Of the 365 days in
a year, on 355 of them Vietnam's mountain people
are working; anytime in any weather and
regardless of weekends. During the Vietnamese
New Year - Tet (or Tet Nguyen Dan) - they take a
consecutive ten days holiday. By making ends
meet for the rest of the year, what has been
saved is usually spent on Tet with the hope for
a better New Year. On this occasion, they hold
festivals to pray for a high yielding crop the
following year. They try to behave well to each
other with the wish for a happy and prosperous
year.
Tet is the time one visits relatives and
friends.
Tet is the time for most of the important
festivals to take place.
Tet is the best time to be out in the
countryside learning about Vietnamese culture.
During Tet, all offices, agencies and
organizations are closed in Vietnam; the only
exception is Green Trail Tours Vietnam. Green
Trail Tours Vietnam has organized Tet tours with
families in the countryside for a number of
years now even though it's one of the most
difficult times to do so because the whole
country stops what they are doing and
celebrates. We here at Green Trail Tours Vietnam
will ensure all our services are met while on
tour.
Vietnam's Tet is very special. The more people
you are, the happier you will be, as the local
saying goes. Most of Green Trail Tours Vietnam
staff will go on tour during Tet. As they know
it's one of the best periods to visit the
country, everybody is in a festive mood. Each
big group will consist of no more than 15 people
and 3 guides. These big groups are divided into
3 separate groups on the road and will meet up
during overnight stops for playing, eating,
drinking and recounting the tales of that days
adventure.
Tet programs normally last 8 days.
Vietnamese people believe that if a foreign
visitor comes to their house on Tet, they will
have a very happy, lucky and prosperous New
Year. Do you want to bring them good fortune
prosperity and happiness? Contact us for more
details regarding Tet tours. As this is one of
the busiest times of year, please get in touch
no later than by the end of January (about 3
weeks before Vietnam's Tet).

send
