   We were not that familiar with Vietnamese food, as we don’t eat anything more than fish and    chicken.   So it was a bit of a culture shock indeed!

Mekong Delta & War Museum.



      Which are the places in Vietnam you would recommend to other travelers?
Sapa, Halong Bay, Bana Hills.












    Did you encounter difficulties on the flights / local flights / surface transport / food / language / cultural differences?
We had faced food & language difficulties the most.



1   Hanoi, Sa Pa and Halong Bay must have been very cold in December… tell us your experience about the cold weather.




It was Amazing experience, we had to buy extra jackets locally to protect us. It was extremely cold and we had lots of fun due to the cold weather!   


       What about Vietnam appealed to you the most? What about Vietnam did you dislike the most?
Vietnamese are very warm and caring, also whole country is very clean and neat. Somewhere we have faced challenge in food items, otherwise all was perfect.

  What would be your advice / experience sharing for other aspirant travellers to Vietnam?

 We would like to advice that should plan Vietnam trip at least for 10 Nights or more to explore complete Vietnam. Sapa, Halong Bay, Phong Nha national park, Danang & Bana hills are the must visit attractions if you want to explore Vietnam in great detail. So that way one can visit all these places. Also, travellers should carry dry snacks or ready to make food items to avoid food difficulties or gastronomical shocks!

Every year we pay lip service to environmental causes by earmarking special events like Water Day, Earth Day, Environment Day, Wildlife Week, Vanamahotsav etc. Earth Day is celebrated or observed on 22nd April every year, so we thought of touching chords by sharing something truly inspiring: Bamboo as construction material. With Government of India recently approving bamboo as construction material, it paves the way to revolutinise construction industry and real estate business by drastically reducing costs, and moreover in the COVID era it affords us more space by reducing costs and literally giving us healthier atmosphere.
