journey 8–11 hours. For Central Vietnam we often fly you directly into Da Nang via Bangkok to avoid an internal flight.
• Open-jaw tickets: for North + Central or grand Vietnam routes we fly you into Hanoi and out of Da Nang or Ho Chi Minh City so there is no backtracking – a standard practice that many online packages ignore.
• Time zone: Vietnam is 1 h 30 min ahead of India; an overnight flight lands in the morning with a full day ahead.
• Getting around: packages include private air-conditioned cars with drivers and English-speaking guides on sightseeing days. Hanoi to Halong Bay is about 2½ hours on an expressway; Hanoi to Ninh Binh about 2 hours; Da Nang to Hoi An 45 minutes; Da Nang to Hue about 2½ hours over the Hai Van pass. Grab taxis work well in all three cities for free time.

North, Central or South – choosing your Vietnam route

Most online packages hide the fact that Vietnam's three regions have different weather in the same month. This table is the decision we walk every client through.

For a first trip of 7–8 nights we usually combine North and Central (Hanoi – Halong – Da Nang – Hoi An) between February and April, when both regions are dry. For a December honeymoon we suggest Central + Phu Quoc. For a May vacation, Central Vietnam alone is the safest weather bet.

7 nights / 8 days – North + Central complete Vietnam

Two nights Hanoi, one night on a Halong Bay cruise, one night back in Hanoi or Ninh Binh, then a morning flight to Da Nang for three nights covering Ba Na Hills, Hoi An and a free beach day, flying home from Da Nang. With nine nights we add Hue (citadel, royal tombs, the Hai Van pass drive) or Sapa in the north. This is the route we recommend for extended families and friend groups who want the full picture; they travel together as a private group on their own dates with their own vehicle and guide.

Senior citizens

Vietnam works for fit seniors with some adjustments: we choose a Halong cruise with cabins on the lower deck and skip the kayaking, use the Ba Na Hills cable car (no climbing) but avoid the park rides, replace the Ninh Binh day with a Hanoi rest day if needed, and book hotels with lifts in the Old Quarter where many budget hotels do not have them. Hoi An's old town is flat and pedestrian-only – ideal for an evening stroll.

Vietnam e-visa for Indians, Halong cruise tiers and how Vietnam compares

Vietnam e-visa – step by step

• Who needs it: all Indian passport holders. Vietnam's e-visa for Indians allows stays of up to 90 days with single or multiple entry, which is more than any Southeast Asian neighbour.
• Documents: a passport valid six months with a clear colour scan of the data page, a passport-size photo on white background, your entry date, port of entry (Hanoi, Da Nang or Ho Chi Minh City airport – it must match your ticket) and a hotel address, which comes from your package.
• Timeline: the official processing time is three working days, but we recommend applying two to three weeks before travel, because the system can be slow in peak season and corrections are not possible once submitted. We prepare and submit the application for you; approval is at the discretion of the Vietnamese immigration department.
• Cost: the official fee is modest – roughly ₹2,200 – 2,600 for single entry at recent exchange rates – and we bill it at cost. Beware of look-alike websites charging five times more.
• On arrival: carry a printed copy of the e-visa approval and your return ticket; immigration is usually 20–40 minutes. Checking the spelling of your name against the passport before submission is the single most important step – a mismatch means a new application.

Halong Bay cruise – what the categories mean

• Day cruise (6–8 hours): the cheapest option; fine for seniors or very tight schedules, but you miss the sunset and sunrise, which are the point.
• Overnight 3★ cruise: a wooden junk or small steel boat, 15–25 cabins, en-suite rooms with a window, kayaking and a cave visit included; about ₹7,000 – 10,000 per person including meals.
• Overnight 4★–5★ cruise: larger steel ships with balcony cabins, a sundeck pool or jacuzzi, better food and a less crowded route in Lan Ha Bay; about ₹12,000 – 22,000 per person. This is what we book for honeymooners.
• Food on board: cruises serve set menus; pure-vegetarian menus are arranged when we book, and a Jain menu is possible on most 4★–5★ boats with notice. Our packages state the vegetarian arrangement in writing.

Vietnam vs Thailand vs Bali – a quick comparison

Best time to visit Vietnam – month by month

For Ahmedabad families the practical summary is: Diwali (usually October or November) – go North; Christmas – go Central + South; May vacation – go Central. We never send a Diwali trip to Hoi An without saying so first.

Places to visit in Vietnam

• Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay: 1,600 limestone islands and an overnight cruise – the image of Vietnam, and the night every traveller remembers.
• Hanoi: the Old Quarter, Hoan Kiem lake, Train Street cafés, the Temple of Literature, water-puppet theatre and the best Indian restaurants in the north.
• Ninh Binh (Tam Coc, Trang An): "Halong Bay on land" – a rowing-boat ride between karst cliffs and rice fields; the Mua Cave viewpoint is a 500-step climb.
• Sapa: terraced rice fields and hill-tribe villages in the far north, with the Fansipan cable car to Indochina's highest peak; add two nights from Hanoi.
• Da Nang: My Khe beach, the Dragon Bridge (fire show on weekend nights), Marble Mountains and Lady Buddha at Son Tra.
• Ba Na Hills: the Golden Bridge held by two giant stone hands, a French hill village and a theme park, reached by one of the world's longest cable cars.
• Hoi An: a UNESCO old town of lantern-lit streets, the Japanese Covered Bridge, tailors, the Thu Bon river boats and the coconut-forest basket boats.
• Hue: the Imperial Citadel, royal tombs and the Perfume River, reached from Da Nang over the Hai Van pass.
• Ho Chi Minh City: Notre-Dame cathedral and the Central Post Office, Ben Thanh market, the War Remnants Museum, Bui Vien walking street and rooftop bars.
• Cu Chi tunnels and the Mekong Delta: wartime tunnels an hour from the city and a day of boats, floating markets and fruit orchards in the delta.
• Phu Quoc: Long Beach and Sao Beach, the Hon Thom over-sea cable car, Sunset Town and the Kiss Bridge show, VinWonders and the night market – Vietnam's honeymoon island.
• Da Lat and Nha Trang: a cool hill town of flowers and waterfalls, and a lively beach city with Vinpearl island – second-visit additions in the south.

Food, hotels and tips for Gujarati travellers

• Pure-veg and Jain food – the honest picture: Hanoi's Old Quarter has eight to ten Indian restaurants, several run by Indian owners, serving thali, North Indian and South Indian food; Da Nang has a similar cluster near My Khe beach, Hoi An has two or three, and Ho Chi Minh City's District 1 has more than a dozen. Phu Quoc, Ninh Binh and Sapa have one or two at most, so we pre-arrange vegetarian meals with the hotel. Vietnamese cuisine has a strong Buddhist vegetarian tradition – look for "chay" (vegetarian) restaurants, which exist in every town, serving tofu, mushroom and vegetable dishes, vegetarian pho and spring rolls. Jain food (no onion, garlic or root vegetables) is realistic only at Indian restaurants and hotels with notice; we tell Jain travellers plainly which days will rely on hotel-cooked meals and carry-along snacks, and we confirm every arranged meal in writing.
• Hotel categories: Vietnam's 4★ hotels are exceptional value – a modern room with breakfast for ₹3,500 – 6,000 a night in Hanoi or Da Nang. In Hanoi stay in or beside the Old Quarter; in Da Nang choose the My Khe beachfront; in Hoi An a boutique hotel within walking distance of the old town; in Phu Quoc a resort on Long Beach or Ong Lang for sunsets.
• Money: the Vietnamese dong has many zeros – ₹1 is roughly 290–310 dong in recent years, so ₹1,000 is about 300,000 VND. Carry a forex card and withdraw dong from bank ATMs; small shops, markets and boat rides are cash-only. US dollars are accepted at some hotels. Count zeros carefully on notes – the 20,000 and 500,000 notes look similar.
• Pack: a jacket for Hanoi and Sapa from December to February, a rain jacket in any month, comfortable shoes (Hoi An and the Old Quarter are walked), swimwear, insect repellent for the Mekong and Ninh Binh, and a scarf for temples and the mausoleum (knees and shoulders covered).
• Traffic and safety: Vietnam is very safe for tourists; the real hazard is crossing roads full of scooters – walk steadily and predictably, and the traffic flows around you. Keep phones and bags away from the road edge in Ho Chi Minh City. Do not drink tap water.
• Timings: the Ho Chi Minh mausoleum opens mornings only and is closed on Mondays and Fridays; Halong cruises board around noon and dock around 11 am the next day; Ba Na Hills needs a full day and the Golden Bridge is least crowded before 9 am; Hoi An's lanterns are lit from dusk and the old town is car-free in the evening.
• Connectivity: a Vietnamese tourist SIM with generous data costs about ₹400 – 700 at the airport; WiFi is free and fast almost everywhere.
