Northern Vietnam tours

Northern Vietnam is so different from Southern Vietnam that it could well be considered its own country. The majority of Vietnam’s 54 ethnic minority groups live in Northern Vietnam, spread throughout the mountains that ripple out from the capital city. Indeed, Hanoi city is an urban exception to the regional rule. Most of the cities in Northern Vietnam feel more like bubbles of human civilization carved out of the wilderness, wrapped by rugged jungle, ancient limestone karst mountains, and cascading rice paddy terraces that transform with the seasons from glistening mirrors of water to infinite shades of brilliant green and finally to the wholesome gold of harvest.
