Event Highlights
Starting from Ho Chi Minh City, formerly known as
Saigon, we spend our rest four days exploring the
mountains and coastline of this beautiful
country, including a spectacular loop around the
city of Da Nang. Heading into neighboring
Cambodia, we cross the mighty Mekong River,
before arriving in Seem Reap where we will have a
free day to explore this vibrant city and the
awe-inspiring Angkor Wat temple complex, a UNESCO
World Heritage Site.

Event Highlights
From there, we press on northwards into Thailand
to Nikon Ratchasima before heading to Mae Sot,
close to the border with Myanmar. No visit to
Northern Thailand would be complete without a
stop in Chiang Mai where we spend the events
second leisure day in a very comfortable hotel on
the outskirts of the bustling city. We cross into
Laos and return to the Mekong River as we pause
in the nations capital Vientiane, before moving
on to Luong Prabang and then continuing along
minor roads to the very north of the country
where we pass back into Vietnam. The terrain will
look very different from that which we
experienced at the start as we head ever more
north following part of the Ho Chi Minh Trail.

Event Highlights
We tackle a spectacular 200-kilometre mountain
loop that includes Vietnams highest road, the
Tram Ton Pass, from our base in the market town
of Sa Pa with its iconic rice paddies. Then for
the next few days we blaze a trail through
spectacular and remote scenery before winding our
way down to Haling Bay, another World Heritage
Site. We plan to take in a day-long cruise
through the famous limestone isles on a luxury
boat on the penultimate day of our journey. From
there it only remains to take the highway that
leads us to Hanoi, where our grand colonial-era
hotel will be a real treat after four wonderful
weeks on the road.
