Handpicked for Kolkata Travellers
Every package below is popular with travellers flying from Kolkata. All itineraries are fully tailor-made — durations, hotels, and activities adjusted to your dates and budget. 6 packages shown; browse all Vietnam packages.
Getting There
Kolkata has a major advantage for Vietnam travellers: IndiGo operates approximately 7 direct flights per week from Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport (CCU) to Hanoi (HAN), covering just ~1,800 km in approximately 2 hours 15 minutes. This is the shortest India–Hanoi flight of any major Indian city — shorter than Delhi (3,100 km), Mumbai (3,800 km) or Bangalore (3,500 km) — and often one of the most competitively priced.
