Is a Vietnam Trip under ₹60,000 Really Possible?

Absolutely yes, if you plan smart, travel off-season, and use local transport instead of tourist packages.

Most of us assume that they will need around 1 lakh to travel to a foreign country. Well, Vietnam breaks this myth. The Vietnamese Dong makes daily expenses feel very cheap. The trick is knowing where to spend and where to save. Flights and hotels take up 60% of your budget, but food, transport, and activities are very affordable if you go local and avoid tourist traps.
