Vietnam’s Top Tourist Destinations
Our list of the top destinations in Vietnam packages will help you organise your sightseeing.
- Ho Chi Minh City
A visit to Ho Chi Minh City, the vibrant commercial hub of Vietnam, is a must-do for people who appreciate big cities. The shopping is the best in the country, the restaurant and café culture is highly international, and the streets are clogged with countless motorcycles and cars. The majority of the city’s attractions are concentrated in Dong Khoi, a central area that is small and easy to get around. The impressive Notre Dame Cathedral, constructed in the late 19th century, and the HCMC Museum, which has a beautiful collection of artefacts that depict the city’s history, are located here.
- Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park
Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park, listed as a World Heritage Site, is one of the best places in Vietnam to go caving. Inside this magnificent karst mountain formation, honeycombed with enormous caverns, are excellent stalactite and stalagmite displays. The park’s most prominent feature, the amazing 31-kilometre-long Paradise Cave, is it’s most extended. The caverns here are truly unique. The river that runs through Tu Lan Cave is a “wet cave,” meaning you can swim through it. Phong Nha Caves, where visitors enter via boat, is the second most popular excursion.
- Phu Quoc
The far south Vietnamese city of Phu Quoc is ideal for slowing down, grabbing a beverage by the water, and toasting a copper sun as it dips into the water. It is bordered by white sand beaches and azure waters, which weaken sunbathers in the knees. The island is relatively tiny and has both natural, unpolluted rainforest and some more modern, less tranquil additions, such as the longest over-sea cable car in the world and a Vietnamese Disneyland. Take to the red-dirt roads on a bike if you want to turn the action up a notch.
- Mui Né
One of the most recognisable sights in the town is the Red Sand Dunes, which are located naturally outside of Mui Né and provide sand-sledging practice and the option to rent dune buggies for an even more thrilling experience. Because it is so shallow, the fairy stream has a leisurely flow and feels almost like a promenade. Reach the waterfall at the end of the path, hidden between some surrounding fishing villages and imposing orange limestone cliffs.
Bhutan’s Top Tourist Destinations
Plan it now if you need help determining where to go on your vacation. You can use these travelogues to find the best Bhutan packages for the most memorable trip ever.
- Thimphu
The exciting city of Thimphu serves as the capital of Bhutan. The town, nestled on the upper Himalayan peaks, offers beautiful panoramas with emerald foliage and magnificent views of the Raidak or Chuu River. A cultural centre that shouldn’t be overlooked, Thimphu provides a unique combination of contemporary comforts and traditional charm. If you were a traffic officer, you might be startled to see them stop at a red light. It’s interesting to note that due to criticism and perceived hostility among the inhabitants, the red light in the city only lasted for three days before being replaced by a human traffic controller. The city is flooded with tourists eager to experience the distinct jewels of Bhutanese culture, food, and lifestyle.
- Punakha
Punakha, one of Bhutan’s other breathtaking locations, is a popular travel destination for thrill-seekers. For those who like the rush of river rafting, the Mo and Pho rivers are “the best place to be.” Punakha’s fortress Punakha Dzong, which stands momentously next to the Pho and Mo Chhu, makes the town famous. During the Bhutanese festival of Punakha Tshechu, this Himalayan town features masked dances and traditional music. There is a surreal feeling here, and many people come to experience it in addition to admiring the sublime natural beauty and learning about Bhutanese culture and history.
- Phobjikha Valley (Gangtey)
In Wangdue Phodrang, the bowl-shaped Phobjikha valley, which offers breathtaking views of endless stretches of green fields, is located next to the western Black Mountains. This location is home to the endangered black-necked crane throughout the winter. One of the few glacial valleys in the Kingdom of Bhutan is the Phobjikha Valley, also referred to as Gangtey. Except for a few cultural trips to Lhakhangs and Goembas, the Phobjikha Valley is home to many trekking and hiking paths with some of the most spectacular views of the surrounding area.
- Wangdue Phodrang
Wangdue Phodrang, one of Bhutan’s largest Dzongkhags (Districts), is home to many tourist destinations, including monasteries, temples, wildlife, and charming villages. Compared to other regions, this one is exceptional due to its enormous diversity, ranging from subtropical forests in the south to frigid, freezing areas in the north. Jigme Dorji National Park, in the southeast, and Wangchuck Centennial Park, in the north, are two of the many parks in the Wangdue Phodrang area that are home to many plants and animals.
- Dochula Pass
In memory of the Bhutanese soldiers who sacrificed their lives fighting Indian separatists, the breathtaking Dochula Pass is home to 108 Chortens or Stupas. Due to the wonderfully designed temple and stupas, which contrast with the stunning Gangkar Puensum peak in the background, the Dochula Pass is one of the greatest tourist sites in Bhutan. The Dochula Pass connects Punakha and Thimphu.
