Classic Indochina Experience24 days - from $3390Visiting Cambodia and Vietnam, this classic trip is one of our most comprehensive journeys in Indochina This is the epic Indochina experience, combining Cambodia and Vietnam. Siem Reap is the launching pad for an exploration of the magnificent Angkor Wat complex. The capital, Phnom Penh, shows us the face of a Cambodia that has recovered remarkably from the ravages of the Pol Pot era. Our last country is Vietnam, where we cross the border near Chau Doc and explore the waterways of the bustling Mekong Delta, before travelling up the length of the country, from exciting Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) to the capital Hanoi and spending a night on a boat in stunning Halong Bay. Along the way we visit hill retreats, coastal beaches, historic towns, quaint fishing hamlets and old imperial capitals – all parts of the kaleidoscope that make Indochina such a fascinating place to visit.
