Vietnam is a popular tourist destination, but many unexplored places will amaze you.
So, here are some of the off-the-beat routes that you should not miss.
Mekong Delta
It is one the most colourful and welcoming regions of Vietnam; If you are interested, you can start your trip in Cái Bè, spend some days in a local homestay, before heading on to Sa Đéc, which features colonial-era villas, and bustling riverfront markets. After this, you can set off to Châu Đốc, where you will want to wake up early to witness the bustling floating market, and enjoy a tour of the pagodas and temples surrounding the area.
Phong Nha
Phong Nha, one of the world’s largest caves, was discovered here. Since then, this spot has seen a good flow of adventure seekers. Apart from this, this town and most parts of the surrounding areas are still less-explored and less-crowded. Here, you will get to check out clean and tidy farm stays set up between the rice fields, or you can also opt to stay in bamboo huts and swimming pools with a view.
Cao Bang
It’s the last town situated at the country’s northernmost tip, which also features the jump-off point to the largest waterfall in Southeast Asia. You can spend your day at this moment exploring this gem, strolling along with the riverside and sampling local delicacies.
Pu Luong
Pu Luong should be the best bet if you are looking for cozy homestays and lush rice terraces. It offers you a peek into the rural life of Vietnam’s ethnic communities. It will take just four hours to reach there from Hanoi, and this spot is dotted with cliffs and waterfalls, rice paddies, and scenic landscapes.
