We invite you on an unforgettable journey from the south to the north of Vietnam. Over 11 days, we’ll cover more than 2 400 kilometers, exploring vibrant villages, majestic mountains, wild jungles, and terraced rice fields. Along the way, we’ll dive into local cuisine and culture and discover the true, authentic Vietnam.
Head north, opposite to the way the Viet Cong who were hiding in the jungle provided ammunition, weapons, men, and more to the south. This tour will make you discover the Central Highlands and some remote villages along the Laos border.
Stunning coastal landscapes offer an escape from the busy Ho Chi Minh City to start the trip, followed by deep primal forest jungles, lost valleys, and luxuriant countryside. Stops at the iconic Hoi An, the ancient capital Hue, and Phong Nha, which hosts the biggest cave in the world, will showcase the exceptional heritage of Vietnam.
