VIETNAM TRAVEL & CULTURE SERVICES TARIFF 2006-2007

EXTENSION FROM HANOI

TRAVEL & CULTURE “6 DAYS GEMS OF THE NORTH EAST” – VTN6021

(Daily departure on private tour, with full board)

**

Hanoi – Ba Be Lake – Cao Bang – Ban Gioc Waterfall – Lang Son – Halong - Hanoi

Most tourists coming to Vietnam do not visit the Northeast. The highlands of the Northeast are little known and a little bit off the beaten track. A big surpise considering that the scenery in this part of Vietnam is one of the country’s most beautiful. An overnight stay on a traditional wooden junk in Halong Bay remains one of the highlights of every Vietnam trip.

Note: Road conditions are not always good on this trip and the accomodation in simple hotels and guesthouses.
