Linked by the mighty Mekong River and encompassing Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos, Indochina is exotic, adventurous and never boring. Place it at the top of your travel list and you can look forward to a warm welcome from friendly locals, understand how traditions and culture intermingle with a French colonial past, explore landscapes littered with fascinating sites, structures and relics, and enjoy palmfringed beaches many of which remain blissfully uncrowded.
132 Indochina
Staggeringly beautiful and full of intrigue, Vietnam has a profusion of riches. Modern metropolises tempered by colonial architecture and tree-lined boulevards, verdant valleys and fascinating hill tribe villages, attractive coastal resorts and tranquil, meandering rivers all combine to great effect. And, then there’ s the food, whether it’ s slurping spicy noodles from a street stall or feasting on flaky croissants at a French patisserie, Vietnam has all the ingredients for a memorable holiday.
Cambodia’ s bounty of treasures includes steamy jungles sheltering iconic ancient temples, idyllic tropical islands and little-known seaside towns where seafood is the dish of the day, charismatic cities with elegant colonial architecture, and lush national parks for wildlife and conservation.
Utterly compelling, bite-size Laos is a unique blend of enchanting natural beauty, with a refreshingly slow pace of life, glittering temples and cultural rituals such as saffron-robed monks silently collecting alms at dawn.
