Overview

About this Vietnam trip

Vietnam runs more than 1,600 km from north to south and changes character the whole way — the old quarter of Hanoi, the limestone karsts of Ninh Binh and Ha Long Bay, lantern-lit Hoi An and the motorbike energy of Saigon. This week-long route includes an overnight Ha Long cruise with kayaking, a sampan ride through Trang An's caves, the Golden Bridge at Ba Na Hills and the Cu Chi tunnels, with internal flights to keep the distances easy.

A captivating country known for stunning natural beauty, rich history, and flavorful food.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How do Indians get a Vietnam visa?

Indian passport holders apply online for a Vietnam e-visa (single or multiple entry, up to 90 days). It usually takes 3–5 working days. We help fill the form and check your photo and passport scan.

Is vegetarian food available?

Yes. Vietnam has a Buddhist vegetarian tradition ('chay'), and Hanoi, Hoi An and Saigon all have Indian restaurants. We inform the cruise in advance about vegetarian or Jain meals.

Does the Ha Long cruise ever get cancelled?

Cruises can be suspended in typhoon warnings (mostly July to October). If that happens, we arrange a day trip or a Lan Ha Bay alternative, or refund the cruise portion.

Is this trip suitable for seniors?

Mostly yes, but the Mua Cave climb (about 500 steps) and Cu Chi tunnels are optional. Expect several early starts for flights.
