Explore Vietnam: The Ultimate Travel Handbook

Things to Keep in mind:

Vietnam has so much to offer, it can be overwhelming to try and cover everything in one visit.

You need at least 2 weeks to touch (North, Central, and South Vietnam) and cover all the major highlights.

If this is your first visit, and you only have 7 days, I would highly recommend you pick North and Central Vietnam to make the most of your experience.

Getting Started Process (For Indian Travellers)

It's best to book your roundtrip tickets directly from the Vietjet website for the best offers. 

One important thing to note when booking with Vietjet is that they are a low-cost airline, and hence, only 7 kg of cabin baggage is allowed. If you need to carry more luggage, it's cheaper to book it in advance through their website (around 2k for 20 kgs).

The visa application process is straightforward and can be completed entirely online via the official website using this link. The cost of the visa is $25 (as of today)

By following these tips, you'll be able to book your Vietnam trip with ease and avoid any last-minute problems or extra charges.

Vietnam is a place where there is something that aligns with everyone! Nature - yes. Cities - yes, Luxury - yes, budget & backpacking - yes!
