The total lengh of the trails was over 20 000 km crossing many high mountain peaks of over 2500m and deep abysses. The most destroyed parts of the trails were around Quang Binh and Quang Tri Province especially Quang Tri where there was McNamara Line. Still the flows of enforcements from north to south Vietnam was not stopped. Ho Chi Minh Trails now have been made into highways between northern and southern Vietnam. Still many parts of the trails are still intact or encroached by jungles. You can still tour a part of these trails in Phong Nha Ke Bang National Park.Nhat Le Beach offers the travellers with white sand blue sea water and fresch local seafood. The good thing for you hanging around here is that it's off the well trodden tourist paths and there's a good 4-star resort and spa for accommodation.This article is written by Paradissa Travel.
