Vietnam has quickly become a favourite with Indian travellers – a short direct flight, great value and huge variety in one trip. Cruise among the limestone islands of Halong Bay, walk the Golden Bridge at Ba Na Hills, explore the lantern-lit old town of Hoi An, and end in buzzing Ho Chi Minh City with the Cu Chi tunnels and the Mekong Delta.
Most travellers spend 6 to 9 nights, flying between Hanoi, Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City, while Phu Quoc is perfect for a beach add-on or a short island break. Vegetarian and Indian food is available in all the main cities, and every Trip Inventor package can be tailored – add a luxury Halong cruise, upgrade hotels or include flights from your city.
