For customised tours, Sinhbalo Adventures (Map p356, Tel: 8376766, 8367682; www.sinhbalo.com; 283/20 D PhamNguLao) is one of the best in Vietnam.

Its programmes range from remote hill-tribe trekking and bird-watching in national parks to motorbiking the HoChiMinh Trail. We’ve been using them for more than 10 years and have yet to hit a snag.
