The scenery around the little known Mai Chau was breath taking in its scale and beauty. We saw the odd tourist van pulling into one of the villages, or the occasional cycling tour, but for the most part you’ll hardly see another westerner all day, if at all! The landscape is perfect for both cycling and walking, making it the ideal destination for those that appreciate the sun on their back and the trail under their feet! Take the road less travelled and experience this wonderful part of the world before it too gets consumed by the mighty dollar.

One Day in Nha Trang | Vietnam
It’s impossible to encompass everything that Nha Trang has to offer in the space of only a single day, yet this walking-tour itinerary does give you a pretty good insight into the neon-shrouded soul of the city. Beaches, markets, temples, art and a whole lot of food…it’s got the lot!
