Two countries, iconic heritage sites, spectacular landscapes and some of Southeast Asia’s most exciting cities—all packed into one carefully planned international holiday.
IRCTC has introduced a new “Wonders of Vietnam & Cambodia” tour departing from Chennai. The seven-night, eight-day package combines Vietnam’s beaches, limestone islands and energetic cities with Cambodia’s ancient temples and cultural heritage.
Scheduled from 17 to 25 November 2026, the tour covers Da Nang, Hoi An, Hanoi, Ha Long Bay, Siem Reap and Angkor Wat. Package prices begin at ₹1,51,250 per adult on triple occupancy.
For travellers who have always wanted to explore more than one Southeast Asian country but felt overwhelmed by visas, internal flights and transport planning, this package presents a convenient alternative.
Package name: Wonders of Vietnam & Cambodia
Duration: 7 nights and 8 days
Travel dates: 17–25 November 2026
Departure city: Chennai
Countries covered: Vietnam and Cambodia
Key destinations: Da Nang, Hoi An, Hanoi, Ha Long Bay, Siem Reap and Angkor Wat
Starting price: ₹1,51,250 per person on triple occupancy
International gateway: Chennai International Airport
The itinerary includes international flights, flights between destinations, road transfers, accommodation, meals, sightseeing, guides, visa charges and travel insurance, according to the published package details.
Vietnam and Cambodia complement each other beautifully.
Vietnam brings together tropical coastlines, French-influenced architecture, buzzing old quarters, striking mountain formations and peaceful bays. Cambodia introduces travellers to the extraordinary temples of Angkor and the cultural atmosphere of Siem Reap.
This tour moves through contrasting experiences without asking travellers to independently coordinate every hotel, airport transfer, visa and intercity journey.
One day may be spent admiring the Golden Bridge above the hills of Da Nang; another could involve cruising between the dramatic limestone formations of Ha Long Bay. The journey eventually leads to Angkor Wat—one of Southeast Asia’s most recognisable monuments.
The journey begins at Chennai International Airport on 17 November 2026.
Passengers will complete check-in, immigration and security formalities before boarding an overnight flight to Da Nang via Singapore. Travellers should arrive at the airport well in advance and carry printed as well as digital copies of all essential documents.
After arriving in Da Nang, the group begins exploring one of central Vietnam’s most appealing coastal cities.
The planned sightseeing includes:
Marble Mountains
My Khe Beach
Dragon Bridge
Han River waterfront
The Marble Mountains are a cluster of limestone and marble hills containing caves, viewpoints, pathways and places of worship. My Khe Beach offers a complete change of mood, with a broad coastline and relaxed seaside atmosphere.
Later, the illuminated Dragon Bridge and lively Han River waterfront introduce visitors to Da Nang’s more modern side.
The second full day in Vietnam brings one of the itinerary’s biggest highlights—Ba Na Hills.
Travellers can look forward to the famous Golden Bridge, known for its enormous stone hands appearing to hold the walkway above the mountains. The itinerary also covers the European-inspired French Village.
Later, the tour continues to Hoi An Ancient Town.
Hoi An is particularly atmospheric after sunset, when colourful lanterns begin glowing over its old streets and riverside. Its heritage buildings, small shops and pedestrian-friendly lanes offer a slower, more intimate experience than Vietnam’s larger cities.
After breakfast, travellers fly from Da Nang to Hanoi.
Vietnam’s capital has a more historic and traditional personality. Planned attractions include:
Temple of Literature
Hoan Kiem Lake
Ngoc Son Temple
Hanoi Old Quarter
The Old Quarter is often the most memorable part of Hanoi. Its narrow streets are filled with scooters, cafés, markets, local food stalls and small businesses. It can initially feel chaotic, but that movement is an essential part of the city’s character.
Travellers should leave some space in their appetite for Vietnamese coffee, pho, fresh spring rolls and bánh mì.
The group departs Hanoi for Ha Long Bay, one of Vietnam’s most celebrated natural attractions.
Travellers will board a cruise and sail among towering limestone islands rising from the water. The itinerary includes cave exploration, with an opportunity for kayaking or bamboo boating, depending on local arrangements and weather conditions.
The Ha Long Bay experience creates a welcome pause between several city-based sightseeing days. After completing the cruise programme, the group returns to Hanoi by coach for an overnight stay.
The journey continues with a flight from Hanoi to Siem Reap in Cambodia.
Siem Reap serves as the gateway to the Angkor Archaeological region, but the city also has its own personality. Travellers will find local markets, restaurants, cafés and cultural experiences alongside the area’s historic attractions.
The change from Hanoi’s lively streets to Siem Reap’s temple-focused atmosphere marks an interesting transition in the tour.
The Cambodia portion reaches its high point with a visit to Angkor Wat.
Originally constructed as a Hindu temple and later becoming an important Buddhist site, Angkor Wat is admired for its vast scale, symmetry, towers, galleries and intricate stone carvings.
This is not simply a place to stop for a quick photograph. Walking through the complex reveals new perspectives at almost every turn—from long corridors and carved walls to courtyards framed by lotus-shaped towers.
Comfortable footwear, sun protection and modest clothing covering the shoulders and knees are strongly recommended.
After breakfast and hotel check-out, travellers proceed to Siem Reap Airport for their return journey to Chennai via Singapore.
The flight is scheduled to arrive in Chennai on the night of 25 November 2026, subject to airline operations.
The reported tariff structure is:
| Occupancy category | Package price |
|---|---|
| Single occupancy | ₹1,75,200 |
| Double occupancy | ₹1,53,750 |
| Triple occupancy | ₹1,51,250 |
| Child with bed, 5–11 years | ₹1,31,500 |
| Child without bed, 2–11 years | ₹1,15,600 |
The package price reportedly includes 2% Tax Collected at Source, or TCS. Infant airfare is not included and must be paid directly to the airline. Passengers are also required to provide PAN details and submit the necessary TCS declaration form.
Travellers should verify the final payable amount, seat availability, exchange-rate-related conditions and current tax provisions at the time of booking.
The announced flight plan includes:
17 November: Chennai to Da Nang via Singapore
20 November: Da Nang to Hanoi
23 November: Hanoi to Siem Reap
25 November: Siem Reap to Chennai via Singapore
Published schedules show the outbound flight leaving Chennai at 11:25 PM on 17 November and arriving in Da Nang at 11:00 AM the following day. The return flight is scheduled to reach Chennai at 10:10 PM on 25 November.
Flight numbers and timings remain subject to airline operational changes.
Based on the published information, the tour includes major components such as:
International air tickets
Internal and regional flights
Hotel accommodation
Road transportation and coach services
Meals specified in the itinerary
Scheduled sightseeing
Guide or tour-escort services
Visa charges
Travel insurance
Applicable 2% TCS
The exact hotel names, room categories, meal plan, entrance tickets, baggage allowance and optional activities should be checked against the official booking document before payment.
A package can reduce planning stress, but international travellers should still read every condition carefully.
Your passport should meet the minimum validity requirements applicable to both Vietnam and Cambodia. It should also have sufficient blank pages for immigration and visa formalities.
Although visa charges are stated as part of the package, travellers should confirm which documents, photographs and forms they must submit and the deadline for completing the process.
The journey includes multiple flights operated by different airlines. International and regional sectors may have different cabin and checked-baggage allowances.
The itinerary includes airports, coach journeys, walking tours, steps and large temple complexes. Senior citizens and travellers with mobility or medical concerns should understand the daily activity level before booking.
IRCTC has reportedly stated that it will not provide reimbursement for delays, cancellations or airline changes that affect hotel stays, sightseeing or other tour services. Travel insurance coverage and policy exclusions should therefore be examined carefully.
November is generally a favourable travel period for several places on this route, but regional conditions vary. Central Vietnam can still experience rain, while Cambodia may feel warm during daytime sightseeing.
Pack lightweight clothes, comfortable footwear, sun protection, a compact umbrella and one modest outfit suitable for temples.
At over ₹1.5 lakh per person, this is not positioned as a budget backpacking holiday. Its primary appeal is convenience.
The package may suit:
First-time international travellers
Couples wanting a structured two-country holiday
Families who prefer escorted group travel
Senior travellers comfortable with the itinerary’s activity level
Travellers who do not want to separately manage visas, flights and transfers
Independent travellers may be able to customise their journey differently or spend longer in fewer places. However, that also requires significantly more research, coordination and responsibility when disruptions occur.
The value of this package therefore depends on what matters more to you: complete freedom or organised convenience.
Vietnam and Cambodia are two destinations that leave very different impressions.
Vietnam is energetic, scenic and full of contrasts—beaches one day, heritage streets the next and dramatic limestone landscapes soon after. Cambodia feels more reflective, especially when you stand among the centuries-old temples surrounding Angkor.
IRCTC’s eight-day itinerary attempts to bring these experiences together in a practical format for travellers departing from Chennai. It moves quickly, but it covers an impressive selection of Southeast Asia’s best-known sights.
Before booking, verify the latest itinerary, hotel information, visa process, cancellation terms, airline conditions and availability directly through the official IRCTC Tourism platform. Package details and flight schedules can change after publication.
