Vietnam Unveiled: From Mountain Cultures to Coastal Heritage

In April and May 2025, a group of curious travelers embarked on a 15-day immersive trip to Vietnam through the country’s diverse landscapes and rich traditions, curated by Bellasia Travel. Starting from the vibrant capital Hanoi, the group took a night train to the misty mountains of Sapa, where they explored remote ethnic villages and admired the majestic peak of Mount Fansipan.

The itinerary continued through the cultural treasures of Northern Vietnam, including traditional craft villages and the spectacular Ban Gioc Waterfall in Cao Bang. From there, travelers enjoyed the serene landscapes of Ninh Binh and sailed among the wonders of the famous Halong Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

According to many Bellasia Travel reviews, the connection with nature and local communities is one of the most appreciated elements of this type of trip to Vietnam: authentic, dynamic, and far from the usual tourist trails.
