When you are trekking in Vietnam, trudge up to the Sapa highlands in the northern reaches of the country. In Vietnam, jungle trekking options are some of the most finest here. Your treks will take you through the primeval rain forests of this area, the pine and bamboo forests, past gurgling streams of crystal clear waters, plunging waterfalls and through quaint villages. Nature is at her finest here, bestowing all her good tidings on you.

Vietnam offers some excellent trekking opportunities, notably in its growing array of national parks and nature reserves. There ‘s plenty of opportunities to hike to minority villages in the northwest, northeast and centre highland regions. Anything is possible, from half-day hiking & trekking to a week ascent of Fansipan peak - Vietnam´s highest mountain. The best bases from which to arrange treks are Mai Chau, Sapa, Bac Ha, Cao Bang.

There are some awesome Vietnam jungle trekking trails, quite off the beaten route too, at the Pleiku highland area of central Vietnam. Solitude and sheer natural beauty reign supreme here and the exhilarating treks will also provide you opportunities aplenty to take a sneak peek into the fascinating lifestyle, customs and traditions of the ethnic tribes dwelling here. Modern civilization is yet to encroach in these parts, and this is evident not only from the virginal beauty of the forests, but also from the lives of the residents here.
