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.

Miami, SUPER host We have done a private tour going to: HOA LU TEMPLE - MUA CAVE - TRANG AN Miami was our lovely tour guide. Her English was excellent and clear. She hosting us in the perfect possible way. We had a late arrival the day before and left us to rest during the 2,5 hour drive. Arrived, she gave us much energy to during the tour and she easily joined us with the 500 steps stairs towards a beautiful view. A big shoutout to Miami and the driver!

Perfect Ninh Binh day with Hai — Hoa Lu, Hang Mua & Trang An We did a private day tour with Hai covering Hoa Lu, Hang Mua Cave, and Trang An, and it was an excellent day. Hai was punctual, easy to talk to, and very well organized. At Hoa Lu he explained the history of the ancient capital clearly without making it feel like a lecture. At Hang Mua he paced the climb well, gave us time for photos at the viewpoint, and kept the visit comfortable. Trang An was the highlight — the boat ride through the caves and temples was beautiful, and Hai handled the timing and logistics smoothly so we didn’t feel rushed. What stood out most was how personal the day felt. Hai adjusted the schedule to us, made practical suggestions, and was patient and professional from start to finish. If you want to see Hoa Lu, Hang Mua, and Trang An in one day with a reliable private guide, we highly recommend Hai. We would book him again.

4 hour tour of Hanoi -old quarter, train street, rickshaw, mausoleum Miami was our tour guide, she was magnificent! We did a private tour with just my husband and I. She was so informative, and explained so much about the culture and history of Vietnam. It was our first visit, so we learned a lot. She answered all of our many questions, and her English was excellent! When we booked our trip she adjusted the things to see based on our interest. I would highly recommend! Thank you for a beautiful day!
