    /

    Travelling beyond the boundaries of your country and comfort zone often gives you a new perspective of life. Some travel to break the monotony, life while others travel to explore. Whatever category you fall in, this detailed guide aims to help you with planning a holiday in Vietnam. Safety Concerns The first question that comes to our minds while planning a holiday in Vietnam is safety of the place.

    Buu Long Pagoda- An offbeat surprise in Ho Chi Minh

    /

    The modern Ho Chi Minh city is synonymous with shopping, great cuisines and contemporary buildings. Whoever thought of an offbeat place in this busy city? Buu Long Pagoda is one such lesser known spot that hypnotized us with its soothing charm. Why this is unique? Vietnam has lot of religious places and pagodas. After a certain point in time, they all seem to be the same. However, Buu Long Pagoda stands out because of two reasons. First, unlike traditional Vietnamese architecture in pagodas, this one has a blend of Thai and Indian style. And second, due to its location, it is sparsely crowded and astoundingly quiet. Let’s take you around…

    For adventure seeking travelers and nature lovers, Ho Chi Minh City may come across as a concrete jungle with fewer places of interest. Believe it or not, we felt the same. But hey dont worry, the city still has a number of exciting places which you must not miss. Here is a complete guide to touring Ho Chi Minh city. Independence Palace Also known as the reunification palace, it was home to French Governor of China. With lush garden, antique furniture and battle tanks, the palace appears as frozen in time.

    The Historical Cu Chi Tunnels in Ho Chi Minh

    The well known Cu Chi tunnels give us an insight of the Vietnam war and the brave fight put up by Viet Cong soldiers. Here is a sneak peak of the historical Cu Chi tunnels in Ho Chi Minh city. How it started? Vietnamese soldiers had dug a large network of tunnels during the mortal Vietnam war. Built over a period of 25 years, these served as a base and a hideout to fight the American troops. The narrow and dark tunnels often infested with rats caused diseases and made living conditions worse. At present, the tunnel site is a tourist spot with all relics on display. Ammunition on display…

    Among the several things that Ho Chi Minh city has, War Remnants Museum is a must visit place. This is where you experience the horror of war on both sides. Along with 55,000 American troops more than 1 million Vietnamese army personnel and civilians lost their lives. The number of people who were injured seriously or were rendered handicapped is far more. Even after the war, thousands still lose their lives due to unexploded bombs and mines. This War Museum photo journal is also a tribute to those courageous war photographers who died on duty. The outer premises of War Museum

    /

    If you are in search of a little adventure in Da Nang, head straight to the Marble Mountain. Full of awe-inspiring caves and breathtaking views, marble mountains give you the opportunity to hike along the less explored rocky paths and forest trails. Why the name? Marble Mountain is actually a group of five hills made of marble and limestone. The mountains were named after the five elements namely Kim or metal, Thuy alias water, Moc aka wood, Hoa meaning fire and Tho or Earth. In conclusion, these mountains were a spiritual destination for Vietnamese and Buddhists who built Buddha statues in every size and shape from cave entrances to summits. …

    Linh Ung Pagoda, the largest in Vietnam

    /

    On the outskirts of Vietnam’s Da Nang city, the Linh Ung Pagoda features the Lady Buddha statue – the tallest Buddha statue in Vietnam. The gorgeous coastline, pleasant weather, and the panoramic view of Da Nang city coupled with the sound of temple bells work their magic on your senses. The calming beauty made us visit this place twice during our three-day stay in Da Nang. The main chamber of the pagoda Often called the meeting place of heaven and Earth, Linh Ung Pagoda unites the contemporary style and integral tradition of pagodas in Vietnam. Explicitly, this is quite evident from the curved roof in dragon shape, solid pillars surrounded by dragons,…

    Surprised? It was equally surprising for us when we discovered this place while researching on Vietnam. Recognized by UNESCO as a world heritage site in 1999, Mỹ Son's ancient Shiva temples from the 4th century draws thousands of tourists everyday. We were determined to explore My Son-a Hindu culture heritage in Vietnam during our visit to Da Nang.

    Tried releasing baby turtles? We did in Bali!

    /

    All travel experiences leave you with memories to cherish forever. The memory that would remain etched in our mind is our recent trip to Bali where we contributed (atleast we think so) to the marine life by releasing baby turtles in the ocean. That joyous feeling cannot be expressed in words. Amid the crowd cheers and lashing waves, the babies slowly make their first plunge. When those little things crawl towards the water and the enormous waves take them in, it feels like a moment of euphoria. This is Bali Sea Turtle Society at Kuta Beach in Bali, Indonesia. Whose initiative As a part of the mission to save marine…
