- Starts and ends: Dong Ha or Hue (at your hotel)
Leave Dong Ha or Hue early in the morning. Breakfast in A Luoi Town. We continue to Hamburger Hill (Ap Bia Mountain, or Hill 937). In May 1969, American forces on a search-and-destroy operation near the Lao border fought one of the fiercest engagements of the war here, suffering terrible casualties. The battle between the US Army's 101st Airborne and NVA troops lasted ten days, from May 10 to May 20, 1969. Short stop at LZ Beck. Down the hill, we visit the NVA's Nam Son Tunnels, then the NVA's former Broadcasting Station and A Luoi Airfield. Lunch at a local restaurant in A Luoi. After lunch, we drive to the A Shau Valley, where you can see many bomb craters on the airstrip. Visit the former US Special Forces base, overrun in 1966. The abandoned area became an important transshipment center for supplies coming down the Ho Chi Minh Trail. Drive back to your hotel in Hue or Dong Ha.
