(This is an example of one of our tailor-made Vietnam holidays - we'll be pleased to design similar luxury vacations or value-for-money holidays with dates, itinerary, luxury travel and Vietnam travel information, all customised to your personal preferences)

Highlights:

 

Our tour to Vietnam's Northwest holiday includes Hanoi, take an overnight sleeper train to the north-west mountains, explore ethnic minority villages, visit local ethnic markets, hike and sleep in ethnic stilt houses

 

 Your Northwest Moutain holiday begins with......

....... a night in Hanoi, full day to explore the city and an orientation session before an overnight train journey.

Once you’ve arrived and settled in, we’ll provide you with some light but informative entertainment. On the following day, we’ll show you the sights of Hanoi and take you to the Ethnology Museum to prepare you for your excursion up into the mountains. In the evening, you’ll board the overnight sleeper train to Lao Cai.

Meals: one breakfast, one lunch.
Guide: transfers from the airport, a full day and transfer to the train

Four days in the mountains

The train arrives in Lao Cai very early in the morning, but breakfast and a shower will fortify you for a drive to a frequented market in a remote area. Then it’ll be back to Lao Cai and on up into the mountains to Sapa. You’ll spend the night in a moutain view hotel.

You’ll start by visit some of the many ethnic villages in the area. How you travel is mainly up to you. Hardy souls will probably want to trek, but other options are gentler hiking routes, biking, sitting on the back of a motorbike, jeep, an air-conditioned car. Of course, the more comfortable modes of travel limit your range.

You’ll sleep in local houses, usually communally in a large room. If there’s no other travellers booked in, you’ll probably have the place to yourselves, as some the house owners prefer a separate room.

Meals: four breakfasts, four lunches and three dinners
Guide: from meeting you at Lao Cai to helping you on to the train for your return journey to Hanoi, apart from one evening in Sapa

Return to Hanoi
Another early morning, but your hotel room will be ready for you to take a rest and breakfast, and you have time to do some souvenir shopping before your car arrives to take you to the airport.

Meals: one breakfast
