Indochina Explorer: Vietnam, Cambodia & Laos 15-Day

Ho Chi Minh City → Vientiane 15 days Up to 12

About this trip

Three countries in fifteen days, moving from Ho Chi Minh City through the Mekong Delta up to Hanoi and Halong Bay, then on to Cambodia's Angkor temples and finishing in Laos around Luang Prabang and Vang Vieng.

It's a broad sweep rather than a slow exploration — war history, floating markets, colonial-era Hanoi, ancient temple complexes and laid-back riverside towns all feature, with a countryside stop in Mai Chau to break up the city time.

Good fit if you want a proper overview of Indochina in one go rather than committing to a single country in depth.

What you'll do

  • Walk the Cu Chi Tunnels used by the Viet Cong during the Vietnam War
  • Cruise the Mekong Delta and browse its floating markets
  • Explore Hanoi's Old Quarter, Hoan Kiem Lake and the Temple of Literature
  • Spend a night on the water on an overnight Halong Bay cruise
  • Wander the Angkor temple complex and the carved faces of Bayon in Angkor Thom
  • Visit Kuang Si Waterfall and Pak Ou Caves near Luang Prabang
Good to know
  • Fast-moving itinerary covering three countries — expect frequent transfers and base changes
  • Includes a rural break in Mai Chau's Ba Khan Village between the city legs
  • Hotel category (3, 4 or 5-star) is a choice, so comfort level can be adjusted without changing the route
What travellers actually say

Worth it if you want seamless logistics, excellent guides, and three countries in 15 days. Think twice if you prefer a slower pace—the Vietnam leg feels packed.

  • Drivers and guides consistently professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind throughout all three countries.
  • Hotels were high-standard, food excellent, and logistics ran on time with zero travel hassles or booking stress.
  • Vietnam itinerary felt almost too full; some beach areas crowded and touristy despite stunning scenery.
  • Laos portion lighter than Vietnam and Cambodia; guide went beyond brief to add unofficial sites and activities.
