Exploring Vietnam from India.
Want to go to vietnam from India?
Are you dreaming to go Vietnam from India? The charm of Vietnam is waiting for you! This guide will take you through the basics of a hassle-free trip from India to Vietnam.
While there are no direct cruises from India, you have several options from Singapore. Pick any cruise from Singapore to Ho Chi Minh City and spend a leisurely few days making your way through the deep sea, stopping at different ports along the way to finally arrive at your destination to continue the rest of your vacation. The cruise from Singapore to Ho Chi Minh City usually takes about 9-10 days.
South Vietnam (Ho Chi Minh City) has warm weather all year round, making it suitable for travelers to come at any time. However, you should expect sudden rain during the rainy season (June – November), and some might find unbearable temperatures during the dry season, especially from March to May.
Vietnam is considered to be a more budget-friendly option than Thailand. Accommodations, food, and transportation are all cheaper in Vietnam, especially in rural areas
