Southern Vietnam Holidays
The south of Vietnam is almost entirely centred on, and heavily influenced by, Ho Chi Minh City – the nation’s most modern, populous and cosmopolitan city – yet travel outside of Ho Chi Minh City and there is an incredible diversity of landscapes, traditions and experiences to discover. Nearly all visits to the region will incorporate time in Ho Chi Minh City. Originally a Khmer settlement that until recently was known as Saigon, this is an energetic forward-facing city which blends commerce and culture. To the south of Ho Chi Minh City are the river communities of the Mekong Delta. This unique area, synonymous with the southern portion of the country, spreads south from the city and meets the South China Sea in a warren of atmospheric twisting canals, palm groves and paddy fields. This is also the starting and end point of a number of Mekong River cruises of varying lengths to and from Cambodia. Further to the north, the minority villages that surround Dalat, Buon Ma Thuot and Kon Tum provide a fascinating opportunity to experience and learn about traditional Vietnamese rural highland life. Pettitts Travel specialises in providing bespoke tailor-made holidays to Vietnam and tours to the wider region of southern Vietnam.
