Ho Chi Min Trail
The vital supply route used by the N Vietnamese Army
during the Vietnam war. It passed through Laos into Cambodia
& Vietnam. The trail was heavily bombed during US Air attacks.
Military wreckage still covers the trail. In order to follow
the trail you must hire a jeep and guide at travel agency.
Savanbanhao Travel has a minivan(upto 10 people) to rent
$170 for 1 day incl fuel
a driver. To Xephone town which is an entrance town to
the trail takes 8 hrs 225km. Very bad road.
! Warning: DO NOT attempt to go without
a guide as there are still unexploded bombs. |
