Perfect Blend of Culture, Nature and Adventure!

(4.5)
“This tour showed me parts of Vietnam most tourists never see! The coffee plantation visits were fascinating, and the countryside views were stunning. However, be prepared for some long drives on bumpy roads. The homestays were basic but clean - just manage your expectations regarding amenities. Our guide was wonderful at explaining local customs. I wish there was more free time in Buon Ma Thuot to explore the night market. Overall, a fantastic experience for adventurous travelers!”

Loved the cool weather and open spaces!

“Coming from hot, humid Hanoi, I didn’t realize how much I’d appreciate the Highlands’ cool air. Especially Măng Đen, it felt like an alpine town, but in Vietnam. I spent every morning just walking around before breakfast. Super peaceful and clean.”

The guide made the trip special

(5.0)
“Our guide really knew the area and spoke a few words of the local dialect, which helped a lot during village visits. He told stories about the different ethnic groups and even brought us to a local market that wasn’t on the itinerary. It didn’t feel like a scripted tour, which we appreciated.”

Simple, quiet, and really beautiful!

(5.0)
“I liked how natural this trip felt. No crowds, no rush. The highlight for me was walking through the villages near Kon Tum: kids waving, people cooking outside their homes. We slept in basic places, but they were clean and comfortable. It felt real.”

A peaceful side of Vietnam!

(5.0)
“This tour was the break I didn’t know I needed. The pace was slower, the air was fresh, and the places we visited felt far removed from the usual tourist trails. Walking through Kon Tum’s wooden church and old seminary gave me real insight into Vietnam’s history and culture. Loved every moment.”
Review A peaceful side of Vietnam!

An unforgettable cultural journey!

(5.0)
“I never expected to find pine forests and cool weather in Vietnam, but Mang Den totally surprised me. It was peaceful, scenic, and felt like a mountain retreat. We visited Pa Sy waterfall on the first day and it set the tone for the whole trip—quiet, fresh, and connected to nature.”
Review An unforgettable cultural journey!

(5.0)
“The Central Highlands were such a contrast to the busy cities. What I loved most was visiting local villages, nothing felt staged or overly touristy. We had a chance to talk with locals, visit a traditional longhouse, and even watch a Gong music performance. Asia Links Travel made sure everything ran smoothly, and the itinerary was well-balanced with culture and nature.”
