How about a trip to Vietnam Far North
A Brief Summary
The far north of Vietnam, close to the border with southern China, is a dramatic world of dense forests and jungles, deep ravines, winding rivers, rice fields, cave systems and karst-filled lakes. The images taken here often typify what most people believe the whole of Vietnam to look like, but it is probably more evident and more unspoilt here than anywhere else in the country. If you’re looking for a holiday with loads of big towns and cities to explore and diverse cultures and foods to embrace, this probably isn’t the region of Vietnam you should focus on, but if you’re looking for an authentic, genuine experience of a fascinating country, in staggeringly beautiful landscapes, with insanely good value and great tasting food, coupled with friendly locals and miles upon miles of land and rivers to explore on foot, by boat or under pedal power, this is one heck of a place to come!

Winters last from Nov to Feb and see light showers but extensive cloud cover or fog, with temperatures of 21°c, occasionally reaching 30°c. From Apr to Oct the rains are heavier, with Jun to Sep very wet with daily downpours and temperatures between 32 and 37°c on most days, with nights at 24°c.
