trekking tours in Vietnam

Spread the love

Vietnam offers more than scrumptious food, rich history and tradition. It is less known that there are some good hikes in Vietnam. Hiking in Vietnam includes the entire hiking spectrum that ranges from easy walks through historic villages and on scenic beaches to strenuous, long-distance treks in the jungle.

Vietnam offers good trekking and less stressful walks. The scenery is beautiful including highland valleys, rice paddies and Limestone Mountains. You can hike for half a day or climb the lofty Fansipan, Vietnam’s highest mountain. Northern Vietnam could be your best hiking bet as it has dramatic mountain paths and enthralling minority culture. Other than these, National parks and nature reserves have established trails. 

Here are some top hiking companies in Vietnam that you can connect to if you are planning a hiking trip in Vietnam:
