Mention code 6069713 | | Intrepid Travel | | | | Day | Destination | Description | | Day 1 | Hanoi | Immerse yourself in the chaos of the city streets or take a relaxing stroll around the mirror-like Hoan Kiem Lake. | | Days 2-4 | Halong Bay | Glide past stunning limestone islands, fill up on fresh seafood and splash in the salty green waters of the bay before spending a night on the jungle-clad island of Cat Ba. | | Day 5 | Sapa | This misty former hill station seems a world away from the rest of Vietnam. Meet friendly Blue H'mong and resplendent Red Dao tribespeople in the markets, selling handmade wares. | | Days 6-8 | Ta Van | It's a long trek along buffalo trails to our Giay homestay, but this unique cultural experience makes the hike totally worth it. Trek through the villages of the H'mong and Dao to learn about each tribe's distinct identity. | | Days 9-10 | Hanoi | Back in the capital, there's time to sight-see some more or shop before boarding the Reunification Express south. | | Days 11-13 | Hue | The former imperial city of Hue is home to all sorts of royal relics - a citadel modelled on Beijing's Forbidden City, the Nguyen emperors' tombs, and even a pair of royal chopsticks. Journey south, travelling over the spectacular Hai Van Pass. | | Days 14-16 | Hoi An | Historic Hoi An is an Intrepid favourite, home to over 500 shops and a whole host of ancient homes, halls and temples. | | Days 17-18 | Nha Trang | While away the hours on the stunning shores of the South China Sea, soaking up the sun or swimming in the crystalline waters. | | Days 19-21 | Ho Chi Minh City | Soak up the energy of Saigon's streets before immersing yourself in a world of underground warfare within the Cu Chi Tunnels. |
