Vietnam tour packages from Kochi

Hanoi and Halong Bay are the classic start. With a week, add Da Nang and Hoi An; with nine or ten nights, go all the way to Ho Chi Minh City and the Mekong.

Yes, if you can. A day cruise gives you a few hours on the water; overnight you see the bay at sunset and early morning, when it is quiet. Our shorter trips keep a day cruise.

In the cities, yes: Buddhist vegetarian restaurants and Indian restaurants in Hanoi, Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City. Tell us and we note it with the hotels and the cruise.

No. Our prices cover the land part of the trip. We quote your flights to Vietnam from your city with the trip. Trips that visit more than one region also take short flights inside Vietnam; we quote those with the trip too.

Four or five nights is enough for Hanoi and Halong Bay, or for Da Nang and Hoi An with a few beach days on Phu Quoc, an island in the far south. Each extra region adds about two nights and a short flight. For the north, middle and south together, plan six to ten nights.

At least a month before you fly: we apply on the official e-visa portal for you. It usually comes within a few weeks. Your passport needs enough validity left, and we confirm the current rules when you apply.

The money is the Vietnamese dong (VND), used almost entirely in notes. Cards like Visa work in most hotels, restaurants and shops, and there are ATMs at the main airports and across the cities. Keep cash in small notes for street food, markets and small shops. A few US dollars make a useful back-up.

Yes. Violent crime against visitors is rare. In busy streets, hold bags in front of you or on the side away from the traffic, as bag snatching from motorbikes happens. Traffic is busy, so cross slowly and steadily and watch for scooters. Drink bottled water; our trips include it on touring days.

Yes. Local SIM cards are sold in the arrival halls of the main airports and in shops; you show your passport to register. eSIM plans are also available. Free Wi-Fi is found in many tourist areas and at major airports.

The Christmas break suits the north (Hanoi and Halong Bay are cool and clear) and the south alike. In the April–May summer break, Da Nang and Hoi An are at their best. The Onam break is still good for Da Nang and Hoi An; the north is in its monsoon then: hot, green and showery.

Our 9 Vietnam trips start at ₹35,100 per person, twin sharing (Hanoi, Ninh Binh & Halong Bay Day Cruise, 3 nights), and go up to ₹1,14,700 for Grand Vietnam with Ninh Binh & the Mekong (10 nights). Flights or trains from your city are quoted on top, for your dates. Every price is for the plan as written; we change it around your dates and quote again.
