Vietnam has been added to the list of Traveler magazine’s top 50 tours of a lifetime in the regional listings for Asia.
The May-June 2011 issue describes the tour’s itinerary of beautiful landscapes of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, a trek through the bio-diverse Hoang Lien National Park, a voyage aboard the Dragon’s Pearl to view the limestone peaks of Halong Bay, and a stop at rural Black Hmong villages to meet members of the Zay hill tribes.
Selected from thousands of tours around the world, Traveler tours “are an antidote to the average.” Offered by outfitters with solid reputations in the industry, they offer a brief but deep immersion into far-flung cultures and transformative experiences.
The magazine searched for tours (including volunteer, adventure, family, and small-ship trips) designed for experience, immersion, sustainability, and cultural connection. There’s bound to be at least one that is right for you.
