Vietnam Trip from Chennai: Overview
There is a quicker trick most Chennai travellers don't know about. Take an evening flight to Bengaluru, then board a non-stop red-eye. VietJet leaves at 23:35 for Ho Chi Minh City four nights a week, and Vietnam Airlines leaves at 23:40 for Hanoi on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. Both land before 6 am. Every package below is built around whichever route suits your dates, and a local Vietnam expert can change the hotel class, the cruise cabin or the meals (pure veg and Jain included).

Vietnam Tour Package Price from Chennai (2026-27)
Most Chennai travellers spend Rs 55,000 to Rs 80,000 per person on a 5 to 6 day Vietnam trip once flights, a mid-range hotel and the Ha Long cruise are added up. The cheapest way in is a land-only package plus a fare you book yourself on a Singapore or Kuala Lumpur connection. The simplest is the Chennai package with flights already inside the price.
| Package | Route | Price per person (twin sharing) | Flights from Chennai | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Charming Vietnam Tour Package From Chennai (4N/5D) | Hanoi, Ha Long Bay (4 star) | Rs 62,899 | Included | First trip, no flight booking |
| Vietnam Honeymoon, Hanoi (3N/4D) | Hanoi | Rs 19,920 | Extra | Couples on a long weekend |
| Hanoi and Ha Long Bay (3N/4D) | Hanoi, Ha Long Bay | Rs 21,840 | Extra | Lowest-cost Ha Long trip |

Add Rs 25,000 to Rs 42,000 for a return economy ticket from Chennai to any "Extra" row, and US$25 (about Rs 2,200) for the e-visa. Booking 6 to 8 weeks ahead keeps the fare near the bottom of that band. If you want Vietnam at the lowest possible spend, our budget Vietnam packages list more 3 and 4 night options.
How to reach Vietnam from Chennai?
Vietnam can only be reached from Chennai by air, and every route has one stop. Five ways work well, and the right one depends on where in Vietnam you start.
By Air
| Route from Chennai | Airlines | Total time | One-way economy fare | Lands at |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Via Singapore | Scoot, Singapore Airlines | about 7 to 10 hours | from Rs 12,600 | Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Da Nang |
| Via Kuala Lumpur | AirAsia, Malaysia Airlines | about 7 to 11 hours | from Rs 14,000 | Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, Phu Quoc |
| Via Bangkok | Thai Airways, Thai AirAsia, IndiGo + VietJet | about 8 to 11 hours | Rs 14,000 to Rs 21,000 | Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Phu Quoc |
| Via Colombo | SriLankan to Colombo, then VietJet (Tue, Thu, Sat) | about 8 to 10 hours | varies by day | Ho Chi Minh City |
| Via Bengaluru | Any Chennai to Bengaluru flight, then VietJet VJ1802 or Vietnam Airlines VN982 overnight | about 7 to 9 hours | varies, two tickets | Ho Chi Minh City (Mon, Wed, Fri, Sun) or Hanoi (Tue, Thu, Sat, Sun) |
One-way fares on the main connections run Rs 11,700 to Rs 20,400 into Ho Chi Minh City and Rs 14,400 to Rs 21,300 into Hanoi (Kayak, October 2026). February and April are the cheapest months to fly, while November into Hanoi and December into Ho Chi Minh City cost the most.
The Bengaluru option is the one competitors miss. The Chennai to Bengaluru leg takes about an hour, and the two overnight non-stops land at 05:45 in Hanoi or 06:00 in Saigon, so you lose no sightseeing day. Book both legs on one ticket where you can. If they are separate tickets, leave at least four hours in Bengaluru. Prefer to start the whole trip from Bengaluru? See our Vietnam tour packages from Bangalore.
Distances, airport tips and the full list of carriers sit in our guide on how to reach Vietnam from Chennai.
Ideal Duration
Vietnam is long and thin, and that decides how many days you need. Hanoi sits about 1,150 km from Ho Chi Minh City, a two-hour domestic flight. Add half a day each way for the one-stop flight from Chennai and the picture gets clear.
• 5 to 6 days covers Hanoi and an overnight Ha Long Bay cruise without rushing.
• 7 to 8 days adds Da Nang and Hoi An, or Ho Chi Minh City and the Cu Chi Tunnels.
• 9 to 10 days lets you go north to south, or finish with three slow days on Phu Quoc.
A 5N/6D trip is the sweet spot for a first visit from Chennai. You land in Hanoi, cruise Ha Long, fly south and leave from Ho Chi Minh City.
| Sample plan | Day by day |
|---|---|
| 5N/6D: Hanoi, Ha Long, Saigon | Day 1 land in Hanoi, Old Quarter walk and water puppet show · Day 2 Temple of Literature, Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, Tran Quoc Pagoda · Day 3 drive to Ha Long, board the cruise, kayak at sunset · Day 4 cave visit, back to Hanoi, evening flight to Ho Chi Minh City · Day 5 Cu Chi Tunnels and the War Remnants Museum · Day 6 fly home via Singapore or Kuala Lumpur |
| 7N/8D: north, centre and south | Days 1 to 2 Hanoi · Day 3 Ha Long overnight cruise · Day 4 fly to Da Nang · Day 5 Ba Na Hills and the Golden Bridge · Day 6 Hoi An old town and the lantern boat · Day 7 fly to Ho Chi Minh City, Mekong Delta day trip · Day 8 fly home |
Types of Vietnam Packages from Chennai
Vietnam honeymoon packages from Chennai
Couples from Chennai mostly pick one of two trips. The 3N/4D Hanoi honeymoon at Rs 19,920 per person suits a short break around a long weekend. The 5N/6D Splendid Vietnam Honeymoon at Rs 30,000 adds a Ha Long Bay night and Ho Chi Minh City, with the internal flight already paid. Ask for a balcony cabin on the cruise and a Hoi An lantern evening if you have the extra days. Every couple's option is in our Vietnam honeymoon packages.
Family trips
Families with parents along usually prefer fewer hotel changes and a beach finish. The Ho Chi Minh City and Phu Quoc trip does exactly that, and the 6N/7D family trip adds Siem Reap for Angkor Wat. Book the April to May school holidays by February, when Chennai flights start climbing. More options are in Vietnam family packages.
Groups of friends
Groups of six or more get a private coach and a whole Ha Long boat at a better per-head rate. See Vietnam group tour packages.
With flights or land only
The card marked "Flights from Chennai" quotes one price with your international flights inside. Land-only cards let you use your own fare, miles or a cheaper Scoot or AirAsia deal. Both come with the same local agent and on-trip support.

Best time to visit Vietnam
Vietnam runs about 1,650 km from north to south, so the "best time" depends on which half you're seeing. For most trips from Chennai, November to April suits Hanoi, Ha Long and the south, while the central coast (Da Nang and Hoi An) is wet until about January and best from February to August. Full month-by-month weather is in our best time to visit Vietnam guide.
Winter (November to February)
Winter is the best time for most Vietnam trips from Chennai. Hanoi drops to around 15°C to 20°C, a real change from Chennai heat, so carry a light jacket. Ha Long can be misty in January, but the cruise still sails. The south is dry and sunny, which makes this the right season for Ho Chi Minh City and Phu Quoc. Central Vietnam is still wet until January.
One caution on dates. Tet, the Vietnamese New Year, falls on 6 February 2027. Many shops and family restaurants shut for several days around it, and hotel prices climb. Go for the festival if you want it, otherwise travel a week either side.
Spring and Summer (March to October)
March and April are dry and warm in every region, and the Christmas crowds have gone. From May the south turns rainy, with short afternoon showers rather than all-day rain. Da Nang and Hoi An are at their best from February to August, which makes the central coast the right pick for a May trip. September to November brings typhoon risk to the centre and north, so keep plans flexible then.
Best months to travel from Chennai
| Chennai holiday window | Where to go in Vietnam | Booking tip |
|---|---|---|
| Christmas to New Year | Anywhere north or south | Peak fares. Book 8 weeks ahead |
| Pongal week (mid-January) | Hanoi, Ha Long, Phu Quoc | Book by November |
| Tamil Nadu school holidays (April to May) | Da Nang, Hoi An, Ba Na Hills | Hot in Saigon. Book by February |
| Deepavali and Puja breaks (October to November) | Ho Chi Minh City, Phu Quoc in late November | Central coast is wet, skip it |
Vietnam Visa for Indians Travelling from Chennai
Indian passport holders need an e-visa for Vietnam, applied for online before you fly. It costs US$25 for single entry or US$50 for multiple entry, allows a stay of up to 90 days and usually comes through in about 3 working days. Your passport must be valid for six months from arrival. Apply on the official evisa.gov.vn portal, print the approval and carry it with your ticket. Before you fly, also fill in the free online pre-arrival declaration at prearrival.immigration.gov.vn (it covers Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Da Nang and Phu Quoc airports) and keep the QR code for immigration.
Phu Quoc island allows a 30-day stay without a visa when you fly in from abroad, and on paper also on a same-day connection that never leaves the airport transit area. At Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, though, domestic flights leave from a separate terminal, so most travellers clear immigration there and need the e-visa. Step-by-step help is in our Vietnam visa for Indians guide, and your agent checks the application before you submit it.
Vietnam or Thailand from Chennai?
Many Chennai travellers weigh Vietnam against Thailand. Here is the honest comparison.
| Factor | Vietnam from Chennai | Thailand from Chennai |
|---|---|---|
| Flight | One stop, about 7 to 11 hours | Non-stop to Bangkok, about 3½ hours |
| Package from | Rs 19,920 land only | Rs 9,000 land only |
| Visa | E-visa, US$25 | Visa-free for Indians |
| Best for | Ha Long cruise, history, cooler north in winter, fewer crowds | Short beach break, nightlife, easy first trip abroad |
Thailand is quicker and cheaper for a 4-day break. Vietnam rewards a 6-day trip and feels less crowded. Compare both on our Thailand tour packages from Chennai.
Tips For Travellers
Vegetarian and South Indian food
Vegetarian food is easier to find than most people expect. Vietnam has a Buddhist vegetarian tradition, and restaurants marked "chay" serve only meat-free dishes. Hanoi's Old Quarter, Ho Chi Minh City's District 1 and Da Nang all have Indian restaurants, several of them serving dosa and idli. Fish sauce goes into a lot of local cooking, so say "khong nuoc mam" (no fish sauce) when you order. Tell your agent at booking if you need pure veg or Jain meals, and they will be pre-arranged on the Ha Long cruise.
Money and phone
Vietnam uses the dong (VND). Carry US dollars and change them to dong in Vietnam. Rupees are hard to exchange there, and you get a better rate on dollars. Buy a local SIM or eSIM at the airport for cheap data, and download Grab for taxis.
Health and packing
• Carry mosquito repellent, especially from May to October when dengue cases rise in the south.
• Pack light cottons for the south and a warm layer for Hanoi between December and February.
• Try pho, banh mi and egg coffee in Hanoi. Vegetarians can ask for pho chay at any chay restaurant.
• If you can see only part of the country, start with Hanoi, Ha Long Bay and Ho Chi Minh City from the price table above.

FAQs About Vietnam Tour Packages
How much does a Vietnam tour package from Chennai cost?
A Vietnam tour package from Chennai starts at Rs 19,920 per person for 3 nights land only, and Rs 62,899 per person for the 4N/5D Hanoi and Ha Long trip with return flights from Chennai. Most travellers spend Rs 55,000 to Rs 80,000 per person on a 5 to 6 day trip with flights, hotels, sightseeing and a Ha Long Bay cruise. Add US$25 for the e-visa.
Is there a direct flight from Chennai to Vietnam?
No. There is no non-stop flight from Chennai to Vietnam. Most travellers fly one-stop via Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok or Colombo, which takes about 7 to 11 hours including the layover. The other option is a short flight to Bengaluru and an overnight non-stop to Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi, which runs every night of the week between VietJet and Vietnam Airlines.
Which is the cheapest way to fly from Chennai to Vietnam?
A one-stop flight via Singapore on Scoot or via Kuala Lumpur on AirAsia is usually cheapest, with one-way fares from about Rs 12,600 into Ho Chi Minh City and Rs 14,000 into Hanoi. February and April are the cheapest months. November and December cost the most. The Bengaluru route can work out cheaper when the Bengaluru non-stop has a sale.
How long is the flight from Chennai to Vietnam?
Plan on 7 to 11 hours from Chennai to Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City, including one layover. The flying time itself is about 5 and a half to 7 hours. The connection in Singapore, Kuala Lumpur or Bangkok makes up the rest, so a short layover keeps the journey close to 7 hours.
How many days are enough for a Vietnam trip from Chennai?
Five to six days cover Hanoi and an overnight Ha Long Bay cruise. Seven to eight days let you add Da Nang and Hoi An or Ho Chi Minh City. Nine to ten days are right for north to south or a Phu Quoc beach finish. Keep in mind the one-stop flight takes about half a day each way.
What is very famous in Vietnam?
Vietnam is a prominent destination that offers the richness of its diverse culture, delectable cuisines, and pristine beaches.
Are flights included in Vietnam packages from Chennai?
On cards marked "Flights from Chennai", yes. The Charming Vietnam 4N/5D package includes return flights from Chennai at Rs 62,899 per person. Land-only cards cover hotels, transfers, sightseeing and the cruise, and some include internal flights inside Vietnam. For those, add Rs 25,000 to Rs 42,000 for a return economy ticket from Chennai.
Do Indians need a visa for Vietnam?
Yes. Indian passport holders need an e-visa, applied for online before travel. It costs US$25 for single entry or US$50 for multiple entry, allows a stay of up to 90 days and usually takes about 3 working days. Your passport must be valid for six months. Phu Quoc allows 30 days visa-free on an international arrival there, including an airside transit connection, but most connections via Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi change terminals and need the e-visa.
What is the best time to visit Vietnam?
The best time to visit Vietnam from Chennai is November to April, when the north is cool and dry and the south is sunny. Da Nang and Hoi An are best from February to August. Pongal week and the Christmas holidays suit Hanoi and Ha Long, while the April to May school holidays suit the central coast. Avoid Tet week (6 February 2027).
Is Vietnam good for a honeymoon from Chennai?
Yes. A night on a Ha Long Bay cruise, a lantern boat in Hoi An and a Phu Quoc sunset make Vietnam one of the best value honeymoons from Chennai. The 3N/4D Hanoi honeymoon starts at Rs 19,920 per person and the 5N/6D Hanoi, Ha Long and Saigon honeymoon at Rs 30,000, both land only and both customisable.
Is vegetarian food easily available in Vietnam?
Yes, with a little planning. Buddhist "chay" restaurants serve only vegetarian food, and Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang have Indian restaurants with South Indian dishes. Ask for no fish sauce when ordering. Tell your agent at booking and pure veg or Jain meals will be arranged on the Ha Long cruise and at hotels.
Can I combine Vietnam and Cambodia from Chennai?
Yes. A 6N/7D trip covers Hanoi, Ha Long Bay and Siem Reap for Angkor Wat, starting at Rs 31,899 per person land only. Siem Reap is a short flight from Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City. Cambodia also needs its own e-visa, which your agent can guide you through.
Is Vietnam a safe country?
Yes, Vietnam is a safe country with low violent crime, and Indian families and solo women travel it widely. Watch for bag snatching from motorbikes in Ho Chi Minh City, agree taxi fares or use Grab, and keep your passport in the hotel safe. Local agents on every TravelTriangle trip are reachable 24 hours a day.
What is Vietnam known for?
Vietnam is known for its cuisine, wildlife, art, architecture and picturesque landscape.
What should one pack for Vietnam?
You must pack very light, comfortable clothes if you're traveling to Vietnam. Cotton clothes are especially recommended.
