Itinerary
Fly to Hanoi
Hanoi: Exploring Vietnam's Capital City and Iconic Landmarks
Your journey takes off in the bustling capital of Hanoi. Once you have settled into the Silk Path Boutique Hotel, spend the afternoon weaving your way through the labyrinth of sites in the Old Quarter, accompanied by your private guide who with his niche knowledge, will pick out the top sites for you. Your senses will guide you through the countless sizzling street food vendors as you sample local delicacies such as pho and bun aha, which is a delicious dish of grilled pork with noodles. The following day your guide will show you Hanoi’s most culturally significant sites. Meander through the pristine courtyards of the Temple of Literature. Wander through the Ho Chi Minh Complex, comprised of vibrant botanical gardens, monuments and memorials with a real highlight being The One Pillar Pagoda, a historic Buddhist temple surrounded by vibrant gardens.
Accommodation: Silk Path Boutique Hotel ( 2 nights )
Sapa: Trekking Through the Breathtaking Mountain Landscapes and Meeting Local Hill Tribes
Leaving Hanoi, you’ll drive through one of the most mountainous regions in the country to the town of Sapa in the north. Your next two nights here will be spent learning about the hilltribes and meeting some of Vietnams ethnic minorities, all within this astonishingly beautiful setting. Aside from this, you will trek through mist-clad peaks and cascading tea plantations. Your base for these two nights is Topas Ecolodge, certified as a National Geographic Unique Lodge of the World.
Accommodation: Topas Ecolodge ( 2 nights )
Explore Hoan Kiem in Hanoi, Vietnam
This morning after an unrushed breakfast on the terrace, your driver will take you back to Hanoi for the night. Stretch your legs after the long journey with a stroll around the lush gardens of Hoan Kiem, the most outstanding freshwater lake in Hanoi. This is a wonderful place to people watch and you’ll often see people perfecting the martial art of Tai Chi.
Accommodation: Silk Path Boutique Hotel ( 1 night )
Discovering the Rich History and Cultural Treasures of Vietnam's Former Imperial Capital
Return to Hanoi and take a domestic flight down to the cultural and historic haven of Hue, which was once the capital city of Vietnam and delve into the culture of this fascinating place. Although the city was badly damaged during the America-Vietnam war, it is still teeming with exquisite temples, elegant palaces and ancient tombs. On your full day, your private guide will show you Hue’s most intriguing sites. You will board an extravagant dragon boat down the Perfume River and your senses will be tantalised as you float past aromatic flowers and foliage. Your base for three nights will be the Pilgrimage Village Boutique Resort and Spa. This is an authentic Vietnamese retreat located in rural Hue, away from the bustle of the city with a serene lakeside setting. From here you can spend your afternoon sinking into tranquillity in the pool or cycling around the rural villages.
Accommodation: Pilgrimage Village Boutique Resort & Spa ( 3 nights )
Hoi An: A picturesque town known for ancient architecture and cultural traditions
Continue by road to Hoi An, passing rolling hills and a patchwork of vibrant green rice paddies along the way. Your base for the next two nights will be the Anantara Hoi An Resort. Hoi An is a UNESCO World Heritage site and this wonderfully authentic city should be explored on foot. Amble down silk lantern draped streets, lined with traditional Japanese houses and Chinese teahouses. Along with your private guide, spend a day exploring the extensive ruins of My Son. Meander through this cluster of abandoned Hindu temples and stop and take in the sheer beauty of the area, encased by lush foliage and rolling hills.
