A train journey is a relaxing and unparalleled way to experience a country’s spectacular beauty. Here is a guide for you to engage in this experience in Vietnam.
Plan your route
When considering a Vietnam train journey, pre-planning is essential to guarantee preferred travel times and picturesque views along the way. Some of the best routes available for you to pick from are from Da Nang to Quy Nhon, Hue to Da Nang, Hanoi to Lao Cai, Ho Chi Minh City to Nha Trang and Da Lat to Trai Mat. This is an easy and budget-friendly means of exploring the country’s scenic beauty and diverse landscapes.
Enjoy the amenities available onboard
You get a range of facilities to pick from depending on the type of train and class that you are travelling in. If you are seeking opulence, you might like to consider The Vietage by Anantara, as this train features six private air-conditioned booths that also offer a 20-minute head and shoulder spa treatment. Gourmet three-course dining is also available if you take this railway carriage from Da Nang to Quy Nhon.
Book in advance
It is always advisable to book your train journey well in advance in case you miss out on purchasing tickets, especially at a time when many love to take this trip. The views are great, especially from March to April and September to November, as pleasant weather prevails. Get your booking done via travel agencies, on the Vietnam Railway website or at the station counter.
Prepare for the expedition
Get to the station early so that you will have enough time to board the train. Keep your passport, tickets, and any other official documents in a secure place like a packpack. Take along a water bottle, some snacks and a power bank to keep your electronic equipment well-charged during your trip.
