Limestone bays, old quarters and the best value in Southeast Asia
Vietnam offers the widest range of landscapes per rupee of any Southeast Asian destination — a limestone bay, two very different major cities and a preserved trading port, all within one week.
Vietnam is long and narrow, and the north and south feel like separate countries — different weather, different food, different pace. That geography is the main planning constraint. Six days covers the north properly. Nine days lets you take the country end to end, but it means two internal flights and a faster rhythm.
Day trips to Ha Long Bay involve four hours of driving for a few hours on the water. An overnight cruise costs more and is the version worth doing: the bay empties out after the day boats leave, and sunrise over the karsts is the reason people come.
The country spans several climate zones, so there is no single best month. October to April works well for the north. February to May suits the centre around Hoi An. If you are taking the whole country in one trip, March is the most reliable compromise.
Roughly ₹65,000–1,00,000 per person excluding international flights. Vietnam is the strongest value in the region — meals, local transport and entry fees are all inexpensive, and the money goes further than in Thailand or Bali.
