Sample Itinerary Ideas

  2. Adventure & Culture:
    Hike in Ha Giang or Sapa → boat in Ninh Bình → enjoy ancient streets in Hội An. Add a cave expedition to Sơn Đoòng if you're into off-the-beaten-path adventures.

Tips & Highlights

  • Food is central - think pho breakfasts in Hanoi, lantern-lit dinners in Hội An, and vibrant street bites in Saigon.

  • Local activities: Take a boat ride in Ninh Bình, bike through rice paddies, join a cooking class, go weaving, or try a basket boat experience at sunrise.

  • Cultural respect: Cover shoulders and knees in temples, take off shoes when entering homes, and support fresh food vendors for safety.

  • Weather prep: Bring light rain gear in the wet season, and warm layers if you're trekking in the north during winter.
