British travel magazine Wanderlust has recently published a feature recommending Vietnam’s top destinations for adventure-seeking international travelers.

According to writer Alex Robinson, Vietnam is considered a "paradise" for adventurous and thrill-seeking tourists. A wide range of outdoor activities - such as cave exploration, kayaking around island-studded bays, and trekking through national parks - are increasingly drawing the attention of foreign visitors.

The first destination on Wanderlust’s list is Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park, home to dense tropical forests and one of the world’s most impressive cave systems. This remarkable natural setting continues to captivate thrill-seekers from around the world.

In addition to conquering Son Doong - the largest cave in the world - visitors to Phong Nha - Ke Bang can explore pristine forests rich in biodiversity, including 154 species of mammals and 314 species of birds. Notably, several new species were discovered as recently as fall 2024.

While destinations like Sa Pa, Da Lat, and Ha Long Bay are already well known among international tourists, Wanderlust gave special attention to a lesser-known but equally spectacular site: the karst limestone formations in Huu Lung District, Lang Son Province.

About 100 km north of Hanoi, the Yen Thinh Valley in Huu Lung has been dubbed a "legend" in the rock-climbing world. The scenery is marked by layers of towering cliffs interwoven with golden rice fields and quiet village life. Although infrastructure in the area remains limited, its raw, unspoiled beauty continues to attract thrill-seeking travelers in search of authentic, off-the-beaten-path experiences.

Founded in 1993 and headquartered in the United Kingdom, Wanderlust is one of the world’s leading travel magazines. It specializes in spotlighting lesser-known destinations, promoting responsible travel, and sharing unique cultural experiences. Wanderlust is published bimonthly in both print and digital formats.
