Vietnam is a breathtaking destination with a multi-curtailed past and a bright and optimistic future. Its people are pragmatic and forward looking, whilst simultaneously keen to retain their traditions and culture.

The tourist trail through Vietnam is well marked as thousands of wanderers make their vertical trek between Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) and Hanoi.  While the track is certainly having footmarks with some of the country's unequivocal highlights - Sapa, Halong Bay, Hoi An, Mekong Delta - here's a list of some of Vietnam's lesser-known gems that will have you away from the tourists, and engrossed in a sea of conical hats.

There are other sought-after nature experiences in Vietnam that appear less frequently on a travellers’ itinerary, but may give as much excitement as more popular ones.

• Take a boat jaunt from Hoa Binh to Mai Chau along Ma River
