Treat your senses to living amidst the untainted glories of Vietnam.
Your tour guide through an unspoiled Vietnam where rice fields, blue horizons, and
incredible caves dominate the vistas.
Mai Chau Valley
The quintessence of rural Vietnam, Mai Chau is a pastoral and serene recluse to some utopia of your desire. The alleys are best for morning saunters as the village slumbers quietly. Local vendors serve amazing ca phe phin or Vietnamese coffee and freshly prepped farm dishes like a fried cicada delicacy. The valley has plenty of homestays to soak in the blue mountain silhouettes.
Thung Khe Pass is tucked amidst nowhere and is nature's abode. A trip here assures a day spent in the company of local tribes. Eating authentic Vietnamese delights at food shacks, photographing the mighty white cliffs, and driving through the rugged mountain roads. Tais are talented weavers and churn out amazing silk textiles in rich colors and designs.
Cao Bang Province
Cao Bang is an adrenaline rush owing to the geo-cultural sites and waterways that meander through the region. It is a spectacular place to navigate on foot, which will feel like heaven if you have spent the previous days whiling away in the sleepy village counterparts. Nguom Ngao Cave, which spans 2,144 meters, and Thang Hen Lake channel are two noteworthy beauties beaming with different shades of hues.
The latter is a network of 36 lakes connected through passageways and caves, and is dotted by rocks jutting out or fishing communities going about daily tasks. The city is comparatively busy, echoing with a distinct happy cacophony.
Lam Dong Province
The quaint, touristy province is abundant with nature's bounty. Datanla Falls, Cat Tien Park, Linh Phuoc Pagoda, and Thien Vien Truc Lam are the most spellbinding places to experience a pastoral Vietnam away from its cityscapes, commercial centers, and cafes lined up in the streets.
Dong Thap Province
Dong Thap has a plethora of regions blooming with natural wonders. Sa Dec Flower Village is a burst of colors and idyllic, as about 2,000 households earn a living out of growing and selling flowers. Acres of land are swamped with chrysanthemums, dahlias, hydrangeas, orchids, and tiger tail chrysanthemums.
The next stop is Huynh Thuy Le's ancient house, which was built in 1895 and restored decades later in 1917. Designed in compliance with Eastern architecture, its designs and ornaments, like golden lacquer paintings, draw tourists. Kien An Cung Pagoda and Pho Bang Mausoleum are the next two destinations before you wrap up Dong Thap.
