A 7-day Vietnam trip from Delhi costs roughly INR 72,000 to INR 1.5 lakh per person, or about INR 1.4 lakh to INR 3 lakh for a couple, including return flights, the e-visa, mid-range hotels, a Ha Long Bay cruise and sightseeing. Non-stop flights reach Hanoi in about four and a half hours, and Indians apply for an e-visa online before they fly. If you would rather book a ready-made Vietnam tour package from Delhi, our 6-night Glimpse Of Vietnam tour is listed from INR 33,839 per person*.

Vietnam Trip Cost from Delhi: Per Person and Per Couple

This table is for 6 nights and 7 days on the classic Hanoi – Ha Long Bay – Da Nang – Hoi An route, with mid-range hotels on twin sharing. Local prices are converted at about 271 Vietnamese dong to INR 1 and about INR 95 to USD 1, so treat every figure as approximate.

Cost item (6 nights / 7 days)	Per person (approx.)	Per couple (approx.)
Return economy flights, Delhi – Hanoi / Ho Chi Minh City	INR 30,000 – INR 45,000	INR 60,000 – INR 90,000
Vietnam e-visa, single entry (USD 25)	INR 2,400	INR 4,800
Domestic flights, 2 sectors	INR 6,000 – INR 20,000	INR 12,000 – INR 40,000
Hotels, 5 nights mid-range (INR 2,600 – INR 5,500 per room per night)	INR 6,500 – INR 14,000	INR 13,000 – INR 27,500
Ha Long Bay overnight cruise, 3–4 star	INR 8,500 – INR 32,000	INR 17,000 – INR 64,000
Sightseeing tickets (Ba Na Hills, Hoi An, My Son, Ninh Binh)	INR 5,000 – INR 8,000	INR 10,000 – INR 16,000
Food for 7 days, vegetarian-friendly	INR 9,000 – INR 18,000	INR 18,000 – INR 36,000

Travel insurance, SIM card, tips	INR 2,000 – INR 4,000	INR 4,000 – INR 8,000
Total	INR 72,000 – INR 1,50,000	INR 1,43,000 – INR 2,95,000

Airfare, the class of Ha Long Bay boat and your hotels move the total the most. Swap the overnight cruise for a day cruise from Hanoi, at about USD 58 – 105 per person (approx. INR 5,500 – INR 10,000), and the overall Vietnam trip cost drops noticeably.

Flights from Delhi and the Vietnam E-Visa

Flight time and fares

Non-stop flights link Delhi with Hanoi (about 4 hours 15 to 30 minutes) and Ho Chi Minh City (about 5 hours 15 to 45 minutes). Vietnam Airlines, VietJet, Air India and IndiGo have all flown non-stop to Hanoi, though schedules change by season. Vietnam Airlines' website has shown round-trip economy fares from about INR 30,000 – INR 33,000 for November and February dates; expect more over Christmas, New Year and school holidays. Vietnam is 1 hour 30 minutes ahead of India.

Consider an open-jaw ticket: fly into Hanoi and home from Ho Chi Minh City, or the other way round, so you never backtrack.

Vietnam e-visa for Indians

Indian passport holders need a visa for mainland Vietnam, and most use the e-visa. Apply only on the official portal, evisa.gov.vn; the Embassy of Vietnam in New Delhi warns that other websites are not valid.

• Fee: USD 25 for single entry (approx. INR 2,400) or USD 50 for multiple entry (approx. INR 4,750).
• Validity: up to 90 days.
• Processing: often around three working days, longer in busy periods, so apply two to three weeks before you fly.
• Passport: at least six months' validity from your arrival date, plus a photo and a scan of the data page.

The Phu Quoc visa-free rule

Phu Quoc island allows foreigners, including Indians, to stay up to 30 days without a visa if they fly in directly from abroad and stay on the island. In April 2026, though, the Embassy of India in Hanoi advised Indians to get a proper Vietnam visa even for Phu Quoc-only trips, in case a medical emergency or flight disruption forces a trip to the mainland. We suggest following that advice.

Dewan Holidays helps with visitor-visa documentation and the application; the final decision is always made by Vietnam's immigration authorities. This is general travel information, not legal or immigration advice. See our Vietnam visa assistance page for help.

7-Day Vietnam Itinerary, Days 1–3: Hanoi, Ninh Binh and Ha Long Bay

Day 1: Arrive in Hanoi

Check in and rest, then walk around Hoan Kiem Lake and the Old Quarter in the evening. A water puppet show makes an easy first-night outing, especially with children.

Day 2: Ninh Binh day trip

Drive about two hours south to Ninh Binh for a rowing-boat ride through the caves and rice fields of Trang An. It is a full day, so keep the evening free.

Day 3: Ha Long Bay overnight cruise

The transfer from Hanoi takes about 2.5 to 3 hours. Most overnight boats include a cave visit and kayaking or a bamboo-boat ride. Ask for vegetarian or Jain meals when you book, so the kitchen can plan for it.

Days 4–7: Da Nang, Ba Na Hills and Hoi An

Day 4: Back to Hanoi, fly to Da Nang

Overnight cruises usually end around midday. Drive back towards Hanoi for an evening flight to Da Nang (about 1 hour 20 minutes). One-way fares range from about 770,000 to 2,680,000 dong (approx. INR 2,800 – INR 9,900), so book early.

Day 5: Ba Na Hills and Marble Mountains

Spend the day at Sun World Ba Na Hills for the long cable car and the Golden Bridge held up by two giant stone hands. The non-resident adult ticket is listed at 1,000,000 dong (approx. INR 3,700). Arrive early on a weekday to avoid the worst queues, and stop at the Marble Mountains (40,000 dong, about INR 150) on the way back.

Day 6: Hoi An Ancient Town and My Son

See the ruins of My Son Sanctuary in the morning (150,000 dong, approx. INR 550), then head to Hoi An. The Ancient Town ticket for international visitors is 120,000 dong (approx. INR 440). Stay until dark, when the lanterns come on along the river.

Day 7: Fly home

Fly from Da Nang to Delhi with a connection through Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City.

Prefer the south? Add Ho Chi Minh City and Phu Quoc

Central Vietnam can stay rainy until January. For a December or early January holiday, consider three nights in Hanoi and Ha Long Bay, then fly south to Ho Chi Minh City and the beaches of Phu Quoc.

Choosing a Vietnam Tour Package from Delhi

Doing it yourself means booking hotels, a cruise, transfers and domestic flights separately. A Vietnam package from Delhi bundles much of that into one booking. Here are some of our Vietnam tour packages; each tour page shows the route, inclusions and dates.

• Glimpse Of Vietnam: 6 nights, private tour, from INR 33,839 per person*. Close in length to the plan above.
• Vietnam Heartland: 4 nights, private tour, from INR 31,908 per person*. Good for a shorter break.
• Best Of Vietnam: 7 nights, group tour on fixed departure dates, from INR 81,000 per person*.
• Phu Quoc Island Escape: 3 nights, private tour, from INR 32,967 per person*. A beach add-on or quick island break.

Unless the tour page says otherwise, budget separately for flights from Delhi. Travelling with children or parents? See our family tour packages, or ask us to set a private Vietnam trip at a slower pace.

Best Time to Visit and Tips for Indian Travellers

Best time to visit Vietnam, by region

• North (Hanoi, Ha Long Bay): October to April. December to February is cool in Hanoi, roughly 10–20°C, so pack a light jacket. Ha Long Bay is calmest from November to March.
• Central (Da Nang, Hoi An): February to May. Typhoon risk runs from September to November, peaking in October, and Hoi An often floods in October and November.
• South (Ho Chi Minh City, Phu Quoc): November to April is the dry season; Phu Quoc is at its best from November to March.

For the north-to-central route, February to April works best. For a Christmas break, pair the north with the south instead.

Vegetarian food in Vietnam

The key word is chay (vegetarian). Fish sauce goes into almost everything. Pho chay is the vegetable-broth noodle soup. Search "quan chay" or "com chay" on Google Maps, and use the Indian restaurants in Hanoi, Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City, including pure-vegetarian ones, when you want dal-chawal.

Money, SIM cards and getting around

At about 271 dong to INR 1, a 100,000-dong note is worth roughly INR 370. Carry some cash for street stalls, buy a local SIM or eSIM on arrival, and use the Grab app for cars and bikes in Hanoi, Da Nang, Hoi An and Ho Chi Minh City.

Vietnam Trip FAQs

How much does a 7-day Vietnam trip from Delhi cost?

Roughly INR 72,000 to INR 1.5 lakh per person, including return flights. A couple should plan for about INR 1.4 lakh to INR 3 lakh, depending mostly on airfare, cruise class and hotels.

Is there a direct flight from Delhi to Vietnam?

Yes, non-stop flights run from Delhi to Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. They take about 4.5 and 5.5 hours respectively.

Do Indians need a visa for Vietnam?

Yes, Indians need a visa for mainland Vietnam, usually an e-visa applied for online. It costs USD 25 for single entry or USD 50 for multiple entry. Phu Quoc allows 30 days visa-free for direct arrivals, but India's embassy in Hanoi recommends a visa anyway.

How many days are enough for Vietnam?

Six to seven days covers Hanoi, Ha Long Bay, Da Nang and Hoi An. Add three or four days for Ho Chi Minh City and Phu Quoc.

Yes, with some planning. Ask for "chay" food without fish sauce, choose vegetarian restaurants, and fall back on Indian restaurants in the big cities.

Which is the best month to visit Vietnam from India?

February to April suits the classic north-to-central route. November to March is good for the north and south, while central Vietnam is often wet from September to January.

Are Vietnam family tour packages a good idea with kids?

Yes, if you keep the pace gentle. Use two or three bases rather than four, and plan around child-friendly days such as the Ha Long cruise, Ba Na Hills and a water puppet show.
