🌍 When to go to Vietnam
Vietnam stretches across climate zones, but spring generally offers dry, mild conditions from north to south. The summer monsoon brings heavy rain and a typhoon risk, especially in the centre, so timing depends on which regions you combine.

Heat, humidity, insects and water quality decide how these trips go. Desert destinations belong here too: the need is the same — shade, airflow and drinkable water.
