This is the best chance for a truly comprehensive, enlightening trip through Vietnam’s unique northwest region. This area is so full of history and interest that it’s really a shame to come to the north and not devote some time to the countryside. The road through the northwest is very good and the sightseeing opportunities are numerous. You’ll explore otherworldly landscapes, waterfalls and tribal villages which themselves offer a profound chance to learn about the unique customs of the ethnic minority communities.
