Essence of Vietnam: A Tapestry of Culture and Nature

In February 2025, Ms.Mirela Jubani and her group of 14 travelers embarked on a remarkable 16-day voyage through Vietnam, uncovering the soul of a country where tradition and modernity intertwine. From the winding alleys of Hanoi and the misty trails of Sapa to the serene rice paddies of Ninh Binh and the shimmering waters of Halong Bay, every destination offered a new facet of Vietnam’s charm. Along the way, the group strolled through imperial relics in Hue, wandered the lantern-lit streets of Hoi An, and immersed themselves in the vibrant energy of Saigon. With each stop, they were welcomed by the warmth of local people, rich cultural experiences, and unforgettable natural beauty — a journey that captured the true essence of Vietnam.
