Vietnam is a favourite international destination for Indian travellers: short flights, friendly people, great street food, and budget-friendly prices. This Vietnam tour package for Indians is a smart 5-day plan for the north — the buzzing streets of Hanoi, an overnight cruise on the famous Ha Long Bay, and the limestone landscapes of Ninh Binh. Below: the day-wise itinerary, indicative costs, e-visa process, and booking tips.
Why This Vietnam Tour Package for Indians Works So Well
Five days is ideal for a first Vietnam trip: the most famous sights without rushing, yet short enough to keep costs in control. Northern Vietnam packs huge variety into a small area — Old Quarter lanes, colonial buildings, emerald bays, and limestone rice paddies. Hotels welcome Indian guests, vegetarian food is easy to find, and travellers who enjoyed our Thailand Bangkok Pattaya 5-day package will find Vietnam fresh yet familiar.
Vietnam E-Visa for Indians: Simple Online Process
Indians apply online for a Vietnam e-visa at the official portal evisa.gov.vn — no embassy visit needed in most cases. It is generally issued for up to 90 days, single or multiple entry, at a small official USD fee — confirm the current rules and fee on evisa.gov.vn before applying. Processing usually takes a few working days, so apply one to two weeks before departure and carry a printed approval letter. Our visa document file preparation guide has a paperwork checklist that suits almost any visa.

Best Time to Visit North Vietnam
- October to April generally suits Hanoi and Ha Long Bay best — cooler, drier days. Weather varies year to year, so treat this as a guideline.
- Cruises are best on clear days; heavy monsoon weather can change routes, so stay flexible.
- Pack light rainwear even in the good season, plus a light jacket for December–February Hanoi evenings.
Booking Tips for Indian Travellers
- Book the Ha Long Bay cruise early with a licensed operator — good cruises sell out in peak months.
- The local currency is the Vietnamese Dong (VND) — roughly 1 INR ≈ 350 VND, but rates fluctuate. Carry some USD cash, exchange at banks or authorised counters; cards work in most hotels and restaurants.
- Delhi and Mumbai connect directly to Hanoi via Vietnamese and Indian carriers — check airline websites, as routes change by season.
- Keep a buffer at Hanoi immigration; e-visa queues can be slow at peak hours.
