Trip Info
This trip is a combination of touring, hiking, learning about the local history and culture, and optional kayaking and swimming. The hiking is in Vietnam’s Sapa region and on the last day in Cambodia. You’ll hike about 2.5-3.5 hours each day on dirt roads and paths that can be muddy with rocks and ruts with both downhill and uphill sections, but not any significant elevation gain. Some sections can be slippery, especially if there has been recent rain. You’ll also do a lot of walking to explore Angkor Wat, which can feel significant with the steps and the humidity. The trip is rated a 2 and is suitable for any woman who regularly walks at a brisk pace 3 to 4 days a week for 35 - 45 minutes and there are typically 3 to 5 hours of daily activity. Patience, flexibility, and adaptability will be great to bring with you!

We will be staying in modern, tourist hotels in Hanoi and Siem Reap that are double occupancy and have en suite bathrooms.

The cabins on the sailing will be tighter accommodations than in hotels, but with your own private ensuite in each room. There are 4 single supplements available for this trip but they do not include the two nights on the boat due to limited capacity there.

DAY 2
We will get an early start today, as is the local custom, and head towards Hoan Kiem Lake. This freshwater lake, located in the heart of the city, is a peaceful spot where many locals—especially women—begin their morning routines and practice tai chi. As we cross the iconic Rising Sun Bridge to visit the Ngoc Son Temple, we'll try to spot one of the endangered large soft-shell turtles, which is considered quite auspicious. Afterwards, we'll stop at a charming coffee shop to try Vietnamese iced coffee, or if you're feeling more adventurous, an egg coffee!
Continuing our walking tour, we'll explore Hanoi's Old Quarter, with its picturesque crooked lanes, charming colonial architecture, and the enticing aromas of street food—it’s a sensory delight! We'll stop along the way for a traditional lunch before visiting the Temple of Literature.

Its gardens and well-preserved architecture offer a fascinating glimpse into Vietnam's past. Next, we’ll visit the Vietnamese Women's Museum, and if time allows, the Hoa Lo Prison. Our day concludes with a refreshing draft beer—bia hoi—and a tasting of some of the delicious local specialties.

Constructed in the early 12th century and mysteriously abandoned two centuries later by the Khmer civilization, Angkor Wat is now one of Cambodia’s most iconic attractions.
After a full day of walking through the Angkor complex, we’ll return to our hotel to freshen up before heading to Chanrey Tree restaurant for dinner. But the day doesn’t end there! A visit to Siem Reap wouldn’t be complete without experiencing a performance by Phare, the Cambodian Circus. Founded in 1994 by eight young Cambodians returning from refugee camps along the Thai border, Phare is a non-profit arts organization providing education and professional training to local youth. This high-energy performance, filled with emotion, enthusiasm, and talent, is sure to leave a lasting impression.

DAY 10
Today, our journey through the fascinating history of the Khmer Empire continues at what is considered its birthplace—Phnom Kulen National Park. We will drive approximately 1.5 hours north of the city, stopping first at the Angkor Centre for Conservation of Biodiversity, Cambodia's first nature conservation center. During our visit, the knowledgeable and passionate staff will guide us through their efforts to rescue, rehabilitate, breed, and release native wildlife, as well as provide an up-close look at the animals in their care.
Next, we’ll hike along the River of a Thousand Lingas to a stunning waterfall, where you can take a refreshing swim or dip your feet in the cool waters. Along the way, we’ll learn about the Lingas—symbols of fertility—carved directly into the stone riverbed.

This was truly a trip of a lifetime! Fantastic adventure with loads of activities, great guides and wonderful travel companions. Amazing to experience the different regions of northern Vietnam and especially exciting to be amidst the ruins of the Angkor Wat complex. From the heights of Mt. Fansipan to kayaking in Ha Long Bay to being mesmerized by the Phare circus performance, this was an incredible experience!

At age 68, this was my first hiking trip, which felt like such a personal milestone. I had never thought I would travel to Asia—it wasn’t even on my bucket list—but the experience was absolutely amazing! The stunning landscapes, rich cultural immersion, and the sense of accomplishment from the hikes made it unforgettable. It was a journey of surprises and growth, proving to myself that it's never too late to try something new.

I had never been to Vietnam or Cambodia, so there was a wonderful excitement to being some place totally new. As much as I thought I understood about these two countries, it was amazing what I didn't know and got to learn along the way. The time in Hanoi gave you a real sense of the "city", street life, and culture. The mountains of Vietnam were beautiful as was Bai Tu Long Bay. Cambodia was a huge surprise. The ethos of the country was pervasive - it felt grounded, humble, and hopeful in ways that the history of the place would not lead you to expect. Of course, the overwhelmingly best special part of the trip was my fellow travelers!! All very interesting, accommodating, supportive, generous, smart, kind and so humorous. I will remember them long after I forget some of the facts we were told!

Common Questions
Breakfasts will be buffets consisting of western-style meals at the hotels and traditional meals while in the mountains and sailing the bay. Lunch and dinner will often feature traditional dishes, including pho and cha ca in Vietnam and amok and fried insects in Cambodia! More familiar dishes will also be available in the restaurants in the cities and will typically include vegetarian or non-vegetarian entrees.
Unfortunately, we will not be able to accommodate many dietary restrictions on this trip. With the help of our local partners, we can accommodate a vegetarian diet, but you should bring extra protein bars to supplement.
You only need to pay a single supplement if you want to guarantee you have your own room. Otherwise we’ll pair you up with someone and then switch roommates every time we switch lodging.
Hot, hot, hot! We will be spending a lot of time in the humid and hot weather of SE Asia. Be prepared for sunshine and humidity. Be sure to drink lots of water!
