A guide to the places we know best.
Indochina is not a single destination — it’s a region of regions. Vietnam alone stretches over 1,600 kilometres from the karst islands of the north to the flat rice plains of the Mekong Delta. Cambodia contains both the world’s most famous temple complex and quiet, untouched islands. Laos moves at its own pace.

Three countries. Three characters.
Each of these countries has its own rhythm, its own cuisine, its own way of welcoming travelers. Here’s how to think about them.
Vietnam
A country of contrasts — karst archipelagos in the north, imperial cities and beaches in the centre, and the Mekong Delta in the south. One of Southeast Asia’s most rewarding destinations for first-time and returning travelers alike.
Cambodia
Home to Angkor — the world’s largest religious monument — and one of Southeast Asia’s most welcoming cultures. Cambodia pairs temple heritage with the Mekong, Tonle Sap, and quiet island escapes on the Gulf of Thailand.
Laos
Southeast Asia’s most quietly rewarding country. Laos moves at its own pace — through river journeys, temple towns, highland villages and one of the region’s gentlest cultures. Ideal for slow, thoughtful travel.

Questions About Destinations
Which country should I visit first?
For most first-time travelers to Southeast Asia, Vietnam is the most natural starting point — it’s well-served by direct flights, offers extraordinary variety, and works for any trip length. Cambodia and Laos are excellent second or third countries, or can be combined with Vietnam in a longer journey.
How long do I need for each country?
As a guide: Vietnam warrants 7–14 days to see it properly (north, centre and south are very different). Cambodia works well in 4–7 days for Angkor and Phnom Penh, longer if you include the islands. Laos is best in 5–10 days for a slow, focused journey. Combined multi-country journeys typically run 10–21 days.
Is Indochina safe for solo travelers?
Yes. Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos are generally safe for solo travelers, including solo female travelers. Normal precautions apply — keeping valuables secure, avoiding unlit areas at night, using registered transport. Our FAQ page covers safety in more detail.
When is the best time to visit?
It varies by country and region. Vietnam’s north is best October–April, while the south is a year-round destination. Cambodia is best November–April (dry season). Laos is best November–March. For a multi-country journey, we’ll recommend the best combination of timing based on what you want to see. See our FAQ page for more.
Can I visit all three countries in one journey?
Yes — and it’s one of the most rewarding ways to experience the region. A typical three-country journey runs 14–21 days and includes the highlights of each country with a comfortable pace. We can also design shorter combinations (e.g. Vietnam + Cambodia, or Cambodia + Laos).
Do I need a visa for Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos?
It depends on your nationality. Vietnam offers e-visas for most nationalities, Cambodia offers e-visas and visa-on-arrival, Laos offers e-visas and visa-on-arrival for many. Your specialist will advise on the current requirements for your nationality before your journey.
