Detailed Itinerary Mighty Mekong Bike Tour Itinerary in brief Before you goBEFORE YOU GO ON CYCLING TRIP VIETNAM - CAMBODIA AND/OR COUNTRY AROUND Check your passport It is a standard requirement for entry into any country in the world that you have a passport valid for at least 6 months beyond the date you complete your travels. If your passport has only a few months' validity or only a few pages remaining, you should to apply for a new one before you start your trip. If you need to apply for a new passport, make sure you can get it before your travel date. In most parts of Vietnam, Laos ,Cambodia and/or countries around you will have to show your passport when checking in to hotels and resorts, buying airline tickets, changing airline date or changing money. Make a copy Cycling thought Vietnam, Cambodia and/or countries around, we are highly recommended that you make a note of your passport details: passport number, visa number and place and date of issue of both, or even better, take a photocopy. Keep this information separate from your passport. If you lose your passport you must report it at once to your local Guide or Tour Leader, the local police and the nearest embassy or consulate of your country. Visas Most travelers to Vietnam need to apply for a visa. ''Green Trail Tours Co., Ltd '' help you arrange it. A Vietnamese entry visa is required for all foreigners wishing to visit Vietnam except for citizens of countries with visa exemption agreements who may stay up to 30 days without a visa. Exempted countries include most Asean countries, Korea, Japan, Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland. All other citizens are required to get an entry visa before arrival or a pre-approved entry visa (a visa that is issued on arrival at Vietnam’s international airports but which must be arranged before arrival in Vietnam). Visa Services There are two ways to apply for your visa to Vietnam: First: Apply by yourself at the embassy or consulate of Vietnam in your country or to any one of the Vietnam embassies and consulates around the world. Documents needed: Passport of six months’ validity, visa application forms, and any other documents requested by the particular embassy or consulate. Visa forms are available directly at the Vietnamese embassy or consulate in your country or by sending the embassy or consulate a stamped, self-addressed envelope addressed to the Visa Section. Fees vary between embassies. It will take 4 to 10 days depending on your country of origin. Second: Get your visa instantly by using ''Green Trail Tours Co., Ltd '' In the event that there is no Vietnam embassy or consulate in your country, or you just want to make Vietnam part of a multi-destination trip, then we recommend Visa on Arrival as your best option. This is most likely the easiest way to obtain your visa without having to chase down embassies, consulates and the like prior to your trip, and is a valid alternative when applying for a tourist visa. The entry visa will be stamped on your passport as you pass through our immigration checkpoint at the airport. Though valid for thirty days, it can be extended once you enter Viet Nam. With this type of visa, you only can enter the country by air. This is where the service at ''Green Trail Tours Co., Ltd '' comes to the fore. We are one of best travel agencies to offer this kind of service, whereby we will obtain what is called an “Approval Letter” for you from the Vietnam Immigration Department in Hanoi. After we obtain the approval for you, we will forward you a copy by fax or email. Copies of the same document will be forwarded on your behalf to Vietnam immigration checkpoints at International Airports, so that when you arrive in Vietnam, the immigration officers will have those documents on hand and will be able to issue your entry visa expediently. For further information please click here... Travel Documents & Vouchers When you book a tour you will be issued with a Confirmation Invoice. Please ensure that all the services which you have booked and paid for are shown on your travel documents and that all names have been spelled correctly. If you have booked additional services like extra nights' accommodation, transfers or excursions, please make sure that these are shown on your Confirmation Invoice and that you have been issued with a voucher for these services. (please contact to the sales agent for your service voucher) Money Currency Exchange There are a wide variety of different ways that you can obtain or carry money overseas, including credit cards, ATM cards and cash. Traveller's cheques are a useful back-up which are popular for security reasons. Foreign currencies and tourist Traveller's cheques can be exchanged into Vietnamese Dong or Cambodian rail at all banks or foreign exchange agencies in most City in Vietnam and Cambodia. Credit cards are popularly used, especially in cities and big tourist centers. Before leave Vietnam Cambodia , Vietnamese dong or Cambodian Riel can be changed into foreign currencies at the airport. Do carry some cash – a small amount is often useful in more remote regions. It is a good idea to obtain a small amount of the currency of the country you are visiting prior to arrival as this can be very useful for any immediate expenses. If you can’t obtain currency in advance, you will usually find banking services in the Arrivals Hall of the airport, port or border post, though these won’t necessarily be open 24 hours a day. You should try to carry at least some of your money in small denominations so that you can change only the amount you will actually need. US dollars are widely accepted in all city of Vietnam ,Cambodia and/or countries around. This is particularly important near the end of your holiday as it is sometimes difficult to change back surplus local currency. Safety By choosing to cycling with ''Green Trail Tours Co., Ltd '' you can be sure that your safety and well-being is our prime concern.

You need JavaScript enabled to view it This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it Insurance Our tour prices do not include insurance. However, it is a condition of joining our tours that travelers are fully insured for any medical expenses they might incur while traveling. At the start of your tour the Tour Guide will ask to see your insurance documents and will note down the policy number and emergency contact number. Travel insurance is compulsory for any participant. It is advised that all travelers should have travel insurance covered before your departure. This will be really helpful in case of medical emergency evacuation. It is with go safe. The travel insurance will cover against Hospital and Medical expenses, the cover relates to expenses as a consequence of accidents occurring to the bearer during the period of Insurance and/or unforeseen illnesses which arise during that period as well. Entrance Fees Concessions are available on some entrance fees for holders of some student and youth cards. If you have a card, or are entitled to one, you should bring it along so you can take advantage of any discounts. Health & Medical Vaccinations Vaccinations are officially required by the Vietnamese authorities, however immunization against cholera, hepatitis, typhoid, tetanus, polio and Japanese encephalitis is advised. Please consult your doctors for further medical advice. Also plan to bring mosquito repellent. Wearing long-sleeved shirts and slacks from dusk onward and avoiding perfume is also recommended. In addition to an ample supply of any prescription drugs you are taking (and a prescription which can be filled in case your pills go missing) bring medicines for: Headaches, diarrhea, constipation, insect bites, sore throats, eye drops, cuts, etc. Medical standards outside Hanoi and Saigon, Siemreap and Luangprabang are lower that those found in western countries. Personal Medical Kits It is up to you to bring along a personal supply of basic medical items like plasters, aspirin, insect repellent etc. In areas of limited or suspect medical facilities, some travellers also like to take their own emergency medical kit which can be used by the local medical staff in case of accident or illness. Our cycling Tour Leaders carry a comprehensive First Aid Kit (including a sterile pack) for emergencies, but do not dispense medicines. Existing Medical Conditions All persons joining our tours are assumed to be in good health and to have a sufficient level of fitness to complete their chosen itinerary. If you have an existing medical condition or disability you must make this known at the time of booking. If accepted on the tour, you must also make your condition known to the cycling Tour Leader. What to Pack Travel Light The first thing to remember when you are packing for your trip is that your airline baggage allowance is almost certainly going to be no more than 20kg. The next thing to remember is that apart from a few occasions when hotel porters will take your bags from the hotel out to a tour bus, you will have to carry your own luggage. Luggage For ease of use, the best type of bag to bring is a backpack or a hold all, preferably with some sort of shoulder strap. This type of bag tends to be less bulky and easier to handle than rigid suitcases. Wheeled suitcases might be useful for airport concourses, but not for anywhere else. In addition to your main bag, we also recommend that you bring: A smaller day pack for items like camera, water, sun cream, hat, etc. A money belt or waist pouch (bum bag) for your travel documents and money. Your luggage, bags and personal belongings are your own responsibility at all times. Luggage Requirements checklist As a guideline we have compiled a list of things that you might need on tour. Naturally you will have your own ideas so please remember that with the exception of The Essentials these lists are only intended as a guide and you should choose which items you wish to bring. -Passport -Money Keep a note of the emergency contact number for your Visa or ATM card, and the serial numbers of any traveller's cheques, if used. -Travel insurance -Take a photocopy of your policy with you and make sure you leave a photocopy at home. -Airline ticket -Travel documents / service vouchers -Comfortable clothing for cycling allowing your legs to move freely -Helmet -Cycling gloves -Stiff soled cycling shoes -Insulated water bottle -Waterproof jacket (rain is always possible in South East Asia) -Spare inner tube -A Bike (please see below for more details) -Front and rear bike lights -Cycling Water bottle -Money belt or pouch -Torch and batteries -Personal washing / shaving kit -Camera and film / memory cards -Sunglasses -Swiss Army Knife / Leather-man -Lightweight wind / waterproof jacket Medical / Personal -Insect repellent -Sun cream or sunblock -Lip balm -Moisturizer / After Sun lotion -Personal medical supplies Aspirin, paracetamol, plasters, bandage, safety pins, antiseptic cream, diarrhea tablets, tampons, etc. Our Cycling Tour Leaders carry comprehensive First Aid Kits but these are for emergency use only. -Antihistamine / insect bite cream -Dehydration solution -Personal medication If you are taking any medication or have a condition that needs specific medicines (e.g. asthma) you must take all necessary medicines with you. You must also inform your Cycling Tour Leader of your condition at the start of your tour. Clothing As a general guideline, clothing should be lightweight, hard-wearing and easily washed. Almost everyone brings too many clothes so try to travel as light as possible. you should not forget that special cycling clothes and shoes are not easy available in Vietnam, Cambodia and/or countries around. You may want to bring SPD shoes or sandals with overshoes. You will be not able to buy specialized cycling clothes during your journey in Vietnam, Cambodia and maybe in some Asian cities (Bangkok, Hong Kong, Penang) but don't count on it. Shoes can be outside the western world a problem since the sizes are limited. If you have big feet, buy your shoes at home. Our Bikes We prefer the Trek mountain bike as it has been special designed to deal with different types of road and riding. Even on a our road trips, the asphalt can often be broken or potholed, and there are usually unsurpassed sections included, so mountain bikes are the most suitable. The bike has 24 and 27 gears, which you can change easily when padding up hill or down trails. As the case of soft cycling in the country side, where the road is paved and flat, we general use simple Japanese pushed bikes. Bike SizesWe provide mountain bikes on all our tours (except Tibet). Available sizes are 15"(38cm), 17"(43cm), 19"(48cm), and 21"(53cm). If you normally ride a mountain bike you simply need to tell us its size. If you are not sure, have a look at the table below for our suggestions. If in doubt it may be a good idea to visit a bike shop and try a few mountain bikes to find a comfortable size.
Photography Special Permits Occasionally some historical sites have a charge for taking your camera on site, and others prohibit cameras altogether. Often flash photography is prohibited (even if you have bought a permit). Rules for video cameras are usually more restrictive than for still cameras. Video cameras must be declared to customs on arrival in many countries and special permits are often necessary for use at historical sites. Film & Digital Film may not always be available locally and can be of variable quality, so you should bring plenty with you. If you use digital, ensure you have an adequate supply of memory cards. Many internet cafés or photo shops can burn memory cards onto CD, but do not delete any images from the card until you have seen the CD on a different computer. Take spare batteries, especially if they are of an unusual size. Two sets of rechargeable are best so one set is always full. Don't forget to take the charger as well as a travel plug adapter. Emergency Contact If someone needs to contact you while you are on tour, the best method is for them to contact your sale agent, who can then pass on a message. If your sale agent is closed and someone needs to make contact with you urgently, they should telephone our hotline in the tour operation department in ''Green Trail Tours Co., Ltd '' . Emergency Contact details are shown in each service voucher. We recommend that you leave a copy of your Trip and Service Voucher and details of your booking agent with someone at home. Phoning Hotels We do not recommend that you ask friends and relatives to contact you by phoning tour hotels. Receptions are often manned by non-English speaking staff and it is highly unlikely that the person answering the phone would be able to locate you. In addition it is also not possible to give out details of hotels before the tour starts (except for the Meeting Point hotel) as these may be subject to change. The internet is everywhere, Vietnamese people adopted it massively. E-mailing and chat gather several thousands of people in the Internet Cafes now equipped with ADSL, which is convenient when we use vocal chat and webcam. Using the internet in Vietnam is cheap, about 3000-4000 dong / hour depending on the place where you go. Mobile Phones You can use your own cell phone if you come from a European, Asian country or Australia (GSM 900/1800). If it isn’t yet unlocked, it’s going to be easy to do it here. For those who come from USA or Japan, you will need to buy a new cell phone. Three telecom companies are sharing the market, Vinaphone, Mobiphone and Viettel. They propose prepaid cards and pay as you call solutions (You receive a bill at the end of the month). But whatever solution you pick, you will need to get a SIM card (your telephone number), about 300.000 VND. Cell phone shops can be found very easily everywhere in Vietnam and/or countries around, even in the most remote part of the country. Set Departures>> MINIMUM 03 PERSONS << >> MAXIMUM 10 PERSONS <<
