BEST OF INDOCHINA: Laos, Vietnam & Cambodia

21 Days
Luang Prabang * Vientiane * Hanoi * Ha Long Bay * Hue * Hoi An * Saigon * Mekong Delta * Angkor

This old favorite combines the best of Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia. Arrive in the enchanting city of Luang Prabang, the historic, religious and artistic capital of Laos, with its misty mountains, golden spires, Buddhist pagoda festival and a wealth of textile shop houses. Visit dreamlike temples and hike up Phousi Hill for magnificent sunset views. Exchange travel tales in a French style café, enjoy the serenity at the ancient meditation caves of Pak Ou and admire the exquisite temples with intricate tile work before shopping at Vientiane's bustling market.

Arrive in the graceful old city of Hanoi and marvel at the splendid collection of colonial architecture. Wander the winding streets of the old craft quarter and reflect at the tranquil Tay and Thay Pagodas before cruising Ha Long Bay, studded with thousands of dramatic limestone islands and caves. Explore the palace complex in Hue and sail on the Perfume River to see Thien Mu Pagoda. Sample Hue's royal cuisine in a private home garden and amble along Hoi An's quaint streets lit with colorful lanterns. During the 17th Century Hoi An was an important art and trade center and its architectural gems incorporate Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese and French influences. Dine and shop at Saigon's (Ho Chi Minh) trendy hot spots and visit the eerie Cu Chi Tunnels that so tormented U.S. Forces during the America-Vietnam War. Cruise past floating villages and markets in the Mekong Delta and savor mouth-watering French-Vietnamese cuisine in a lovely old French garden villa.

Finally arrive in the lost city of Angkor, the seat of the Khmer Empire that once ruled nearly all of Southeast Asia. Explore these magnificent temple ruins by foot, elephant and hot air balloon and be astounded by some of the most inspired monuments ever conceived by man!
