Planning a road trip route through Vietnam and trying to calculate realistic drive times between destinations. What’s the actual distance from Ninh Binh to Phong Nha and how long should I expect the drive to take? I’m comfortable with long drives but want to plan appropriate rest stops and maybe an overnight break if it’s too far for one day. Are there any particularly scenic routes or should I just stick to the main highways for efficiency? My rental car will be small but reliable, and I’m experienced driving in Southeast Asia. Road conditions and traffic patterns would also be helpful to know for planning departure times. Are there any towns worth stopping in along the way or interesting detours that wouldn’t add too much time to the journey? Any recent driving experiences on this route would be really valuable for planning.
