About this trip
This 11-day route runs from northern Vietnam down to the Mekong Delta before crossing into Cambodia, taking in two countries' worth of history, temples and landscape in one go.
You start in Hanoi's Old Quarter and the hills around Mai Chau, then head out onto Halong Bay for an overnight cruise among the limestone karsts. From there it's south to Ho Chi Minh City, the Cu Chi Tunnels and the Mekong Delta, before finishing among the temples of Angkor.
It's a lot of ground to cover, so expect a trip built around seeing the major sights of both countries rather than lingering in any one place.
What you'll do
- Walk the Old Quarter and visit Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum in Hanoi
- Stay in a stilt house in Ba Khan Village, Mai Chau Valley
