Tailor made Holidays to Indo China
Vietnam, Cambodia & Laos
Indochina is a magical part of South East Asia, comprising lands of
temples, traditions, inspiring scenery and beautiful coastlines, side
by side with alluring cities.
Vietnam offers a rich array of scenic and cultural highlights, from the
colourful hill tribes of Sapa in the north to the vast canal network of the
Mekong Delta in the south. It has World Heritage sites at Halong Bay,
with its towering limestone islands, and at Hoi An, a traditional fishing
village of cobbled streets, artisan workshops, vibrant floating markets
and excellent cuisine. Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon)
are both beguiling cities of French colonial elegance that provide
excellent bases for exploring and sightseeing. For the beach lover there are sweeping stretches of sand along the
central coast where the clear turquoise water is ideal for snorkelling
or scuba diving, and the old colonial hill station of Dalat provides a
cool retreat amongst spectacular mountain scenery. The highlight of Cambodia is the astonishing temple complex of
Angkor, a legacy of the once thriving Khmer Empire. Visit in the early
morning to see the sun rise over Angkor Wat, a once in a lifetime
experience. Nearby, the welcoming and picturesque market town
of Siem Reap offers a wealth of local interest and markets. Between Cambodia, Vietnam and Thailand is Laos - friendly and
relaxed, a hidden treasure as yet unspoilt by the modern world.
The former royal capital, Luang Prabang, is a World Heritage site
dominated by temples and palaces, whilst atmospheric Vientiane,
the slow paced modern capital beside the Mekong River, is equally
endowed with museums and temples.
All three countries offer charming luxury hotels, spa resorts and villas,
and are easily accessed by short flights from Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur
or Singapore.
