Planning a Vietnam trip from India: the essentials

Getting to Vietnam from India has never been easier. Indian and Vietnamese airlines now fly nonstop from Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Ahmedabad, and the journey takes around four to five hours. Here is what to know before you book, checked in October 2026.

Vietnam tour from Mumbai

From 25 October 2026, IndiGo flies daily from Mumbai (BOM) to Hanoi. Flight 6E 1637 leaves at 04:15 and lands in Hanoi at 10:00 local time. The return, 6E 1638, leaves Hanoi at 19:05 and reaches Mumbai at 23:05. Vietnam Airlines also has long-standing nonstop routes between Mumbai and Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Vietjet has launched routes from Mumbai to Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang and Phu Quoc, subject to current schedules.

Our tip: the early IndiGo departure lands you in Hanoi in time for lunch, so you lose almost no holiday time. We keep the first afternoon light – check in, rest, then an evening stroll around Hoan Kiem Lake.

Vietnam tour from Delhi

IndiGo has flown daily from Delhi (DEL) to Hanoi since 20 December 2025. Flight 6E 1633 leaves at 07:25 and arrives at 13:00 local time, around four hours in the air. Vietnam Airlines and Vietjet also fly between Delhi and Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Vietjet's Delhi–Da Nang and Delhi–Phu Quoc routes are worth asking about, subject to current schedules.

Our tip: book an open-jaw ticket – into Hanoi, home from Ho Chi Minh City – and use a domestic flight in between to Da Nang for Hoi An and the Golden Bridge at Ba Na Hills. It saves a full day of backtracking.

Vietnam tour from Bengaluru

Vietnam Airlines flies nonstop from Bengaluru (BLR) to Hanoi, four times a week since May 2025. Vietjet flies Bengaluru to Ho Chi Minh City. From Hyderabad, Vietnam Airlines flies to Hanoi and Vietjet to Ho Chi Minh City. Frequencies change by season, so check the current days of operation before you fix your dates.

Our tip: with Hanoi in the north and Ho Chi Minh City in the south, you can fly into one and out of the other. If your flight days are limited, tell us which days you have and we will build the route around them.

Vietnam tour from Kolkata

IndiGo has flown from Kolkata (CCU) to Hanoi and to Ho Chi Minh City since 2019, its longest-running Vietnam routes. The flight to Ho Chi Minh City takes about 4 hours 15 minutes. We did not find Vietnam Airlines or Vietjet nonstops from Kolkata, so IndiGo is the direct option.

Our tip: Kolkata's Puja holidays (Durga Puja ended on 21 October in 2026) fall just as northern Vietnam turns dry and pleasant. It is an excellent time for Hanoi, Ha Long Bay and Ninh Binh.

From Ahmedabad, Vietnam Airlines starts nonstop flights to Hanoi on 3 November 2026, four times a week. Vietjet has also launched Ahmedabad routes to Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.

When to go from India

October to April is Vietnam's most comfortable season for a full north-to-south trip. It also lines up well with India's festival and wedding season. Our month-by-month guide has the details.

• Diwali: Sunday 8 November 2026 and Friday 29 October 2027. Northern Vietnam is dry and comfortable, and the south is coming out of its rainy season. Flights and hotels fill fast around Diwali, so book early.
• Wedding season (roughly November–February): a lovely time for a honeymoon in Hoi An, on a Ha Long Bay cruise or on Phu Quoc, where it is dry and warm. Hanoi is cool in December and January, so pack a light jacket.
• Christmas and New Year: warm, dry weather in the south and on the islands.
• Summer holidays (roughly mid-May to June in North India; dates vary by state and board): central Vietnam around Da Nang, Hoi An and Hue is sunny. The north is hot and green, with tropical showers.

Diwali 2026 is listed in the DoPT holiday list for 2026. Your child's school calendar will have the exact break dates.

Visa, money and practical details for Indian travellers

Visa. Indian passport holders need a visa for Vietnam. The official e-visa is open to all nationalities, is valid for up to 90 days with single or multiple entry, and costs US$25 (single) or US$50 (multiple) in government fees. Apply only at evisa.gov.vn, because lookalike websites add their own charges. Your passport should be valid for at least six months from arrival, with blank pages. A trip to Phu Quoc island alone is visa-free for up to 30 days. Read our e-visa guide for the steps.

Money. Vietnam uses the dong; check xe.com for today's rupee rate. Many travellers carry some US dollars and an international card. Visa and Mastercard are widely accepted at 4–5★ hotels and better restaurants, but carry dong for markets and tips.

Power. Vietnam runs at 220 V, 50 Hz, close to India's 230 V. Round two-pin Type C plugs fit, but the larger three-pin Type D and M plugs do not, so pack a universal adapter.

Time. Vietnam is 1 hour 30 minutes ahead of IST, and neither country changes its clocks.

Ho Chi Minh City airports. The new Long Thanh International Airport (LTH) is expected to take international flights from 2027. Check which Ho Chi Minh City airport is on your ticket: Tan Son Nhat (SGN) or Long Thanh (LTH).

Vegetarian, Jain and Indian meals

Vietnamese food is fresh and full of herbs, and there is a long tradition of Buddhist vegetarian cooking. Tell us your needs when you book – vegetarian, Jain (no onion, garlic or root vegetables), eggless, or Indian meals – and we brief your hotels, cruise and restaurants in advance. We also suggest Indian restaurants on the way for families who like a familiar dinner after a day of sightseeing.

How Indian travellers like to see Vietnam

In our experience as trip planners, families, honeymooners and groups of friends from India want the highlights – the Golden Bridge at Ba Na Hills, a Ha Long Bay cruise and a beach on Phu Quoc – along with shopping and photo stops. With direct flights now this short, it is worth adding a few extra days for a slower pace. Vietnam's culture will also feel familiar in places: the Hindu-influenced Cham towers of My Son and Po Nagar, and Buddhist pagodas in every city.

• Best of Vietnam – 10 or 14 days, from US$996 or US$1,455 per person (based on 3–4 adults; domestic flights quoted separately). Hanoi, Ha Long Bay, Hoi An and Ho Chi Minh City – the classic first trip.
• Ha Long Bay Cruise – 3 days, from US$835 per person. Two nights among the limestone islands, with vegetarian menus on request.
• Vietnam–Cambodia cruise on the Mekong, from US$1,687 per person. A slow river journey that links Vietnam with Cambodia.
• For honeymooners combining two countries: Thailand Romantic Wellness – 10 days, from US$2,794 per person.
