The optimal time to explore Vietnam is from October to April, when the weather is more temperate and dry across the country. If you're heading to the north, like Hanoi or Sapa, the cooler months of autumn and winter bring the best experience. In the south (Ho Chi Minh City, and the Mekong Delta), the climate is favorable year-round. However, the dry season (November to April) is quite pleasant for outdoor activities. Importantly, the best time depends on where you're headed!

You can’t visit Vietnam without trying Pho (noodle soup), Banh Mi (Vietnamese sandwich), Goi Cuon (spring rolls), and Bun Cha (grilled pork with noodles). Other local favorites include Com Tam (broken rice), Bánh Xèo (Vietnamese pancakes), and fresh seafood. Each region also has its specialty, like Cao Lau from Hoi An.

Indian travelers should show respect for elders, a value deeply rooted in Vietnamese culture. When visiting temples or sacred sites, it’s important to dress modestly, avoiding clothes above the knee. Shoes should be removed before entering homes or temples. Public displays of affection are uncommon and should be avoided, especially in rural areas. Avoid pointing fingers at someone’s face, as it is considered impolite. A handshake or slight bow is a respectful greeting, and gifts should be offered with both hands.

Vietnam has a tropical monsoon climate, so pack light, breathable clothing and bring a raincoat or umbrella, especially during the rainy season (May to October). Comfortable shoes are essential for exploring, and modest attire is needed for temples. Don’t forget sunscreen, insect repellent, and necessary medications. It’s also useful to carry some cash, as not all places accept cards.
