Vietnam is an amazing Southeast Asian country that thrives on tourism. It is a country that is always on every backpackers list for a few top reasons which include

- The visa is hassle free and can be received on arrival.
- The currency is much cheaper compared to most countries including India and hence is not an expensive trip.
- The paddy fields, cities, bays and everything around the culture is amazing to take in as a tourist.
- There are a large number of hostels for backpackers and services for transport.
- Everyone is very helpful and it is easy to move to different cities and see more of what Vietnam has to offer.
- The night market is an experience by itself and the food from a simple banh mi sandwich to a heavenly bowl of pho is worth every penny.
- You can also get to Thailand very easily from Vietnam and hence extend your trip if needed.

In Vietnam, you get to meet diverse cultures of people who come during the winters to enjoy the sun or for spring break during university. The city always feel alive and has an amazing energy in the air. There is music playing everywhere, so much history to take in and you can always find people sitting out on the streets and enjoying some beer. My one true favourite in Vietnam will surely be the coffee they serve. It is known around the world for a reason.

From exploring the biggest cave in the world to experiencing the golden hand bridge, there is a lot to see and do in Vietnam.

As a backpacker or someone who loves to travel, this is a country you should definitely add to your list!
