Đường Thượng Commune, Vietnam
The northern highlands of Vietnam have long beckoned the intrepid traveler, but few routes offer the sheer, visceral thrill of the winding roads through Đường Thượng. Here, where limestone karsts slice through the low-hanging clouds, the landscape demands more than a passive glance from behind a closed window. It requires an open-air immersion into the cool, mist-laden air.

Standing in the bed of a rugged truck, the wind whipping through light summer dresses, adventurers find themselves face-to-face with the towering cliffs and deep, emerald valleys. It is a sensory overload of damp earth, distant woodsmoke, and the endless green of terraced hillsides.
