Customizable Vietnam Tours & Travel Packages

The best time to visit Vietnam for Indian travellers to have the best experience for all 3 regions North, South, and Central is from October to April, which has the nicest weather for a long holiday with less rain and cool temperature, suitable for most indoor and outdoor activities. This time also coincides with many long holidays in India such as Diwali, Eid, Christmas & New Year. Besides, due to the convenient location, Vietnam is also a good place to enjoy some short holidays (by adding some days of annual leaves) like Holi, Independence Day, or Republic Day.

Note: this time is only perfect for beach vacation in Central and South Vietnam, low temperature in the North from November to April is not suitable for enjoying any kind of water activities. For families with kids, the summer holiday in May and June is a better choice to experience Vietnam with sun, sand, and sea.

Yes, Vietnam is generally a very safe and welcoming destination for Indian travellers. Whether you are travelling solo, as a couple, or with family, most visitors find the country peaceful, secure, and easy to explore. To ensure a smooth and enjoyable trip, here are some key safety aspects to keep in mind:

Public Security

Vietnam is politically stable with low violent crime rates. Petty crimes like pickpocketing or bag snatching may occur in crowded tourist areas, so keep your belongings close and avoid showing valuables in public.

Traffic Safety

Traffic in major cities like Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City can be chaotic, with a high number of motorbikes and limited pedestrian infrastructure. Always be cautious when crossing streets and consider using ride-hailing apps like Grab instead of renting motorbikes unless you’re experienced.

Food & Drink Hygiene

Street food is a highlight of Vietnam, but make sure to eat at stalls or restaurants that are busy and appear clean. Avoid tap water - stick to bottled water and use it even when brushing your teeth. Be cautious with ice and unwashed fruits.

Natural Disasters

Vietnam’s climate includes typhoons (July - October in Central and Northern regions) and seasonal flooding in the Mekong Delta and Central areas. Check weather updates and avoid affected regions during heavy rains.

Health Care

Vietnam has international hospitals in major cities like Vinmec, French Hospital, and FV Hospital. These offer 24/7 care with English-speaking doctors and multilingual staff.

Vaccinations

Before visiting Vietnam, Indian travellers should consider the following vaccinations (consult your doctor 4 - 6 weeks before travel):

• Hepatitis A and B
• Typhoid
• Tetanus-diphtheria
• Japanese Encephalitis (especially if visiting rural areas or travelling long-term)
• Rabies (if you plan outdoor activities or contact with animals)
• Malaria prevention (for specific forested or rural zones, particularly in the Central Highlands)

Generally, when traveling to Vietnam, you have to notice two important things about the electricity in this country - plugs and voltage:

If you are traveling from India to Vietnam:

• Devices with a Type C plug can be used directly in Vietnam without any adapter.
• Devices with a Type D plug will require a plug adapter to fit into Vietnamese sockets.

It is recommended to bring a universal adapter to ensure compatibility with all socket types during your trip.

Travelers from small-group tours rarely go together from the beginning until the end. They usually meet each other halfway because they can partly customize the journey, leading to great participation and wonderful experiences when meeting new friends.

Tipping is not compulsory since it’s not part of Vietnam culture, you do not have to tip everywhere when traveling in the country. You can choose to tip as a thank you to the staff providing you with good services, they will be happy and highly appreciate that.

If you are wondering how much is suitable for tipping, check out our suggestions below:

Yes, you should. Though Travel Insurance is not always mandatory for international travel, buying it is still a wise decision since the insurance will prevent you from unpredictable financial losses.

Medical emergencies, flight cancellations, money losses, etc., can happen at any time during your future trip - and when they occur, the insurance will work and take care of your expenses. Hence, Travel Insurance is very important for your trip.

It’s highly recommended to buy Travel Insurance in your country before the journey. If you need help buying insurance, contact our sales consultants for support.
