What it costs
We have not published a price for this route. Most of the cost is flights, which depend on the Indian city you fly from and your dates, and the rest depends on the hotel category you choose. A figure without those three would be one you could not plan around, so the desk quotes it.

Do Indian passport holders need a visa for Vietnam?
Yes. E-visa, granted online before you board, for stays of up to 90 days. Our visa rules were last checked on 30 August 2026, and entry policy changes, so the desk re-confirms it before you book.
How many days do you need for a Vietnam trip?
Our route is 9 days and 8 nights, covering Hanoi, Da Nang & Phu Quoc. That is enough for a first trip that sees the north, the central coast and an island without rushing.
When is the best time to visit Vietnam from India?
March and April. This route crosses all three of Vietnam's climate zones and their good windows barely overlap: the north is at its best March to May, the central coast is dry February to August, and Phu Quoc's dry season runs December to April. March and April are the only months inside all three. Avoid October and November, the peak of the typhoon and flood season on the central coast that days 4 and 5 are spent on.
How long is the flight from India to Vietnam?
About 4 hours non-stop, Delhi to Hanoi. Between about 4h 15m and 5h non-stop, Mumbai to Hanoi. The spread is the gap between different carriers' published schedules, so the desk confirms the timing for your dates when it quotes. Travelasan has not published flight times from other Indian cities, so the desk confirms yours when it quotes.
