Vietnam on a Budget: What a Week Really Costs

Vietnam is one of Asia's best-value destinations — world-class food, charming stays and unforgettable experiences at a fraction of what they'd cost elsewhere. Here's where your rupees go on a typical week-long trip.

Flights

Return fares from major Indian metros run roughly ₹24,000–₹40,000 with one stop. Booking 6–8 weeks ahead and staying flexible on dates is the single biggest saving.

Stays

Smart 3–4★ boutique hotels cost ₹2,500–₹9,000 a night. An overnight Ha Long Bay cruise (₹8,000–₹20,000pp) is the one splurge worth making.

Food & getting around

You can eat brilliantly for ₹700–₹1,800 a day, from pho stalls to riverside restaurants. Internal flights between Hanoi, Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City keep travel times short and cost ₹3,000–₹7,000 a hop.

The bottom line

A comfortable 7-night trip typically lands between ₹65,000 and ₹95,000 per person including flights, cruise and tours — outstanding value for everything you'll see.
