A vast area almost 290.228,4 miles square, a jigsaw of 3 states of Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia, Indochina is a destination which will always delight and thrill. If you have never been to Indochina and you are curious about what it is like, here is a glimpse into the Indochinese way of life. While the experience of visiting the Indochina cannot be the same as living in it, these fascinating reasons will convince you that an Indochina tour Vietnam is well worth.
Indochina is undeniably gorgeous
When I ask someone overseas where in Indochina they want to visit, almost everyone will focus only on the same big cities and hotspots including Hanoi – the capital city of Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City, Halong Bay, Phnom Penh, or Siem Reap – the gateway to the Angkor Wat and the UNESCO Heritage Site itself. It is understandable why you want to visit these top tourist attractions in Indochina, especially if it is your first time in our countries but actually, there is so much more to Indochina that makes it such a great destination.
Still dreaming about that Indochina vacation you have promised yourself ever since the beginning of 2018? Well, how about stop dreaming and start planning to transform your Indochina dream vacation into reality right now?
Indochina is full of hidden gems
It is has been decades since the Angkor Wat, Halong Bay, and Luang Prabang became these firm favorites on the tourist trail, but other picturesque Indochina’s spots are still off most travelers’ radars. If you find a hidden gem one of the joys of traveling, Indochina is full of them to make you excited.

Along back roads and far out farmlands is a tranquil collection of temples, pagodas, ceremonial gates, streams, traditional wooden houses, and gardens that do not get much attention they deserve. Seated in the heart of the natural wilderness are abandoned sites – the most majestic places in the area, with serene and blissful surroundings, often passed by as they are seemingly considered meaningless! But you never know when you could be missing out on an incredible occasion to know more about a hidden gem among what appears to be a plot of nothingness.
Indochina has an extraordinary calendar of festivals
Even a short tour of Indochina can expose the travelers to a multitude of festivals. For the first days of the 1st month of the lunar calendar, Vietnam is exactly where you want to be to see how Vietnamese celebrate Tet Nguyen Dan – our biggest festival of a year. At the Water Festival (Bonn Om Touk) in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, you can treat yourself to a food feast with fireworks, celebrations, fluvial parades, boat races, and general merriment and take in the wholesome carnival atmosphere. You could also visit Laos for Pi Mai Lao – Lao New Year – the largest festival in the country – that is just to name a few of interesting festivals to enjoy on your Indochina tours. In 2018, there is no wrong time to fulfill your wishes.
