Best time to visit
If you are planning a Ho Chi Minh City tour, including the Cu Chi Tunnels, Cao Dai Temple in Tay Ninh, Ba Den Mountain, and My Tho & Ben Tre tour, the best time to go is from December to April. During this period, the weather is stable, not too hot, and there is less rain, making it ideal for sightseeing and experiencing the local culture.
Weather and Climate:
Ho Chi Minh City (Cu Chi Tunnels): The city experiences a tropical monsoon climate with two distinct seasons. The dry season lasts from December to April, characterized by warm and sunny days with average temperatures ranging from 25°C to 35°C.
This is the best time to visit as the weather is pleasant and suitable for outdoor activities. The rainy season runs from May to November, with heavy rains and occasional thunderstorms. During this period, temperatures remain high, but the frequent rainfall can disrupt travel plans.
Tay Ninh (Cao Dai Temple & Ba Den Mountain): Similar to Ho Chi Minh City, Tay Ninh also has a tropical monsoon climate. The dry season from December to April offers clear skies and moderate temperatures, ranging from 24°C to 34°C, making it the best time for visiting the Cao Dai Temple and hiking Ba Den Mountain.
The rainy season from May to November brings heavy rainfall, which can make hiking trails slippery and dangerous.
My Tho & Ben Tre: These cities in the Mekong Delta also follow the tropical monsoon pattern. The dry season (December to April) is ideal for boat trips along the Mekong River and exploring local orchards and workshops.
Temperatures during this period range from 23°C to 34°C. The rainy season (May to November) sees frequent downpours, which can flood the delta’s intricate canal systems and make boat trips less enjoyable.
Seasons to Avoid:
It is advisable to avoid visiting during the rainy season, particularly the peak months of heavy rain from June to September. The intense rainfall can lead to flooding, making travel difficult and potentially dangerous.
Outdoor activities such as exploring the Cu Chi Tunnels, hiking Ba Den Mountain, and boat trips in the Mekong Delta can be significantly hampered by the weather conditions.
Local Cuisine & Specialties:
Each region on your tour offers unique culinary delights that reflect the local culture and traditions.
Try dishes like pho, banh mi, and com tam in Ho Chi Minh City. Tay Ninh is famous for its savory dishes like banh trang phoi suong (dew-wetted rice paper) and goi cuon (spring rolls).
In My Tho and Ben Tre, enjoy the fresh flavors of Hu Tieu My Tho (My Tho noodle soup) and various tropical fruits like coconut, rambutan, and longan.
Transportation:
There are several transportation options available to suit different preferences and budgets:
Taxis are convenient and widely available in urban areas, offering a comfortable way to get around.
Buses are a more economical choice, with routes connecting major cities and tourist attractions.
For a scenic and leisurely experience, consider taking a boat trip along the Mekong River.
Travel Tips:
When visiting Ho Chi Minh City and its surroundings, it is essential to dress appropriately for the tropical climate. Wear light, breathable clothing to stay comfortable in the heat.
A hat and sunglasses can protect you from the sun, while sunscreen is crucial to prevent sunburn.
Insect repellent is also recommended to protect against mosquito bites, especially in the evenings.
Comfortable walking shoes are necessary for exploring various attractions, including the Cu Chi Tunnels and Ba Den Mountain.
Always carry a bottle of water to stay hydrated throughout the day.
By following these tips and choosing the right time to visit, you’ll ensure a memorable and enjoyable trip to Ho Chi Minh City and its surrounding attractions. Enjoy every moment of your journey as you explore the rich history, vibrant culture, and natural beauty of this fascinating region.

FAQs
As travel agents, we frequently receive a variety of questions before the trip-planning process even begins. Everything from the best period to book to determining if travel insurance is worth it. We love being able to share our professional expertise and personal experience with our clients, offering them confidence that their holiday will be nothing less than exciting.
While it may seem too early to plan a holiday, it's always a good idea to research travel tour prices ahead of time and book as soon as a suitable offer has been identified. "When it comes to the winter holidays from October to February in the next year—the priciest time of the year—your best bet is to book the tour service before this period," according to my own experience. "Look to book between one to two months ahead for domestic travel and two to 6 months ahead for international travel."
It is a good idea to check if you need a visa for Vietnam before applying for one, since this will save you both time and money, especially in times of crisis.
According to official announcements, residents of 25 countries will be able to travel to Vietnam and stay for 14 to 45 days (depending on nationality) without requiring a visa beginning in 2024.
To enter Vietnam, such citizens just require a valid passport with at least two black pages. The complete list of these countries can be found this link : https://www.vietnam-visa.com/vietnam-visa-exemption/
