Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Here are direct answers to the most common questions Keralites have when planning a trip to Vietnam.
Flying from Kerala to Vietnam is manageable, but do not assume a nonstop Kochi–Ho Chi Minh City service is operating. Current September 2026 public schedules do not show a published COK–SGN nonstop, so compare the live one-stop options from Kochi, Trivandrum, or Calicut for your exact dates:
  • IndiGo & VietJet Air (via Bangkok)
  • Malindo Air & AirAsia (via Kuala Lumpur)
  • Singapore Airlines (via Singapore)
With a layover, total travel time is typically between 7 to 12 hours. Booking 2-3 months in advance is advised to secure the best fares.
Yes. Indian passport holders need a valid Vietnam visa for most trips. For ordinary tourism, the Vietnam eVisa is usually the simplest route and should be applied for through the official government portal before travel.
  • Validity: An eVisa may be issued for up to 90 days.
  • Entry type: Single or multiple entry, depending on the approved eVisa.
  • Fee and documents: Use the current requirements and fee shown on the official government portal.
Check the exact validity dates and permitted number of entries printed on the approved eVisa before departure.
The best time to travel depends on which parts of Vietnam you plan to visit, as the country has diverse regional climates.
  • North Vietnam (Hanoi, Ha Long Bay): October to April offers cool, dry weather, perfect for sightseeing and cruising.
  • Central Vietnam (Da Nang, Hoi An): February to July is ideal, with pleasant temperatures and sunny skies for beach activities.
  • South Vietnam (Ho Chi Minh City, Mekong Delta): The dry season from December to April provides warm and comfortable conditions for exploration.
READ MORE: Central & South Vietnam 5D4N with Beach holiday in Phu QuocFor an overall trip covering all three regions, the period from December to March offers the most pleasant weather across the country.
Vietnam’s transport network is efficient and affordable. Here are the best options:
  • Domestic Flights: The fastest way to travel long distances (e.g., from Hanoi to HCMC).
  • Trains: A scenic way to travel, especially the overnight route between Hanoi and Da Nang.
  • Buses: A budget-friendly choice for shorter intercity journeys.
  • Ride-Sharing Apps: Grab (Vietnam’s Uber) is the most reliable and convenient option for city travel.
Yes, finding familiar food is quite easy. While you should explore the local Vietnamese cuisine, major cities have numerous Indian restaurants catering to the tastes of travellers from Kerala. Many offer South Indian dishes.
  • In Hanoi: Namaste Hanoi, Dalcheeni
  • In Ho Chi Minh City: Baba’s Kitchen, Benaras Indian Restaurant
  • In Da Nang: Family Indian Restaurant, Mumtaz Indian Restaurant
While specific Kerala-style food might be uncommon, the package tours offered by VietnamStory often include meals at certified Indian restaurants to ensure a comfortable dining experience.
Travellers from Kerala often appreciate destinations rich in natural beauty and culture. The top recommended places are:
  • Hanoi: For its historic temples, French colonial architecture, and vibrant Old Quarter.
  • Ha Long Bay: For its stunning limestone karsts and serene overnight cruises.
  • Hoi An: For its charming, lantern-lit ancient town and peaceful atmosphere.
  • Ho Chi Minh City: For its bustling energy and significant historical sites.
  • Ninh Binh: A must-visit for nature lovers, often called “Ha Long Bay on land” for its riverine landscapes.
Vietnam is a paradise for budget-friendly shopping. Key spots include:
  • Ben Thanh Market (Ho Chi Minh City): Excellent for handicrafts, souvenirs, and local snacks.
  • Hanoi Old Quarter: The best place for authentic silk products, ceramics, and lacquerware.
  • Hoi An: World-famous for its tailors who can create high-quality custom-made tailored suits & dresses in 24-48 hours.
Don’t forget to buy aromatic Vietnamese coffee. Bargaining is expected in markets, an experience similar to shopping on Jew Street in Kochi.
Vietnam is remarkably affordable, with daily expenses often being cheaper than Kerala. A well-planned 7-day trip typically costs between ₹50,000 and ₹80,000 per person. To put it in perspective:
  • Budget Meals: ₹200–₹500 per person.
  • Mid-range Hotels: ₹2,000–₹5,000 per night.
  • Street Food: A delicious dish can cost as little as ₹100–₹250.
Unlike Kerala’s consistent tropical climate, Vietnam has three distinct climates:
  • North Vietnam: Experiences four seasons with cool winters (similar to Ooty) and hot summers.
  • Central Vietnam: Mostly warm and dry, making it ideal for beach holidays.
  • South Vietnam: Has a hot and humid climate year-round, very similar to Kerala’s summer.
It is essential to pack for the specific regions included in your tour.
Packing smart is crucial for a comfortable trip. Here is a checklist of essentials:
  • ✅ Light cotton clothes suitable for humid weather.
  • ✅ Comfortable walking shoes for sightseeing.
  • ✅ A raincoat or umbrella, especially if travelling during the monsoon months.
  • ✅ A universal travel adapter (Vietnam uses plug types A, C, and D).
  • ✅ A basic first-aid kit with any personal medications.
  • ✅ Ready-to-eat meals or spices if you have specific dietary preferences.
Downloading an offline translation app is also a good idea for communicating in more rural areas.

Exploring Hanoi Booked 2, 2 day private tours and money was well spent. Private tours means you can where possible avoid crowds and gain entry and exit quicker. Hai and Lun who we had for both days were professional and very prompt. They also could read when our energy was getting low and adapted the tour to our needs. Also understood when to chat and not as we spent a few hours travel time in car. If you’re wanting to explore Hanoi and the outer areas of Hanoi spend the extra money and book through this company. Viator and other sites are good for quick trips but for longer trips use Indochina group who are very professional

An Unforgettable 16-Day Vietnam Tour . An Unforgettable 16-Day Vietnam Tour – Excellent Service by Mrs. Ivy We recently completed a wonderful 16-day tour of Vietnam in April 2026, arranged through Indochina Travel Group, Hanoi, and the entire experience was truly amazing from beginning to end. A special word of appreciation goes to Mrs. Ivy, our tour operator, whose professionalism, dedication, and warm personality made our journey comfortable and memorable. From our arrival at Hanoi Airport to our departure from Ho Chi Minh City Airport, everything was exceptionally well organized. The arrangements for our AC transportation, sightseeing, scenic journeys, and excellent hotels at different destinations across Vietnam were superb. We were able to explore the beautiful landscapes and attractions of Vietnam comfortably, without having to worry about the arrangements. Whenever we faced even a minor issue during the tour, Mrs. Ivy was always available and took immediate action to resolve it. Her prompt response, personal attention, and commitment to ensuring our comfort were truly impressive. I would especially like to appreciate her dynamic personality, professionalism, and excellent customer service. We feel fortunate to have had such a dedicated and caring tour operator looking after us throughout our Vietnam journey. Mrs. Ivy is certainly an asset to Indochina Travel Group. I sincerely wish her continued success and a bright future with the organization. A heartfelt THANK YOU, Mrs. Ivy, for making our Vietnam holiday such a wonderful and unforgettable experience. 🇻🇳❤️ Highly appreciated and warmly recommended.

An Excellent Guide and a Memorable Day We had the great pleasure of having Hai Nguyen as our guide on today’s Bai Dinh Pagoda–Trang An tour, organised by Indochina Travel Group, and he truly made the day special. Hai was a wonderful representative of the friendly and welcoming Vietnamese culture. From the very beginning, he was warm, friendly and professional, and he always took the time to accommodate our wishes and make sure we were comfortable. He is very knowledgeable, not only about the places we visited, but also about Vietnamese history, culture and many other subjects. We really enjoyed our conversations with him and appreciated the way he shared his knowledge in such an engaging and personal way. It was a pleasure spending the day with Hai, and he certainly contributed to making our visit to Bai Dinh and Trang An a memorable experience. We would happily recommend him to anyone visiting Vietnam, and we would be delighted to have him as our guide again.
