subject: Vietnam Adventure Tours [print this page] Vietnam is the easternmost country located on the Indochina Peninsula in the Southeast Asian region and has a rich legacy of historical locations, spectacular beaches, natural and lush countryside, and the lively and ever bustling cities. Vietnam has a lot to offer for all types of travelers and tourists, be it adventurous or otherwise.
One of the important and historical places to visit in Vietnam is the Cu Chi tunnels located at the outskirts of Ho Chi Minh City, formerly known as Saigon. Cu Chi tunnels are a complex network of underground tunnels that were strategically used by the Vietnam armed forces during war times, especially during Tet Offensive. A video presentation before the actual tunnel tour emphasizes the strategic mastery of the tunnels. The actual crawling tour of the tunnels, though seems easy at start, becomes difficult due to inadequate natural light and the unknowing ascents and descents of the tunnel. But at the end of this walk through the underground ravines, you will know more about the conflict that took place in Vietnam and respect it.
Another adventurous spot is Vietnams highest peak, Mount Fansipan, which is located in a town called Sapa in Northwest Vietnam. You can travel by train from Hanoi to Lao Cai and either take a train to uphill Sapa or go biking. On your way to Sapa, you will encounter several tiny villages having great cultural importance and people belonging to traditionally rich tribes. All the way, you are in the midst of picturesque locations, splendid natural vegetation, paddy fields, mountain terrains and scenic water falls which make your biking ride pleasant and challenging. This entire journey lasts for around eight days but leaves you with ever lasting memories.
If you are interested in marine adventures, then Phu Quoc Island is the best place to be. Its warm turquoise waters make it a pleasant viewing experience but the fantastic scuba diving and snorkeling experience is beyond imagination. You can also avail of beach massaging and other such services if you wish to. Such diverse destinations make Vietnam one of the best places to be.
