From turquoise blue lagoons surrounded by lush greenery to iconic European landmarks, travel creators are showcasing destinations and experiences that inspire Indian travellers to explore the world. (Image Credits: Instagram) Vietnam has become one of the go-to international picks for Indian travellers chasing a holiday that doesn’t strain the budget, and it’s exactly that appeal that travel creator Animesh Pradhan leans into in his latest reel. Between the exchange rate, cheap flights and a daily spend that stretches far further than most Southeast Asian destinations, it’s easy to see why the country keeps showing up in “affordable abroad” content aimed at Indian audiences. The video opens on Pradhan in a scenic, hilly setting, green slopes, trimmed hedges and mountains in the background, reacting with an exaggerated, open-mouthed expression as text on screen reads “This Country will blow your mind for Indians” and jokes about Indians feeling like crorepatis once they land. There’s no itinerary or budget shown in the video itself. Instead, the caption asks viewers to comment the word “Destination,” with Pradhan promising to send a full itinerary and budget breakdown directly over DM.

Most people apply for an e-visa online, which costs $25 for single entry or $50 for multiple entries and usually takes about three working days to come through, valid at all major airports, land borders and seaports. Vietnam offers travellers scenic coastlines, turquoise waters and colourful waterfront architecture, with destinations such as Phu Quoc attracting visitors seeking island escapes and picturesque views. (Image Credits: Instagram) There’s also a narrower visa-free route for Phu Quoc Island specifically, letting Indian travellers stay there for up to 30 days without applying for anything, as long as they fly or sail in directly, stay on the island the entire time, and exit from Phu Quoc rather than through the mainland. Once there, Vietnam tends to work out cheaper day-to-day than a lot of other popular international destinations for Indian travellers. A backpacker-style trip, covering hostel stays and street food, typically runs between $30 and $50 a day, while a more comfortable mid-range trip with proper hotels and sit-down meals falls between $80 and $150 a day. Luxury travel starts from around $250 a day with no real ceiling beyond that. None of these figures come from Pradhan’s video itself, since the reel doesn’t name specific costs, but they give a sense of why Vietnam keeps showing up in this kind of “affordable for Indians” content. The reel has pulled in a modest 234 likes and 14 comments so far, with reactions ranging from simple emoji responses to people asking Pradhan to send the itinerary directly. One comment went further, asking which region of Vietnam deserves a slower, food-focused visit rather than a quick stop, suggesting at least some of the audience is engaging with the destination itself rather than just the format. A few others simply dropped heart and fire emojis, the kind of low-effort engagement that’s common on reels built around a single call to action rather than detailed information upfront.
