FAQ

Frequently asked questions

1. Can a 7-day trip cover from North to South Vietnam?

Yes, a 7-day trip can cover North to South Vietnam, but you should focus on key highlights to make the most of your time, such as: Hanoi, Halong Bay, Hoi An and Ho Chi Minh City.

2. When is the best time to hike in different regions of Vietnam?

At Kampá Tour, we recommend the following times for hiking in Vietnam based on our extensive experience:

North Vietnam: The best time to hike is in October, November, and December. The weather is cool and dry during these months, meaning the trails aren’t too muddy, and visibility is generally good.
Central Vietnam: We suggest hiking in the spring months of March, April, and May. It’s usually sunny but not too hot, and rainstorms tend to be brief.
South Vietnam: The south is hot all year, but there is some respite during the winter months of December and January, making this the best time to trek in this region.

These recommendations ensure you have a pleasant and enjoyable hiking experience across Vietnam.
