Vietnam in March
March is one of the best times to visit Vietnam.
In terms of the weather, March is perhaps the best month to visit Vietnam, especially if you want to see the whole country. Temperatures in the north are rising, making March a perfect time for adventure and trekking in the highlands and mountains. Clear skies around Ha Long Bay make it an ideal time to take a boat tour, stopping off at the beguiling Cat Ba Island. Dry weather means you can visit the awesome Phong Nha Caves in Phong Nha-ke Bang National Park, which boasts the world's biggest cave. You can be sure of sunshine and hot days in the south, which means lazy days on the beaches and water-based activities are a must, also on beaches on the central coast, such as at Nha Trang. The central highlands are generally warm and dry now, so it's a good time to visit Da Lat and surrounding areas.
