The Mekong is one of the longest trans-boundary rivers in Southeast Asia, stretching from the Tibetan Plateau to its delta in South Vietnam. It crosses Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. The Mekong basin is one of the richest areas of biodiversity in the world, second only to the Amazon: 20,000 plant species, 430 mammals, 1,200 birds, 800 reptiles and amphibians, and an estimated 850 freshwater fish species.
The river plays a vital role in supporting the livelihoods of local people, providing a productive environment for agriculture, aquaculture, and capture fisheries. It is also a scenic river for cruises, with villages, temples, and forests all around. We offer you the chance to discover life along the Mighty Mekong, its people, their beliefs, and traditions. This Vietnam and Cambodia tour offers a unique experience through the heart of Indochina.
