The story

The Grand Indochina Expedition was born from our profound respect for Asia’s ancient heritage, diverse cultures, and fragile ecosystems. As passionate travellers and conservationists, we have spent years exploring the timeless landscapes of Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos, forming close connections with local communities, historians, and environmentalists. Our goal was to design an Indochina tour that not only unveils the region’s rich heritage but also contributes to its long-term preservation.

From wandering through the mystical ruins of Angkor Wat at sunrise to sailing past the limestone karsts of Halong Bay and experiencing the sacred Baci ceremony in Laos, we have witnessed first-hand how these places embody the very soul of Indochina. This journey is more than a tour—it is an immersive experience that allows travellers to cook with villagers, engage with artisans, and support those who safeguard ancient traditions. Along the way, you can visit historical sites such as the Cu Chi Tunnels, gaining insight into the Vietnam War and deepening your understanding of the region's recent history.
