Seventeen days through the very heart of Vietnam and Cambodia — from the misty mountain villages of Sapa and Mai Chau to the royal cities of Hue and Phnom Penh, ending among the temples of Angkor.
The journey begins in Hanoi before heading into the northern highlands: trekking the terraced valleys of Sapa and cycling between stilt houses in peaceful Mai Chau. The route then flows south through imperial Hue and lantern-lit Hoi An to Ho Chi Minh City, the Cu Chi Tunnels and the Mekong Delta. Crossing at Chau Doc, you will discover Phnom Penh’s riverside grace before the grand finale at Siem Reap and the wonders of Angkor.
