From Phở to Paddy
Our colleagues in Vietnam have long waxed lyrical about the dramatic scenery, unspoilt natural beauty and traditional cultures of their country’s remote northern regions.
We love the thrill that comes from getting even a little way off the well-trodden path, and in ever-popular Vietnam it’s areas like Mu Cang Chai and Ha Giang that offer the best opportunities to do that. Although gradually starting to open up to more visitors, their remote locations and journey-intense routes set natural limits, meaning that the rewards of these areas are still the preserve of the intrepid few.
