Can’t Miss Highlights in Both Vietnam and Cambodia
We at AESU have our “Secrets of Indochina” tour that provides an expertly crafted itinerary that will ensure you don’t miss any highlights
In Vietnam, our tour will include visiting Ho Chi Minh City, which is the largest city in the country. Here, you can explore the historic Cu Chi Tunnels, try some delicious food, and enjoy a scenic cruise along the Saigon River. You can’t miss Hanoi either, which is the capital of Vietnam. It has a blend of colonial architecture and a vibrant street life. There are can’t-miss traditional water puppet shows and cultural performances that date back centuries.
In Cambodia, you can’t miss Siem Reap and Angkor Wat. Here, you can witness the sunrise over Angkor Wat, which is the largest religious monument. Consider exploring the enigmatic Bayon Temple and the jungle-clad known as Ta Prohm.
What to Eat, Pack, and Expect Culturally
While traveling through Vietnam and Cambodia, prepare for an incredible combination of flavors, climates, and customs. From how hot bowls of Phot in Vietnam and crispy banh mi to Cambodia’s rich fish amok and seasoned lok lak, the local cuisine is as memorable and vibrant as the culture. Make sure you pack lightweight and breathable clothes for the tropical heat, along with comfortable walking shoes and modest clothes for possible temple visits. You must pack bug spray, sunscreen, and reusable water bottles as well.
