Vietnam has become one of the fastest-growing international destinations for Indian travellers, and Bangalore sits right at the centre of that shift. So, how to reach Vietnam from Bangalore? Flying is the fastest and only practical route to go to Vietnam from Bangalore.
VietJet runs a direct, non-stop flight from Bangalore to Ho Chi Minh City, just under 5 hours in the air. It doesn't fly daily, though—only a few times a week, so your travel dates decide how easy booking feels.
IndiGo, Vietnam Airlines, and Thai Airways cover the rest of the routes, usually with one layover. Headed to Hanoi or Da Nang instead? Expect a stop via Delhi or Bangkok.
This guide walks through the exact flight options, real fares, visa steps, and what your first morning in Vietnam actually looks like. Still, if planning all of this feels like more than you want to handle, most of our Vietnam tour packages cover the flights, stays, and visa in one booking.
Bangalore to Vietnam: Quick Snapshot for Travellers
| Bangalore to Vietnam distance | ~3,100–3,200 km (aerial; varies slightly by destination city) |
| Direct flight from Bangalore | BLR → Ho Chi Minh City (VietJet), Bangalore to Vietnam flight duration: 4h 55m |
| Connecting flights | Via Delhi, Hyderabad, Kolkata, or Bangkok — 6h to 9h total |
| Vietnam Visa | E-visa mandatory for all Indian passport holders |
| Best gateway for Bangalore flyers | Ho Chi Minh City (only city with a direct flight) |
| Currency | Vietnamese Dong (VND) (1 INR =~ 273 VND) |
WanderOn's booking data shows Ho Chi Minh City is consistently the top-booked entry point for our Bangalore travellers—largely because it's the one city they can reach without a layover.
How to Reach Vietnam by Air From Bangalore?
If you’re wondering how to reach Vietnam from Bangalore by air, the answer splits into two paths—a direct flight to your gateway city or a connecting flight if your dates don't line up with the direct schedule.
Bangalore to Vietnam Direct Flights
As of 2026, VietJet operates the only non-stop service between the two cities.
- Route: Kempegowda International Airport (BLR) → Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN), Ho Chi Minh City
- Flight number: VJ1802 (outbound), departs Bangalore around 11:35 PM, lands in Ho Chi Minh City around 6:00 AM local time
- Duration: 4 hours 55 minutes
- Frequency: Runs several times a week — schedules have grown denser through 2026, but this isn't guaranteed daily service. Confirm exact departure days before you book.
- Aircraft: Airbus A321, standard low-cost cabin — no complimentary meals, baggage is usually a separate add-on
Please Note: Flight schedules and numbers (like VJ1802) can adjust seasonally, so always verify exact timings when booking.
Our Recommendation: Because it's a night flight, you land in Vietnam before sunrise, hours ahead of any hotel check-in. So, remember to book an early check-in or arrange a day tour upon arrival. Check out the best things to do in Vietnam for your first day and pick a few to fill your morning.
Here’s how your usual flight schedule looks like:
| Time | What's Happening |
| 8:30 PM (IST) | Reach BLR Terminal 2, check in |
| 11:35 PM (IST) | Flight departs Bangalore |
| 6:00 AM (Vietnam time) | Land in Ho Chi Minh City |
| 6:30 AM | Clear immigration—e-visa holders join a separate queue from visa-on-arrival travellers |
| 7:00 AM+ | Out of the airport, hours before standard hotel check-in |
Connecting Bangalore To Vietnam Flight Route (Hanoi & Da Nang)
If your trip centres on North or Central Vietnam, you'll take a one-stop Bangalore to Vietnam flight route through a layover city:
| Route | Duration | Common Layover |
| BLR → Hyderabad → Ho Chi Minh City | ~5h 25m | 1–2 hrs |
| BLR → Delhi → Hanoi | 7h 30m – 9h | 2–4 hrs |
| BLR → Bangkok → Hanoi / Da Nang | 6h – 8h | 2–3 hrs |
| BLR → Kolkata → Hanoi | ~7h 40m | 1–2 hrs |
Keep at least a 2-hour buffer on any international layover—immigration and re-screening queues at Bangkok and Delhi routinely eat into shorter connections.
Bangalore to Vietnam Flight Price
Fares move more with your booking window than with the airline you pick:
- Booked 6–8 weeks ahead, off-peak: ₹22,000 – ₹26,000 round trip
- Peak season (Nov–Feb) or last-minute: ₹27,000 – ₹35,000 round trip
- Direct VietJet flight: Usually mid-range on this scale—the time saved is often worth the small premium over a connecting flight
Airlines flying this corridor include VietJet, IndiGo, Vietnam Airlines, Air India, Thai Airways, and AirAsia, depending on your layover city.
If sorting out flights, arrival cities, and hotels looks much of a hassle, browse our Vietnam tour packages from Bangalore built around distinct routes and on-ground logistics so that you only pay for the experience you want.
How To Reach Vietnam By Sea From Bangalore
If you’re searching for how to reach Vietnam from Bangalore by sea route, then you must know that there's no passenger ferry or cruise route between any Indian port and Vietnam. Cargo shipping lines do move freight between the two countries, but they don't carry paying passengers, and Vietnam's visa categories don't support arrival by sea from India.
Traveling From Bangalore To Vietnam By Car
You cannot drive from Bangalore to Vietnam. India, Myanmar, and Thailand are building the India–Myanmar–Thailand Trilateral Highway, a ~1,360 km road connecting Moreh (Manipur) to Mae Sot (Thailand) via Tamu, Kalewa, and Mandalay. There's a long-term plan to extend this corridor toward Laos and Vietnam through the existing East-West Economic Corridor.
But as of 2026:
- Several sections inside Myanmar are still under construction
- No trilateral motor vehicle agreement has been signed, so cross-border vehicle permits aren't standardised
- Myanmar's ongoing political instability makes overland travel through the country inadvisable for tourists right now
So Bangalore to Vietnam by car exists as a long-term infrastructure vision and a serious overlanding expedition for a small community of bikers and drivers who go through Myanmar, Thailand, and Laos with separate visas for each country—not as a practical way to plan a Vietnam holiday.
Choose The Right Gateway City In Vietnam: Where To Land?
This decision shapes your whole trip more than which airline you pick.
1. Fly into Ho Chi Minh City if your plan includes the Mekong Delta, Cu Chi Tunnels, or a south-to-north itinerary. It's also the only city reachable without a layover from Bangalore.
2. Fly into Hanoi if Ha Long Bay, Sapa, or North Vietnam is the priority — plan for a connecting flight and extra buffer time on day one.
3. Skip flying direct into Da Nang. Land in Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi first, then take the roughly 1-hour domestic hop — it's typically cheaper than chasing an international fare straight into Da Nang.
Vietnam Visa for Bangalore Travellers
Every Indian passport holder needs a visa, as Vietnam doesn't offer visa-free entry to Indians, and this hasn't changed for 2026.
E-visa (recommended route for most travellers):
- Apply at evisa.gov.vn: official government portal
- Cost: $25 single entry / $50 multiple entry, valid up to 90 days
- Processing time: 3–5 working days, longer through Nov–Feb
- Passport: needs 6 months' validity and 2 blank pages from your arrival date
If you'd rather apply in person: VFS Global's Bangalore centre, on Bannerghatta Main Road near Sarakki Industrial Layout, J.P. Nagar, handles Vietnam visa applications and biometrics for travellers who prefer this over the online route—mainly useful for business visas or longer-stay categories.
Apply for your visa before locking in non-refundable flights — approvals are rarely rejected with clean documents, but there's no reason to build bookings around an approval you don't have yet. If you want more details, check out the full Vietnam e-Visa guide for Indians.
Best Time To Fly Vietnam From Bangalore
- November–April: Dry season, most reliable weather, also the highest flight demand and fares
- May–September: Short, heavy afternoon showers rather than washed-out days; fares from Bangalore tend to soften here
- March–April, and September: Fare-tracking data across multiple platforms consistently shows these shoulder windows carrying the lowest round-trip prices—worth targeting if your dates are flexible

How Much Does The Bangalore To Vietnam Trip Cost?
| Expense | Approx. Cost (per person) |
| Round-trip flight | ₹12,000 – ₹32,000 |
| E-visa | ~₹2,100 (single entry) |
| Hotels (mid-range, per night) | ₹2,500 – ₹4,500 |
| Local transport (Grab, buses) | ₹500 – ₹1,000/day |
| Meals | ₹800 – ₹1,500/day |
| eSIM | ₹500 – ₹800 for the trip |
A 6-night trip covering Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, and Ha Long Bay typically runs ₹45,000–65,000 per person before shopping or optional add-ons. If you’re planning a pocket-friendly trip, check out our popular Vietnam Budget tour packages from Bangalore for availability.
Things That You Must Know Before Going To Vietnam From Bangalore
WanderOn’s trip captains highlight these core issues for travellers as soon as they arrive in Vietnam. Follow these essential Vietnam travel tips before you land:
- Time zone: Vietnam is 1.5 hours ahead of India—factor this into a night flight, since it cuts into your sleep window more than expected
- eSIM: Buy one before you fly rather than hunting for a counter at 6 AM in an unfamiliar airport
- Power plugs: Vietnam uses Type A/C/D sockets, different from India's Type D/M — carry a universal adapter
- Baggage: VietJet's base fare usually excludes checked baggage — add it during booking, not at the airport, where it costs more.
Between flights, visas, and gateway cities, that covers how to reach Vietnam from Bangalore end to end—if you'd rather skip the planning, WanderOn’s Vietnam tour packages from Bangalore handle it for you. You can also browse our Vietnam group tours from Bangalore for fixed-departures and itineraries.
