Laos & Vietnam

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Laos and Vietnam are two of Southeast Asia's most compelling destinations, stretching from the landlocked Mekong river valleys and forested highlands of Laos to Vietnam's dramatic 3,200-kilometre coastline, limestone karsts, and bustling cities. Laos is known for its unhurried pace, ancient Buddhist temples in Luang Prabang, and trekking through remote hill-tribe villages, while Vietnam draws travellers with the chaotic energy of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, world-class cuisine, and iconic landscapes like Ha Long Bay and the Phong Nha caves. Together they offer a rich mix of history, culture, and adventure, from slow-boat journeys on the Mekong to motorbike rides along the Hai Van Pass. The overland route connecting the two countries is a classic Southeast Asian journey for independent and group travellers alike.

A self-launched version of On The Go Tours' 16-day Laos-to-Vietnam itinerary, covering Vientiane, Vang Vieng, Luang Prabang, Hanoi, Halong Bay, Hue, Hoi An, the Mekong Delta and Ho Chi Minh City. Everything the group tour includes — city temples, the Blue Lagoon, the Living Land rice-farming experience, a Halong Bay junk cruise, the Reunification Express sleeper train, Hoi An's Tra Que cooking class and a Mekong sampan — is bookable yourself, and you go at your own pace with a small-group or solo bed. Costs are rough backpacker-level estimates in GBP and exclude international flights to/from the region.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Laos & Vietnam yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn a completely impractical skill from a local — fire spinning, competitive coconut opening, whatever — and become weirdly good at it."
