For a worry-free Vietnam vacation packages there must be things to consider in order preventing the miss-leading.
When to go: climatically the best time for a holiday to Vietnam is between November and April when it should be dry and not too hot as well. In the southern part of the Vietnam it is warm but not too hot with lovely cool evenings. However, in Cambodia wind-blown dust invades everything at this time of year. In the north of Vietnam and Laos the highlands will be a bit chilly but they should be dry with clear blue skies. However, temperature in upland areas like the plan of jars in Laos, the Bolaven Plateau and some towns in the north of Laos can be extraordinary cold.
From late march to April the whole Indochina ( Vietnam . Laos . Cambodia ) heats up and temperatures can exceed up to 40 degree Celsius, the month from March through to the first rains in May or June can be very hazy as smoke from burning off the secondary forest hangs in the air. On the worst days this can cause itchiness of the eyes. It also means that views are restricted and sometimes flights are cancelled. Travel to Vietnam and on mud and laterite roads is difficult and sometimes is impossible, this is the same in Northern regions of Laos as well by june and july; transport will be slower and may case altogether in some parts. It is also impossible to do any outdoor activities in june and july because of the rain. However, the area is at its most beautiful then. Travel in the south and Mekong delta can be difficult at the height of the monsoon, particularly during the September, October and November. The central regions and north of Vietnam sometimes suffer tropical storms from May to November. Hue is at its wettest from September to January.
Tet Holiday: The Vietnamese new year, this can be good or bad time to visit the country. This movable feast usually falls between late January and March and lasts for about fortnight. It is the only holiday most Vietnamese get in the year so popular destinations are packed. Vietnam vacation packages during the Tet holiday must be booked well in a head of time to avoid the fully booked services for hotels, resorts and train or air tickets. Problem also occurs during the Khmer New Year in Cambodia and Pi Mai in Laos, when public transport is full and hotels booked our in popular places.
