Welcome to Vietnam War Travel
Welcome to our Vietnam War site where we hope to be taking you on a journey to the places where the history of the Vietnam War was written. We are a small team of war history enthusiasts who have been traveling regularly to Vietnam over the last decades. On our site you will find unique documentation of war sites in Vietnam as they look today including text, pictures and video. Our aim is to profile not just the major and more well-known former camps and battlefields of the war but also some small not so well known sites like LZs that were still significant in the overall war.
If you have come here looking for a specific location, we hope you will find it. If not, then please get in touch with us and maybe we can add it to our planning, but make sure to also look around the site and discover other interesting locations. To fully enjoy the content of this website make sure to also click on the videos that we have shot on most of the sites we have visited.
The main sections are the former Corps Tactical Zones I - IV. Other than that we have a few featured article directly on the main menu as well as a few special sections which we will continue to expand, there you will find war stories written by veterans themselves and some special feature articles.
We hope you enjoy looking at our pictures and videos as much as we enjoyed taking them. Start with the sections below or via the menus above to begin exploring.

III Corps
As intense as any other tactical zone III Corps covered the areas around Saigon all the way up to the border of Cambodia where PAVN and VC constantly found new ways to infiltrate with men and material. III Corps also covered the southern highland areas all the way down to important town of Vung Tau.
