7-Day Vietnam Itinerary from India 2026: Day-by-Day Plan + Total Cost in ₹
The most-booked Vietnam format for Indians is the 7-day trip — and 'vietnam package tour 7 days' is a breakout search this month. Here is a realistic day-by-day 7-day Vietnam itinerary from India, with the actual total cost in rupees for budget, mid-range and comfort travellers.
Seven days is the sweet spot for a Vietnam trip from India — long enough to see the north and centre properly, short enough to fit standard annual leave. It is also why 'vietnam package tour 7 days' is a breakout search in India right now. Here is a realistic, tested 7-day Vietnam itinerary with the real costs in rupees.
Day 1 — Arrive Hanoi
Fly into Hanoi (HAN). There are no direct flights from India, so you will connect via Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur or Singapore — 7–11 hours total depending on the layover. Check into the Old Quarter, walk to Hoan Kiem Lake at dusk, and have your first bowl of pho and an egg coffee. Full flight-route detail by city is in our Vietnam destination guide.
Day 2 — Hanoi city + street food
The Temple of Literature, the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, the Train Street, and the famous Bun Cha that Obama and Anthony Bourdain ate. Do a guided street-food walk in the evening — it is the single best-value experience in the city.
Day 3–4 — Ha Long Bay overnight cruise
Drive to Ha Long (or the quieter Lan Ha Bay) and board a junk-boat cruise. Kayak through grottoes, swim off the boat, watch sunrise over the limestone karsts. A 2-day/1-night cruise is the highlight of most Vietnam trips. This is the centrepiece of our Vietnam Discovery Tour package.
Day 5 — Fly to Da Nang, transfer to Hoi An
A short domestic flight south. Da Nang has the beach and the Dragon Bridge; Hoi An, 30 minutes away, is the UNESCO lantern town. Check into Hoi An and watch the old town glow at dusk.
Day 6 — Hoi An: tailoring, cycling, lanterns
Get clothes tailored in 24 hours, cycle to An Bang beach, take a basket-boat ride, and float a lantern on the river at night. Hoi An is the most photogenic place in Vietnam.
Day 7 — Departure
Fly home from Da Nang (DAD) via your connecting hub. If you have two extra days, add Ho Chi Minh City and the Cu Chi tunnels in the south — see our full 10–14 day Vietnam itinerary for the extended version.
