Halong and Sapa: The Rustic Magic Of Vietnam

Halong and Sapa are the two holiday destinations in Vietnam that attract the most tourists from around the world. Both the destinations are different in flavour and thus offer something unique to the travellers. If you are planning to enjoy some peaceful and recreational time this holiday season, Halong Bay and Sapa are the places you must head to.


In Halong Bay, enjoy the most memorable cruise of your lifetime amidst emerald blue waters and amazing limestone structures. Get ready to experience splendid views of limestone karsts with bewitching shapes reflecting out from the waters. The views are sometimes clear and at times hidden a little by fog.

Located in northeastern Vietnam, Halong Bay is surrounded by Gulf of Tonkin on the south and southeast. Halong Bay, considered as one of the Seven Wonders of the World, is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Your cruise here will bring to you awe-inspiring natural beauty and magical experience. Halong Bay in Vietnamese language means ‘bay where the dragon descends into the sea’. You will be able to fancy the dragon immersing into the waters of the Bay.

Spending your time in this modern day paradise will indeed fill you with joy. Take a cruise in the various sailing options available at the Bay, such as Junk boats, mid-range boats and luxury ships. While cruising enjoy the floating villages, occult caves, limestone islands, lakes, pristine beaches and lots more.

                       
Sapa is a small and sleepy mountainous town in Vietnam that has over the years become quite famous for many travelers. Known for its beautiful landscape, Sapa also showcases rich cultural diversity. It offers breathtaking views of Hoang Lien Son mountain range and also lures travellers with rocky treks and other adventurous activities. When in Sapa, take a tour of lush green forests, rice terraces, vegetation and other natural wonders.

The best time to visit Sapa is June to October. In the summer season, expect to see a subtropical atmosphere when temperature ranges from 15.4ºC to 29.4ºC. In August, rain is more frequent in the area. From November to February, the weather is wet and foggy and mostly people avoid this period to see this country. After winter, the tourist season picks up and most of the budget and luxury hotels in Vietnam get filled. If you are travelling during this time, book your accommodation in advance.
