Why is Vietnam the hottest destination for Indians right now?
Vietnam pairs Thailand-level prices with scenery Thailand can't match — Ha Long Bay's limestone islands, the Golden Bridge at Ba Na Hills, lantern-lit Hoi An — plus a painless USD 25 e-visa valid 90 days. A 5-night trip from Kolkata lands around ₹45,000–₹70,000 per person, and on-ground costs run 20–30% below Thailand.
Classic 5-night itinerary — Hanoi · Ha Long · Da Nang
- Hanoi arrival — Old Quarter walk, egg coffee, water-puppet show.
- Ha Long Bay — overnight cruise among 1,600 limestone karsts; kayaking & cave visit.
- Cruise morning → fly to Da Nang — sunset at My Khe beach.
- Ba Na Hills — cable car (world's longest), Golden Bridge held by giant stone hands, French village.
- Hoi An — ancient town, tailor shops, lantern boat ride on the Thu Bon river.
- Departure — fly out of Da Nang (DAD).
Beach-first travellers can swap Hanoi/Ha Long for Phu Quoc island — direct-ish connections and Maldives-style resorts at a third of the price.

Frequently asked questions
Is Vietnam cheaper than Thailand?
On the ground, yes — meals, taxis and tours run 20–30% cheaper. Flights from Kolkata cost more (one-stop vs direct), so short trips even out; 7+ night trips clearly favour Vietnam.
Which is better — north or south Vietnam?
First trip: the classic north-centre combo (Hanoi, Ha Long, Da Nang, Hoi An). Beach holidays: Phu Quoc in the far south. Ho Chi Minh City + Mekong Delta suits city-and-history travellers.
Is Indian food available?
Yes in Hanoi, Da Nang and HCMC tourist areas — plus Vietnamese food is rice-and-fresh-herb based and vegetarian-friendly at food courts. Carry snacks for cruise days.
How much cash should I carry?
Vietnam is card-friendly in cities but markets run on cash (VND). ₹1 ≈ 300 VND — the zeroes take a day to get used to.
