White Sand Dunes of Mui Ne is one of the most interesting and must try places of interest in Vietnam. This is not only a sand dune but also a hot spot for wonderful activities, let's discover!
White Sand Dunes of Mui Ne is also known as the “Sahara of Vietnam” due to its wide sand dunes. This place is ideal not only for exploration but also for leisure. If you are planning for a trip to this place, do not miss this essay for a brief description of the White Sand Dunes, the best activities in the area and the best time to travel that you should know when planning for a great experience.
The White Sand Dunes is located in Binh Thuan Province, Vietnam. It particularly extends along the coastal land and attracts visitors with surrounded greens and beaches giving people a feeling of a true desert.
In fact White Sand Dunes is just an expansive sandy desert, but Mui Ne White Sand Dunes is a wonderful small desert. From Mui Ne, Binh Thuan Province, go northwest of Mui Ne beach 30km and 40 kilometers of Phan Thiet town, you can find Mui Ne White Sand Dunes. The dunes cover an area of some several square kilometers and are entirely sandy, thus offering a desert-like landscape in a region that would be expected to contain more of the beaches. The white coloured sand shines in the heat of the sun and the scene that follows is hard to describe but it resembles that of a scene shot at the Sahara desert.
In order to get to the White Sand Dunes, the visitor can rent a motorbike, take a tour or a private jeep from Mui Ne. The tour passes through a beautiful coast with tarmac picking scenic views of the ocean and the countryside. Those who are coming from Ho Chi Minh City can take buses which go to Mui Ne and then arrange for locals to get to the dunes.
One of my favorite attractions at the White Sand Dunes is sandboarding. This activity is among the most common activities undertaken there. Tourists can hire a board and ride down the over-head high sands which is fun in comparison to snowboarding. The sand's face is fine and powdery so bringing a wonderful game. The steep slopes of the dunes provide an incredible thrilling ride. Most tourists love this activity, because it is very much entertaining, especially for those in groups of families or friends out for a vacation.
For anyone who are either not so physically inclined or simply do not want to indulge in sandboarding, can try jeep tours. There are many local operators who provide jeeps for rent and thus enable the visitors to tour round the extensive sand dunes. During the tour, visitors will have a chance to visit the top extremities of the dunes to enjoy excellent views of the desert and the coast in the vicinity. Jeep touring is also very effective when it comes to visiting many sites. However, this tour is quite active because the bodies need to come up with the activity and duration of the tours in the hot weather, so visitors may be exhausted when walking from one site to the other.
An all-terrain vehicle (ATV) - quad biking, or riding a quad bike is one of the popular choices at Mui Ne White Sand Dunes. People can hire quad bikes and move through the sand hills, go through the sand as per their desired pace. Quad biking is specially loved by adventurers, because they can have the opportunity to cover a wide area with a certain speed. It is rather thrilling to get that up close view of the sandy loam without losing the thrilling aura of the dunes.
To make your tour an extraordinary one you can avail a hot air balloon ride over the white sand dunes. This activity provides an opportunity to get an aerial view of the dunes and the other related features such as the lakes, seasides etc. The calm ascending offers some of the best views of the golden beaches especially early in the morning or during sunset because the floating over the sand dunes is very quiet and makes it even very exciting.
For photographers, catching the interesting phenomena of the White Sand Dunes - breathtaking changes in the sand dunes is a perfect chance. The best light that is most suitable for photography is the early morning light or late evening light so as to produce the sharp contrasts of the white sand against the blue sky in addition to the greenery around the area. The photographers come here to take the picturesque dunes.
Due to the tropical weather of Vietnam, the tourists often go to White Sand Dunes Mui Ne in the dry season (from November to April). The reason is because, during this season, the weather is clear, less rainfall, cooler temperatures. The early hours of the morning or in the evening are ideal times to visit the dunes. The weather is often hot during the day especially around mid morning and mid afternoon.
Other months from May to October are considered the wet season. These months usually have rainfall along with much higher humidity. However, you still can visit the dunes but during this period, it may still be a little cumbersome. This will make some of the activities might be restricted by the wet ground and in addition worst weather is expected during this period.
If you are at Mui Ne, let's try to visit White Sand Dunes at the most appropriate time. The best time is before sun-rise or in the evening around sunset. This is the time when the temperatures are low and the lighting is good for taking pictures and at the same time the rush is pretty low. The dunes at the early morning or evening light up in golden colouration, which adds to the aesthetic value of the dunes. Besides, tourists visit the places during this time to avoid congestion which makes the exercise all the more interesting and at one with nature.
As we know, the White Sand Dunes are totally outdoor, therefore there are no trees or structures. Do not forget to take along your sunscreen cream with a high factor, sunglasses and broad brim hat to guard against the hot sun. Besides, let's prepare loose clothing and preferably light colored clothing, to prevent one from getting too hot easily, this together with sandals or other comfortable footwear for walking on the hot sands.
One of the most important things needed to bring along is water. Especially when you go to the dunes in the morning, the activity will make the body lose a lot of water. In this place, there are few options for purchasing water or beverages, so it is advised that you take a lot of water with you.
A trip to White Sand Dunes of Mui Ne definitely brings to the visitors excitement, attractiveness, and relaxation. You will have a fun and adventurous experience to take part in activities.
