Detailed Itinerary
Day 1 – Welcome to Vietnam
You have arrived in Ho Chi Minh City, a vibrant, popular destination for solitary travelers. Take a break and stroll about the city.

We will start our Ho-Chin-Minh Exploring tour at noon, after which you can unwind at the hotel. From there, we’ll go to Backpackers Street, where the weeklong party really gets going!

Day 2 – Chu-Chi Tunnels, War Museums
Chu-chi Tunnels reviews those experiences and gives you a sense of how individuals survived in those conditions. Vietnam is most known for its conflicts and survival stories. The guerilla army employed the Cu Chi Tunnels, a network of tunnels snaking across the jungle.

Day 3 – Trip to Danang, Coastal Road trip, Hoi An, and Lantern Street

Let it sink in that you are in one of only three cities in the world with a creative undercurrent, or as we like to say, a place that helps you find your calling, as we begin our coastal road trip to Danang, a magnificent city. We explore the town’s vibrant streets at night, set off aerial lanterns, and eat regional treats by the river.

Day 4 – Ba Na Hills, Most Instagrammable Spot – Golden Hands Bridge & World’s Longest Cable Car

Be prepared to see four seasons in one day and quaint vistas that you won’t soon forget as we ride the longest cable car in the world today to the castle resort at BaNa Hills.

The Golden Hands Bridge, considered one of the world’s most Instagrammable sites, is the next obstacle we cross. On top of the hills, we will also ride some rides and explore a little French village.

Day 5 Hello Hanoi! Walk tour at Old Quarter, Train Street Market & Souvenir Shopping

We will travel to Hanoi by bus overnight while sleeping. This bus trip is distinctive in and of itself and will provide a genuine sense of Vietnam.

Before leaving to browse souvenir stores, get a beer at a street bar, and visit the railway street market, where a real train really travels through the market, we check into our hotel in the heart of the Old Quarter. It is a marvel in itself.

Day 6 Cruise at Halong Bay, Kayaking and Swimming
Vietnam wouldn’t be complete without Halong Bay, a collection of fanciful islands encircled by azure waters where you can kayak, dive, snorkel, or just relax in a hammock while taking in this UNESCO World Heritage beauty.

At this point, you understand that your fellow travelers are now like family. Therefore, keep the spirit alive.

Important Note:
We strongly recommend to all the participants to do a COVID test before travelling to Meghalaya or any other long tour.
We also recommend to all the participants to give the RT-PCR test not less than 96 hours before the travel and carry COVID negative certificates with them.
Doing a test strongly reduces the probability of participants coming to the mountains as asymptomatic carriers. It makes it a lot safer for all the participants and staff in the team.
Each member of the group (participants/leaders/ clients & staff) wears protective masks while interacting with each other. Do carry a few unused, disposable masks.
It is strongly recommended to wear caps, full sleeves shirts and full trousers and shoes for adventure activities. It reduces exposure of your body parts.
It should be ascertained from the participants that they are not residing / have not traveled in a containment zone and have not come in contact with any person who was tested positive in the last 14 days.
Ascertain whether any participant has any symptoms of Influenza like illness (ILI) like fever, dry cough, weakness, severe body ache etc. at the time of beginning of activity. If it is so then he/she should be asked not to participate in the activity and be evacuated on medical grounds and should be asked to report to the local health authority with his own expenses.
Strictly avoid eating gutkha, pan masala, cigarette or sniffing which induces spitting, coughing or sneezing.
Avoid touching external surfaces and touching your face when outdoors.
If the location of your adventure activity is too crowded then be prepared to leave or wait for the crowd to disperse/for your turn.
It is mandatory that a participant informs the organizers if he tests positive for Covid within 14 days of returning from adventure activity. It will help the organizers to inform and alert all other persons in the group, so that they can follow the medical/government norms in this regard. Here it is absolutely essential that the participant observes transparency and informs the organizers/group leaders about his Covid test results.

IMPORTANT:
Avoid wearing precious Jewelry while travelling, as Trikon won’t be responsible for any losses for the same.

Consuming liquor or any kind of Alcoholic substance is prohibited. Carrying any kind of substance that’s illegal is not allowed. Smoking is strictly not allowed. Anybody found smoking or consuming alcoholic drinks will be expelled from the event without refund.
