TOUR ITINERARY
"We had a terrific tour, wonderful meals and accommodation all round. Our guide was excellant and infomative on all aspects of the country and culture. We really enjoyed going to the tribal villages in the Central Highlands (Pleiku) as it was away from the busy cities which are all changing with modernisation."
