Flying Mumbai to Vietnam
Mumbai has direct service to SGN, which is the single biggest reason the total here lands where it does — no connection means no second leg to pay for. Vietnam Airlines, VietJet serve this route; fares below are the typical round trip across them, not the cheapest seat on the cheapest carrier.
Among the 6 departure cities we price for Vietnam, Mumbai ranks 3, about $160 above Delhi. Fares on this route are relatively stable across the booking window — roughly ₹32,000 between the low and high figures we hold.
Airfare is 35% of a mid-range 10-day total from here. The higher that share, the less your travel style changes the final number — and the more the month you travel in does.

Vietnam from Mumbai: questions
How much does a Vietnam trip cost from Mumbai?
A 10-day mid-range trip works out to about ₹128,000 per person, of which roughly ₹45,000 is round-trip airfare from BOM. A backpacker version lands near ₹77,000 and a comfort version near ₹247,000.
What proportion of the budget is the flight?
About 35% of the total from Mumbai, on a mid-range 10-day trip. That is why the same Vietnam itinerary costs very different amounts depending on where you start, and why a single average figure for "the cost of Vietnam" is not useful.
Do I need a visa for Vietnam on an Indian passport?
e-Visa, for stays up to 90 days on an Indian passport. The fee is $25, with processing quoted at 3–5 working days. Confirm against the official source before booking.
When is it cheapest to fly from Mumbai to Vietnam?
May–Sep is the low window (Summer and wet). Travelling then instead of Jan–Feb changes the same trip by roughly ₹32,500.
How much does a trip to Vietnam cost?
It depends almost entirely on where you fly from and how long you stay. On-the-ground costs in Vietnam are among the lowest in Southeast Asia, so for most travellers airfare is the single largest line item. The breakdown on this page separates the two so you can see which one you can actually change.
Is Vietnam cheaper than Thailand?
On the ground, generally yes — accommodation and food run lower in Vietnam, particularly outside Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Total trip cost can still land higher if Vietnam needs a connecting flight from your city while Thailand has a direct one.
