Last reviewed: 15 October 2026. Entry and visa rules change often. Confirm current requirements on the destination's official government or embassy website before booking. Visa decisions are made only by the issuing authority; nobody can guarantee approval.
Choosing your Vietnam route
Vietnam is long and narrow, so most first trips focus on one or two regions rather than the whole country. Fewer internal flights usually means a more relaxed holiday.
- North — Hanoi and Ha Long Bay: old quarter walks, a bay cruise and cooler winter months.
- Central — Da Nang and Hoi An: beaches, Ba Na Hills and the lantern-lit old town; popular with couples.
- South — Ho Chi Minh City and the Mekong Delta: city sightseeing, Cu Chi tunnels and river trips.
- Combination: north plus central suits a first trip of around a week; adding the south needs more days.
Best time to travel from Chennai
Weather differs by region. The north has a cool winter and a hot, humid summer; the central coast has a rainy season in the later months of the year; the south stays warm with a wet season mid-year. Tell us your dates and we will suggest the region that fits them best rather than forcing one fixed route.
Visa and documents to check
Indian passport holders normally need a visa for Vietnam, and Vietnam operates an official e-visa portal. Check the current type, validity and fees on the official Vietnam immigration website, and keep the e-visa printout with your passport. Our international travel documents checklist covers passport validity, tickets, insurance and forex.
What a good Vietnam quote should list
Ask for an itemised quote so you can compare packages fairly:
- Flights from Chennai (MAA) and any internal flights, with baggage allowance.
- Hotel names, room type and meal plan for each city.
- Which sightseeing, cruises and transfers are included, and which are optional.
- Whether vegetarian or Indian meals can be arranged on tours and cruises.
- Visa, travel insurance and forex — included or separate.
