The Weather In Vietnam In April 

As we mentioned,  April is the period that Vietnam enters the summer. 

Therefore, the weather at this time has some features of both spring and summer weather. This leads to high moisture, so sometimes it rains.

Vietnam is an S-shaped country, consisting of three regions. The weather in The North, The Central and The South are mostly different. 

Nevertheless, in April the difference is not clear. The average temperature is about 30°C, which is advantageous for a trip, right?

With that weather condition, we will share a checklist of 6 most suitable destinations for you.

April is one of the most suitable months to come to Fansipan for this month is the time when the azaleas bloom.

Sondoong Vietnam

Surprise! 

The cave is located in Bo Trach Commune, Quang Binh Province.

Every year, the number of tourists who come there to explore is limited – only 800-900 people. 

That is because of its expensive cost. To be specific, you have to spend about 3000 USD for a tour of 7 days and 6 nights in Son Doong Cave.

Besides, if tourists want to explore this wonder, they will need about 30 assistants who will accompany the visitors.

However, these things cannot prevent adventurous travelers from exploring  Son Doong Cave.

Coming there, you will go into En Cave and contemplate impressive stalactites and a primeval forest with a rich vegetation. 

What you see in the cave is entirely different from the outside world. In Son Doong, you will feel the magic of the Creator.
