The lovely twin-cities capital of Phan Rang Thap Cham, situated in the small province of Ninh Thuan, is located en route to Da Lat and makes a great base for hikers on their way into the mountains.
However, compared with the bustling Mui Ne beach to the south and Nha Trang to the north, Ninh Thuan doesn’t have much to offer to tourists except several exquisite cham temples, pagodas and small fishing and craft villages. The province’s infrastructure is average, with only a few accommodations here and there. But if a path less traveled is your idea of fun, this is an ideal place to visit.
