Vietnam is now a popular tourist destination for travellers who want to discover Southeast Asia. It has landscapes and natural sites of exceptional beauty, and its unique and rich population is always ready to welcome and share its culture with those who wish to better understand the country's history. When you think of Vietnam, you can easily think of the images of the sublime Halong Bay, but the country also has many secrets to reveal. What if you enjoyed a stay with ECM voyages to get off the beaten track and conquer a confidential Vietnam, a wonderful site that is still too unknown and simply make this experience a unique one?

Let yourself be surprised by a remote Vietnam

Vietnam offers the opportunity to venture into little-known regions. For travellers, it is a real adventure that is offered, full of surprises. In the superb nature reserve of Pu Luong, you can ride a bike or take advantage of long walks to see a multitude of landscapes: deep valleys, rice terraces, thick jungles or soothing small rivers. Later, we get lost in the small Mai Chau valley, where the rice fields are surrounded by mountains and where the houses on stilts attract attention. And then there is the very special atmosphere of the villages where you are sure to escape mass tourism. We find the most beautiful houses on stilts in the villages of Don or Buoc. Here, the buildings seem to integrate perfectly with the natural environment and dense vegetation. Far from cities that are turning towards modernity, we are invited here to practice ecotourism, to respect nature and to immerse ourselves in an authentic Vietnam.

Enjoy memorable experiences

A tour of confidential Vietnam also means living special experiences. That of crossing the splendid bay of Lan Ha on a private junk. In the comfort of this magnificent traditional wooden boat, you can pass not far from the islands and green islets before stopping on small coves and deserted beaches. Upon returning to Earth and escapades to traditional villages, contact is made with the Muong and Thai ethnic groups. The best way to be in communion with these smiling populations is most certainly to spend the night with the inhabitants, to live at their own pace and to find ways to exchange, to be understood, to learn, especially around a good meal where you can enjoy and marvel at all the subtleties of Vietnamese cuisine.
