Two people can fly out in the same week and spend very different amounts on the same trip. One booked a connecting flight early, picked a simple 3-star hotel, and shared a group cruise, their bill comes to around ₹1,60,000 ($1,685) for two. The other flew direct at short notice, picked a boutique hotel, and added a private car between cities,  their bill can cross ₹2,00,000 ($2,105). Same country, same dates, very different bills. 

That is the real answer to “how much does Vietnam cost from India”, it depends on departure city, how early you book, your hotel category, and how many regions you cover.

This guide breaks the Vietnam trip cost from India into its actual parts,  flights, visa, hotels, food, domestic travel and tours with INR and USD figures, so you can build your own number instead of trusting one from a listicle.

Vietnam Trip Cost from India in 2026: The Direct Answer

For a 7-night, 8-day trip covering Hanoi, Ha Long Bay and Da Nang/Hoi An, here is what a solo traveller should realistically set aside:

• Budget: ₹58,000–₹72,000 ($610–$760) per person
• Comfortable: ₹85,000–₹1,10,000 ($895–$1,160) per person
• Premium: ₹1,30,000–₹1,80,000 ($1,370–$1,895) per person

A couple sharing a hotel room spends ₹1,60,000–₹3,20,000 ($1,685–$3,370) total for the same 7 nights, depending on category (full breakdown below). These figures come from adding up flights, visa, hotels, food, domestic travel and tours, not from a single guess. USD conversions use a rate of roughly ₹95 = $1, the exact number will shift slightly with the market.

Flight Cost from India to Vietnam

Flights are usually the single biggest swing factor in your Vietnam trip. As of mid-2026, return economy fares to Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City look roughly like this:

• Delhi: ₹22,000–₹35,000 ($230–$370) on a good booking window; ₹40,000+ ($420+) during festive months
• Mumbai: ₹28,000–₹40,000 ($295–$420), since fewer direct options push more travellers onto one-stop routes
• Bengaluru: ₹25,000–₹38,000 ($265–$400), mostly via Delhi, Kolkata or Kuala Lumpur
• Kolkata: ₹18,000–₹28,000 ($190–$295), the cheapest of the four since it’s the shortest hop with strong direct connectivity

Vietnam Visa Cost

Indian passport holders need a visa for any stay, there’s no visa-free entry. The e-visa, applied for on the official government portal, is simplest:

• Single-entry e-visa: USD 25 (approximately ₹2,100–₹2,250)
• Multiple-entry e-visa: USD 50 (approximately ₹4,200–₹4,500)
• Validity: up to 90 days on either type

Note: The visa fee is paid in USD on the official portal, so the INR amount may vary. The fee is non-refundable, even if your visa is rejected, and your passport should be valid for at least 6 months. You can also check our Vietnam Visa Guide for Indians for complete details.

Hotel Cost in Vietnam

Hotel prices vary by city, and confusion between per-room and per-person prices can make budgeting difficult. The prices below are per room, per night, for two people sharing one room.

City	Budget Guesthouse / 3-star	Mid-range 3–4 star	Comfortable 4-star / Boutique
Hanoi	₹2,000–₹3,000 ($21–$32)	₹3,500–₹5,500 ($37–$58)	₹6,500–₹9,500 ($68–$100)
Da Nang	₹2,200–₹3,200 ($23–$34)	₹4,000–₹6,000 ($42–$63)	₹7,000–₹10,500 ($74–$110)
Hoi An	₹2,000–₹3,000 ($21–$32)	₹3,800–₹5,800 ($40–$61)	₹7,500–₹11,000 ($79–$116)
Ho Chi Minh City	₹2,500–₹3,500 ($26–$37)	₹4,200–₹6,500 ($44–$68)	₹7,500–₹11,500 ($79–$121)

For two people sharing one room for 7 nights, the total is roughly ₹14,000–₹21,000 ($147–$221) for budget stays, ₹26,000–₹40,000 ($274–$421) for mid-range stays, and ₹47,000–₹75,000 ($495–$789) for comfortable stays. These amounts are for both travellers combined, not per person.

Hoi An and Da Nang can be slightly more expensive than Hanoi because more hotels and stays in these areas are resort-style.

Food Cost in Vietnam

“Food is cheap in Vietnam”, but prices can vary depending on where and what you eat. Here’s what things actually cost:

• Bowl of pho: ₹90–₹150 ($0.95–$1.60)
• Banh mi: ₹60–₹100 ($0.65–$1.05)
• Vietnamese coffee: ₹70–₹120 ($0.75–$1.25)
• Local breakfast at a street stall: ₹100–₹180 ($1.05–$1.90)
• Casual sit-down restaurant meal: ₹250–₹450 ($2.65–$4.75) per person
• Bottled water (1.5L): ₹25–₹40 ($0.25–$0.40)
• Dinner at a mid-range or better restaurant: ₹500–₹1,000 ($5.25–$10.50) per person

A budget daily food cost runs ₹600–₹900 ($6–$9.50) per person eating mostly at street stalls. A budget daily food cost runs ₹1,200–₹2,000 ($13–$21), with casual meals with one better restaurant dinner and regular café stops.

Transport, Domestic Flights and Transfers

Local transport rarely breaks a Vietnam budget. Grab rides within a city cost ₹150–₹400 ($1.60–$4.20), and airport transfers run ₹500–₹1,200 ($5.25–$12.60). What moves the needle is travel between regions.

On a Hanoi → Ha Long Bay → Da Nang/Hoi An route, the Ha Long Bay leg is included in your cruise package (return transport from Hanoi), so the real added cost is the domestic flight to Da Nang. One-way fares on VietJet Air or Vietnam Airlines run ₹2,500–₹6,000 ($26–$63) per person booked a few weeks ahead.

Tours and Experiences

This is where budget, comfortable and premium travellers diverge:

• Ha Long Bay overnight cruise: ₹9,000–₹13,000 ($95–$137) per person (budget) to ₹21,000–₹38,000 ($220–$400) per person (mid-range/luxury), including meals, cabin and cave visits
• Ninh Binh day tour (Trang An/Tam Coc): ₹1,500–₹3,000 ($16–$32) per person
• Ba Na Hills day trip (cable car + Golden Bridge): ₹2,800–₹4,200 ($29–$44) per person for the ticket
• Hoi An lantern-town walking tour/boat ride: ₹500–₹1,200 ($5–$13) per person
• Cooking class: ₹1,500–₹2,800 ($16–$29) per person
• City tours (Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City): ₹1,000–₹2,500 ($10.50–$26) per person

A shared cruise plus a couple of low-cost day tours keeps this category under ₹15,000 ($158) per person. A luxury cruise cabin and private transfers can push it past ₹40,000–₹50,000 ($420–$525) on tours alone.

What a 7-Night Vietnam Trip Actually Costs

The total cost of a 7-night Vietnam trip depends on your travel style, hotel choice and the number of places you visit. Adding up the categories above for one person, covering Hanoi + Ha Long Bay + Da Nang/Hoi An:

Expense	Budget	Comfortable	Premium
Flights (return)	₹22,000 ($230)	₹28,000 ($295)	₹38,000 ($400)
Visa	₹2,200 ($23)	₹2,200 ($23)	₹4,400 ($46)
Hotels (7 nights, per person)	₹10,000 ($105)	₹18,000 ($190)	₹32,000 ($337)
Food	₹5,600 ($59)	₹10,500 ($110)	₹16,000 ($168)
Domestic flight + transfers	₹4,000 ($42)	₹6,500 ($68)	₹9,500 ($100)
Local transport	₹1,500 ($16)	₹2,500 ($26)	₹4,000 ($42)
Tours/activities	₹10,000 ($105)	₹20,000 ($210)	₹35,000 ($368)
Miscellaneous (SIM, tips, small buys)	₹2,500 ($26)	₹4,000 ($42)	₹6,000 ($63)
Total (per person)	₹57,800–₹60,000 ($608–$632)	₹91,700–₹95,000 ($965–$1,000)	₹1,44,900–₹1,50,000 ($1,525–$1,579)

These ranges match the direct-answer figures above and account for the fact that budget travellers still need visas and flights regardless of style.

Vietnam Trip Cost for a Couple

Couples don’t pay double the hotel cost, since the room rate is already per room, not per person. Everything else, flights, visa, food, tours, still applies per person.

• Budget couple: roughly ₹1,15,000–₹1,44,000 ($1,210–$1,515) total for both, 7 nights
• Mid range : roughly ₹1,70,000–₹2,20,000 ($1,790–$2,315) total
• Premium couple: roughly ₹2,60,000–₹3,60,000 ($2,735–$3,790) total

The gap between solo and couple cost is smaller than most people expect, because the hotel, the one shared line item, is a fairly small slice of the overall budget.

Where Your Vietnam Budget Goes Up

Adding Ho Chi Minh City to a Hanoi–Da Nang/Hoi An itinerary is the biggest lever after flights:

• One more domestic flight (₹2,500–₹6,000 / $26–$63 per person one-way)
• An extra airport transfer at both ends
• Less time in each city, since a 7-night trip now splits across three regions instead of two
• A higher total, typically ₹8,000–₹15,000 ($84–$158) more per person, once transfers and the extra night’s logistics are counted

Hanoi + Ha Long Bay + Da Nang/Hoi An is the better-value route for a first 7-night trip — a cruise, a historic capital and a beach/heritage combination without a third internal flight. Add Ho Chi Minh City on a longer trip (10+ nights) rather than squeezing it into a week.

Costs People Forget

• Extra baggage: ₹1,500–₹3,000 ($16–$32) if your fare doesn’t include checked-in luggage
• eSIM or local SIM: ₹600–₹1,200 ($6–$13) for a data package for the whole trip
• Travel insurance: ₹800–₹2,000 ($8–$21) for a week, not mandatory but sensible
• ATM/card charges: 2–3% on foreign transactions, plus a flat ATM withdrawal fee
• Cruise extras: kayaking upgrades, drinks and spa add-ons can add ₹2,000–₹5,000 ($21–$53) per person on a Ha Long Bay cruise
• Tour add-ons: entrance tickets bundled separately from the “tour price” you saw online

How to Save Without Making the Trip Worse

Where it’s safe to save: use Grab instead of hotel taxis, pick a well-located mid-range hotel over a slightly cheaper one far from the centre, compare cruise inclusions before booking the cheapest option, and skip a third region if it means less than two full days anywhere.

Where cutting corners backfires: a hotel far from anything useful, an unlicensed transfer operator, a windowless budget cruise cabin, and badly timed flights that cost half a day. Cheap and good value usually differ on location and timing, not the headline price.

Final Verdict

A realistic Vietnam trip cost from India in 2026 sits between ₹58,000 and ₹1,50,000 ($610–$1,580) per person for 7 nights, depending on how you travel, and flights plus tours, not hotels, push the number up or down. If you’re planning an 8-day Vietnam trip and want the flights, cruise and transfers worked out for you rather than booked separately, Trekhops builds Vietnam itineraries around exactly these numbers, worth a look if you’d rather not chase twelve booking pages.
