An Overview of the Itinerary
The journey begins with an overnight flight from Chennai International Airport to Da Nang, Vietnam, via Singapore. Upon arrival, travellers will explore local sights like the Marble Mountains and My Khe Beach. The following days include a visit to the famous Ba Na Hills and the Golden Bridge. The group will then fly from Da Nang to the capital city, Hanoi, to visit historical sites like the Temple of Literature and Hoan Kiem Lake.

What's Not Included?
While the package is largely all-inclusive, travellers should budget for some additional expenses. The cost does not cover expenses of a personal nature, such as laundry services, phone calls, tips, and porterage fees. Any meals that are not explicitly mentioned in the detailed itinerary will also have to be paid for separately. Optional tours or activities that are not part of the pre-planned schedule are also excluded. It is also important to note that any charges related to flight schedule changes or delays by the airline are not covered by IRCTC, and refunds will not be provided for services missed due to such circumstances.
