About this trip

Vietnam suits a group that's already done Thailand or Bali and wants something with a bit more culture and scenery in the mix. Ha Long Bay's limestone karsts, Hoi An's lantern-lit old town and Da Nang's beaches cover very different moods in one trip.

It's a slightly less crowded pick than Thailand for Indian travellers right now, which a lot of our groups specifically like.

How to reach: Connecting flights from major Indian cities into Hanoi or Da Nang. We plan the full multi-city route once your group's cities are decided.

Trip highlights

  • Ha Long Bay overnight cruise among the limestone islands
  • Hoi An's old town and lantern festival evenings
  • Da Nang's beaches and the Golden Bridge
  • Hanoi's old quarter and street food scene
  • Ho Chi Minh City for groups extending the trip south
