Backpacking through Vietnam is awesome, seriously! With some damn impressive views, crazy delicious food, and awesome locals, it is perfect no matter what type of traveler you are. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the only thing is planning a trip there can be pretty overwhelming since it’s a lot of ground to cover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But don’t worry, there’s a popular backpacking route that makes things easier. That\u2019s where I explored during my 3 weeks in Vietnam<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our itinerary starts in the North, in the city of Hanoi, and ends in Ho Chi Minh City, also known as Saigon. You’ll have no issues traveling in and out of these spots since they both have International Airports, and if you wish, you can easily flip it around and do the itinerary backwards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We actually spent 4 weeks traveling here, 28 days on the dot. Though we spent too long in some cities, I have altered this to just a 3 week Vietnam itinerary, so you can make the most of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I seriously don’t recommend shortening it anymore, as it will be a bit too intense with A LOT of travel days and not too much time in between.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will keep you on the main backpacking Vietnam route. Though with a few extra highlights thrown in to take your adventures to the next level.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
