About the trip

This small-group escorted tour by Explore Worldwide covers Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia, moving slowly enough to take in the distinct rhythms of each place. It begins in Vientiane, where French colonial buildings stand beside golden temples and bicycles outnumber cars. From there, travel by the new Boten-Vientiane railway and riverside roads to Luang Prabang, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with a coffee culture that invites long, quiet pauses.

Vietnam follows, starting in the narrow, fragrant streets of Hanoi and moving on to Cat Ba island and Lan Ha Bay before an overnight train to Hue. The sights range from the Imperial Citadel to the Ocean Cloud Pass and the five Marble Mountains before the ancient trading port of Hoi An and its faded merchant houses. The journey concludes in southern Vietnam’s Mekong Delta and Ho Chi Minh City, and the sprawling Khmer temple complex of Angkor Wat in Cambodia, where the tour ends in Siem Reap.

The itinerary's mix of trains, boats, scooters and rickshaws passes through both the major historic landmarks and the quieter scenery beyond, with moments as varied as dawn alms-giving in Luang Prabang and the underground war tunnels near Ho Chi Minh City. Days range from busy city sightseeing to freer afternoons for soaking up local life or walking in caves and countryside.
