Embark on an unforgettable adventure this summer with Inner Journey Expeditions' special promotions for Vietnam and Laos tours. Ideal for groups or families, these offers include a 10% discount on select tours and a complimentary one-month Vietnam visa service. Experience the rich culture, breathtaking landscapes, and thrilling activities that these Southeast Asian gems have to offer.
Inner Journey Expeditions (IJE) is thrilled to announce its 2010 Vietnam Summer Promotion, exclusively tailored for groups of friends or families comprising five or more individuals. When booking together, travelers can enjoy a 10% reduction in the total tour cost. This enticing offer is applicable for trips scheduled between May 1 and September 30, 2010.
IJE is renowned for crafting immersive experiences that cater to the independent traveler's spirit. Their expertise spans a wide array of activities, including trekking, cycling, overland tours, and cultural adventures. The company prides itself on offering personalized journeys to Vietnam's less-traveled locales, as well as curated itineraries featured on their website. These range from a five-day classic trek and homestay in Sapa to a three-day kayaking and rock climbing adventure in Halong Bay, and from a four-day cycling tour through the serene paths of the Mekong Delta to the challenging ascent of Mount Fansipan.
IJE's Summer Promotion extends to a 10% discount on the internet rate for a six-day trekking adventure in North Vietnam's Pu Luong Nature Reserve, valid for the same travel period. Each traveler will also receive a complimentary silk inner sheet. This cultural odyssey combines the thrill of trekking with the authenticity of homestays in Hoa Binh province, a mere three-hour drive from Hanoi.
Homestays offer a genuine cultural exchange and a deep respect for the local way of life, devoid of Western comforts and appliances. By opting for a village homestay, travelers not only engage in a meaningful cultural interaction but also contribute economically to the communities that need it most. Angela Kent, Director of Inner Journey Expeditions, emphasizes the simplicity and authenticity of these homestays, which are often a trip highlight according to their guests.
Inner Journey Expeditions is proud to introduce Laos' inaugural Yoga Retreat, set in the UNESCO World Heritage town of Luang Prabang on November 3, 2010. This 10-day retreat is a fusion of yoga, meditation, philosophy, and Lao cultural experiences, including textile weaving at Ock Tok Pop, trekking to minority villages, elephant rides, and a cooking class. The yoga sessions are led by an experienced instructor from Byron Bay, Australia, a renowned yoga hub.
Angela Kent assures that the retreat is suitable for all levels of yoga practitioners, from beginners to advanced. The retreat's location in Laos is particularly fitting, given the country's Buddhist roots, which resonate with the teachings of yoga.
To further enhance the travel experience, Inner Journey Expeditions is offering a complimentary one-month Vietnam visa service for travelers who book and pay a deposit on a tour before September 30, 2010. This service simplifies the entry process into Vietnam, with a Visa Authority letter that tourists can present at the Visa Landing Counter in Vietnam's international airports, including Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, and Danang.
