Explore Everything: A Jungle in Vietnam, Buffalo Traffic and a Huge Waterfall
I visited Phong Nha and Ninh Binh, Vietnam last month and got a few good shots. From the buffalo traffic on the motorbike to the statggeringly dense canopies and symphony of insects and nature, these destinations will really realign you. Check out the beautiful landscpaes encountered as we made our way to the waterfall in Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park before embarking to Ninh Binh.
View of the rice paddies from behind our homestay early in the morning before heading off for our hike.
Riding motorbikes to the botanical gadrens gave us some nice views of the 'Son' river.
You can walk to the waterfall in about 15 mins. It's not a bad hike and there are many trails you can take after the waterfall leading into the jungle. Be careful though, the maps were useless. Pay attention to where you are going when you hike!
Here's a taste of the intense flora in the region.

Keep going...

Nice one Jake! The waterfall looks similar to the one in Da Lat. Not sleeping again tonight?:D
Haha yes. Are you talking about elephant falls?! And last night I slept hehe. Steemit didnt force me to pull another all nighter this time! Got to bed early, about 3 am : - )
I don't remember its name actually. Wow! You went to bed super early in the morning. Hahaha
haha thats early for me : - ) Im most certainly a night owl!
Nice! How long were you in Vietnam?
So far I have been here for 5 years. Right now I am living in Saigon. However, these pictures were taken when my friends visited recently and we travelled around. It was fantastic! Thanks so asking @fronttowardenemy! Happy tails man : - )
Awesome. I'm hoping to move to Vietnam at some point. Thanks for the post!
Solid plan man! Which city are you thinking if you dont mind me asking?
It's hard to say. I know all the digital nomad types are mostly in Saigon, but it might be too busy for me. I definitely want to go back to Danang for a while.
Awesome pics again @jakehorn87! I haven't been in these northern parts of Vietnam yet, but hopefully can visit soon! Looks amazing!
oh man, you must go! beautiful places!
