Optional short treks and photography stops can be included for those who wish to explore further or capture the stunning scenery. You will also have the chance to visit local caves, ethnic villages, and, depending on the schedule, markets such as the Dong Van or Meo Vac Sunday market.

The tour can be done clockwise or counter-clockwise around the loop, with flexibility to prioritize sights and activities according to the group’s preferences.
