Vietnam stretches over 1,600 km from north to south, so the weather in Hanoi can be completely different from Ho Chi Minh City in the same week.

North Vietnam (Hanoi, Ha Long Bay)

Spring (March–April) and autumn (September–November) are the most comfortable. Winters are cool and summers are hot and humid.

February to August is generally dry and sunny. October and November bring heavy rain and occasional flooding.

The dry season runs roughly from December to April. The wet season brings short afternoon downpours.

5N / 6D · from ₹54,999

Hanoi city tour, an overnight Ha Long Bay cruise and the lantern-lit streets of Hoi An.

6N / 7D · from ₹79,999

A slower, romantic route: boutique stays in Hoi An, a luxury bay cruise and a beach finish in Da Nang.

March–April works well for a north-to-central route (Hanoi, Ha Long Bay, Hoi An), with comfortable temperatures across both regions.

October and November bring heavy rain and occasional flooding to Hoi An and Da Nang.

Documents, money, SIM cards and etiquette — everything to sort out before your first Thailand holiday.
