=>Expected time for a trip lasting for 3 days and 2 nights.

The average time for you to experience and visit almost tourist attractions in Da Lat- Nha Trang is 3 days and 2 nights. In case you are free, you can stay longer to discover the beauty of these places and relax more.

The fee for each trip depends on the time and form of traveling that you choose. For example, the fee for going by motorbike, bus, plane or others are different from each other. Besides, staying in a 3- star hotel, 5- star hotel or a hostel also require you different cost.

I visit Da Lat- Nha Trang every year, but I don’t know why I still want to come back. Sometimes perhaps the weather in Sai Gon is so hot that I want to enjoy the colder weather with wearing warm clothes and scarf. Besides, I sometimes come here just to go bathing, eat seafood and relax.

Thank you Ms Mai Linh sharing these experience above to this blog. Hope that you will have a lot of fun things to do in Nha Trang Vietnam. Also, if you have any experience of traveling in Nha Trang, please share with us.
