Vietnam is one of the best-value international holidays for Indian travellers: dramatic limestone islands in Ha Long Bay, the famous Golden Bridge in the hills above Da Nang, lantern-lit Hoi An, buzzing Ho Chi Minh City and the beaches of Phu Quoc. Here is how to plan it from Lucknow.
Vietnam's highlights
- Hanoi: the Old Quarter, Hoan Kiem Lake and water-puppet shows.
- Ha Long Bay: a UNESCO-listed bay of limestone islands, best seen on a day or overnight cruise.
- Da Nang and Hoi An: Ba Na Hills with the Golden Bridge, the Marble Mountains and the lantern-lit old town of Hoi An.
- Ho Chi Minh City: French-era landmarks, markets and the Cu Chi tunnels.
- Phu Quoc: island beaches, cable cars and sunsets — ideal for honeymooners.
Vietnam visa for Indian travellers
Indian passport holders apply for a Vietnam e-visa online, valid for up to 90 days with single or multiple entry. The official fee is US$25 for single entry, and processing usually takes about three working days, longer in peak season — apply at least 7–10 working days before travel.
Phu Quoc allows visa-free stays of up to 30 days, but only if you fly directly to the island from abroad and stay there for your whole trip. If your itinerary includes the mainland, you need the e-visa. Our visa desk handles the application.
Best time to visit
- February to April: good weather across the whole country.
- December to April: best for the south and Phu Quoc.
- September to December: central Vietnam (Da Nang, Hoi An) can see heavy rain.
