Asia Tour Packages - Descriptions
Our package
tours make it easy for you to travel the length and breadth of Cambodia,
Laos, or Vietnam in a matter of weeks. You can sign up for the whole
tour and let us worry about the details, or you can customize the itineraries
to fit your interests. (See the "Options & Connections"
footnote on each page.)
- World
Heritage - Indochina (14-16
days).
Six unforgettable experiences in one tour: the highland capital
of Luang Prabang, the Khmer temples of Angkor and Wat Phu, the Cham
monuments of Central Vietnam, the restored trading port of Hoi An,
and the 19th-Century capital of Vietnam, all of them designated by
UNESCO as World Heritage Sites.
- Vietnam
Complete (3
weeks)
Give us 3 weeks and we'll give you the whole of Vietnam. In addition
to seeing most of the World Heritage sites in Vietnam, you'll have
more time to experience the sights and sounds of the country, including
an island odyssey near Nha Trang and home stays in the northern highlands
and the Mekong Delta.
- Laos
Discovery (5-9
days).
Too mountainous to be industrialized, too remote to be included
on the usual travel itineraries, Laos might well be called "the
undiscovered country." So much the better for us--now's the best
time to make the breathtaking journey to Luang Prabang!
- Cambodia
Essence (4-6
days).
Visit the capital city of Phnom Penh, and journey up the Tonle
Sap river to see the majestic temples of the powerful Khmer Empire
at Angkor.
- Vietnam
Essence (1-3
days).
A shorter version of our "Vietnam Complete" tour, this
will still get you to Hanoi, the ancient capital of Hoa Lu, the scenic
islands of Ha Long Bay, the Imperial City at Hue, the port town of
Hoi An, the Cham temples at My Son, the highland town of Dalat, and
the Mekong Delta.
Mix
& Match Tours
Our "Mix
& Match" tours are more of an "a la carte" plan,
allowing you to create your own dream vacation. Our list includes some
frequently overlooked destinations, such as the ancient Oc Eo culture
and the Khmer temples of the south, the spiritual retreat of Yen Tu
mountain, and the border regions of Cao Bang and Chi Lang in the north.
- City
of Hanoi morning and afternoon city tours (1-3 days).
There's plenty to see and do while in Hanoi--a cyclo ride through
the craft areas of the Old Quarter, water puppet theater, the colorful
Museum of Ethnology, and the ancient Temple of Literature.
- Pagodas
& History around Hanoi (4 days)
This series of day trips will take you to the north, south, east,
and west of Hanoi, where you'll stand on the ramparts of the ancient
city of Co Loa, take a boat trip to the famous Perfume Pagoda, visit
the mountain temple to the legendary Hung Kings, and visit the earliest
Buddhist sites.
- Ha
Long Bay & Yen Tu (2-3 days)
This tour combines the scenic beauty of Ha Long Bay (a World Heritage
site) and Yen Tu Mountain with sidetrips to historical sites and the
port of Haiphong.
- Ancient
Capitals (4 days)
Often ignored in tour itineraries, the scenic rural landscape
south of Hanoi holds many treasures, including the first capital at
Hoa Lu, the famous Bronze Age drums of Dong Son, the remains of the
Western Capital, and the temples and tombs of the kings of the Le
Dynasty.
- Northern
Highlands (9 days)
Your trip through these scenic highland regions offers spectacular
vistas, leisurely boat rides down mountain rivers, and visits to the
villages and markets of the colorful hill tribes.
- Cao
Bang & Lang Son (9 days)
A
Mikeland exclusive, this tour will take you to the "other"
northern highlands of Cao Bang and Lang Son. You'll visit the Chi
Lang Pass, where the armies of the Kublai Khan and the Ming emperor
were defeated, and explore the hidden realm of the Mac kings.
- World
Heritage - Central Coast (4 days)
With this tour, you can
visit three World Heritage sites that are within a 60-mile radius:
the Hue royal city and tombs, the great Cham temples of My Son, and
the restored trading port town of Hoi An.
- Central
Highlands (5 days)
Elephant rides, waterfalls, and the heritage of the hill
tribes await you in the cool Central Highlands of Vietnam. Visit Dalat,
Ban Me Thuot, Kontum, and Pleiku.
- Hue
Monuments (3 days)
Hue was the capital of Vietnam
during the Nguyen Dynasty (1800-1945). The Citadel, the royal palace
and the tombs of the Nguyen emperors make this a living museum.
- Cham
Discovery - Central Coast (9 days)
Stay at resorts on the beautiful beaches of Vietnam's Central
Coast while following the trail of the historic kingdom of Champa
(4th-15th centuries AD). Along the way you'll see famous Cham temples
at Qui Nhon, Nha Trang, and Phan Rang. This tour includes the World
Heritage sites of My Son and Hoi An.
- The
Mekong Delta & the South (5 days)
The "rice basket of the south" is also one of the most
culturally diverse areas in Vietnam. Our tour takes you up the river
from the Khmer temples of Soc Trang to Chau Doc, on the border with
Cambodia.
- Oc-Eo
Culture (1-2 days)
Take a quick sidetrip
to the little-known southwestern coast of Vietnam, where the kingdom
of Funan traded for Roman goods as early as the 1st Century AD.
- Cu
Chi & Tay Ninh (1 day)
This popular day trip to the northwest of Saigon will take you
to the largest cathedral of the Cao Dai sect, the famous Cu Chi Tunnels,
and the pagoda of Nui Ba Den (Mountain of the Black Lady).
- Ho
Chi Minh City (2-3 days)
Your
choice of morning or afternoon tours to museums, pagodas, and traditional
markets, capped off with boat rides and jazz in the evening.
