In general, most international tourists are advisable to experience a Vietnam tour in autumn (August to October) and spring (February to April). Why? It’s because this is the time when the weather is quite good (the light rainfall and moderate temperature) to enjoy everything wonderful here. Especially, the rainfall is considered to be the lowest throughout all destinations of the country during March and April; so it’s awesome for a Vietnam tour package at this time.

It’s supposed that March and April are the great time for a tour to Sapa due to the warm weather and the dry air; October and November are the time for people desiring to immerse themselves into the cooler climes.
