Have a breakfast at your hotel. Then our tour guide meets you up at your hotel and head north to Dong Ha. From Dong Ha head west on route 9 and pass a series of the old U.S Marines' military installations including Camp Carroll, Fuller, Razorback ridge....The first stop is the Rockpile, an important look-out and firebase of the Marines south of the DMZ. We will view the old tactical area where the Marines fought in the famous operations Hastings and Prairie during 1966-1967. Our next stop is Dakrong bridge - the starting point one of the main branches of the legendry Ho Chi Minh Trail leading to the infamous Ashau Valley and the Hamburger Hill. Then, continue to Khe Sanh combat base - a large Marines base camp which was besieged by massive forces of the North Vietnamese Army in 77 days in early 1968, where we will spend ample time exploring the base and learning about the battle.

After that, head back to Dong Ha for lunch break. After lunch, head north to the former Demilitarized Zone ( the DMZ ), the old de-facto border between North and South Vietnam for 18 years, where we will take a walk on the Freedom bridge across the Ben Hai river - the river that was the only true physical demarcation line between the two Vietnams. The last stop of the day is Vịnh Moc tunnels, the refuge of some 300 North Vietnamese refugees during Rolling Thunder bombing operation.
