| Overview |
This is the big one. Four countries - the "jewels of Indo-China" in thirty three days. Another exciting and memorable trip, this time taking in Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia with their breathtaking contrast in cultures, history and scenery. The tour opens in Thailand among the khlongs or canals of the capital Bangkok. After a days sightseeing and a visit to The Bridge over The River Kwai we head to Chiang Mai for trekking among the hillside villages of the north. Here we travel by foot, raft and on elephant back to spend time amongst the tribal villages, witnessing at first hand their culture and customs, and staying in traditional Thai minority family homes. On to Laos, the 'forgotten country', and "land of a million elephants", where the highlight is a trip along the Mekong in a boat so that you can fully enjoy its waters, scenery and people. There are also trips to Luang Prabang with its monks in their bright orange robes going about their religious rituals and the sleepy capital Vientiane, with its wide boulevards. In Vietnam we visit Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum in Hanoi, and then on to the beautiful limestone islets that have made Halong Bay a World Heritage site, spending the night on a traditional junk. Hue, with its cultural heritage, is followed by quaint Hoi An and then a night in Nha Trang, famous for its miles of white sandy beaches. Next we journey inland to Dalat in the Central Highlands to enjoy the cooler mountain air. Moving on to Ho Chi Minh City - formerly Saigon - we enjoy the electric atmosphere of this dynamic city. Cambodia, on the final leg, offers one of the richest cultural legacies in South East Asia.The highlights are Phnom Penh, the capital - containing many memories of the countries violent past - and by contrast the spectacular fabled city of Angkor, home to many exotic religious monuments and the eighth wonder of the world.
