Our favourite country for backpacking is hands down Vietnam. This perfectly shaped nation has a natural vertical backpacker route from north to south, Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh. For first time travellers in Asia, Vietnam is a great place to start. Steaming bowls of pho, coffee sweetened with condensed milk, hectic cities crammed with scooters, rolling rice terraces and colonial towns await you in Vietnam.
Backpacking in Vietnam is incredible. This wonderful country will keep you captivated with its rolling rice terraces, beautiful landscapes, cultural and historical sites, bustling cities, steaming bowls of pho and addictive sweet coffee. In this guide, we share our 3-week Vietnam travel route and the best places to visit in Vietnam.
