Vietnam- Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh, and Mekong Delta

14-day Vietnam rail loop from Hanoi through Sapa, Ha Long Bay, and Mekong Delta

Railbookers operates this 14-day independent rail package that weaves through Vietnam from north to south. The journey begins in Hanoi, ascends to the mountain town of Sapa, then returns to Hanoi before moving to Ha Long Bay for a cruise through limestone peaks and emerald waters. The route continues south through the imperial city of Hue and the riverside town of Hoi An, ending in Ho Chi Minh City. Along the way, you will see a floating market on the Mekong River and encounter traditional Vietnamese culture and architecture. The trip is structured as an independent package, giving you control over pacing and activities while trains handle the major city connections. At USD 6,599 per person, this suits budget-conscious independent travellers and first-time rail visitors who want to sample Vietnam's geography and history without a guide.
