Indochina tours with flights from Romania
Tour with flight, accommodation, transfer, meals and activities included.
The temples of Angkor, Ha Long Bay, Luang Prabang and Bangkok: a tour through the heart of South-East Asia.
Indochina brings Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam together in a single journey: gilded temples in Bangkok, the jungle-wrapped ruins of Angkor, the calm monasteries of Luang Prabang and the limestone karsts of Ha Long Bay.
A tour of the region shows you each country at its own pace and through its own food, with floating markets, rice paddies and colonial towns, without the hassle of arranging the journey between them.
What you will see on the tour
Angkor Wat, Cambodia
The largest religious monument in the world, built in the 12th century near Siem Reap. The wider Angkor complex also includes the Bayon, with its giant stone faces, and Ta Prohm, gripped by the roots of huge trees.
Ha Long Bay, Vietnam
Around 1,600 limestone islands and pillars rise from the green water of this UNESCO-listed bay. A cruise on a traditional junk, sometimes with a night on board, usually includes caves, kayaking and small beaches.
Luang Prabang, Laos
The old royal capital on the banks of the Mekong is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. At dawn, Buddhist monks walk the streets to receive offerings in the Tak Bat ceremony, and in the afternoon you can visit the turquoise Kuang Si falls.
The Grand Palace and Wat Pho, Bangkok
The former royal palace houses the Emerald Buddha in Wat Phra Kaew, while next door Wat Pho keeps a 46-metre Reclining Buddha. Shoulders and knees must be covered to get in.
Everything you need to know before you go
When to go
November to February is the dry, cooler season across the region and ideal for a tour. March to May is very hot, and from June to October the monsoon brings almost daily showers, but also lush scenery and fewer visitors.
What you see along the way
Tours usually combine two or more countries: Bangkok and the temples of Thailand, Angkor at Siem Reap, Luang Prabang in Laos and Vietnam, from Hanoi and Ha Long Bay to Hoi An and the Mekong Delta.
Good to know
Temples require covered shoulders and knees, and you take your shoes off inside the sanctuaries. Between countries the programme may include regional flights, and every border has its own entry formalities, worth checking before you leave.
Local food
Each country has its own flavours: pad thai and tom yum in Thailand, amok (fish curry steamed in a banana leaf) in Cambodia, laap with sticky rice in Laos, phở and bún chả in Vietnam.
