The beach capital and one of the most popular cities in Vietnam, Nha Trang is a lively, fun, full of fun resort that has won demand and worldwide fame. After reading this article on the Tour Calendar, you will be convinced that the best time to visit it is from February / March to mid - end of September.

Tourist season in Nha Trang

Nha Trang on the map of Vietnam is not just a dot, but a wonderful resort that deserves to be written about. Once in this city, it is difficult to believe that it used to be a modest, inconspicuous fishing village, where you did not see any hotels and restaurants in your eyes. So this Vietnamese corner would have continued its monotonous and boring life if the French colonialists had not paid attention to its amazing purity and unique natural splendor, who built the first villas here and attracted the first pioneer tourists. It can be considered that thanks to them this resort took its current form. Well, the merit of its popularization belongs to the American invaders, who often rested in Nha Trang in between military operations. Fortunately, that difficult time for the city has long passed, and today nothing reminds of it. Kilometers of soft white sands fringed with spreading palm trees, luxurious hotels and entertainment complexes "grown" along the coast, well-trained service and bright night life- this is how modern Nha Trang appears to its thousands of guests. By the way, our compatriots are among them.

High season

In the midst of tourist season lasting from March to August, Nha Trang is experiencing a stormy influx of foreigners. During this period, local beaches are filled with everyday bustle. The main interest of tourists is focused on taking sunny water treatments... And this is not surprising, since the bay of the resort is one of the 20 most beautiful bays in the world. The second influx of tourists is observed during the Vietnamese New Year "Tet", which falls at the end of January, beginning or mid-February. At this time, the rates are very high.

Low season

The decline in the tourist season, which occurs from late September to mid-January, is primarily due to the worsening weather situation. The main obstacle to a carefree holiday is the frequent and heavy rains, as well as the stormy sea. True, here it must be added that the climate changes from season to season, and even forecasters cannot say 100% that the weather will be terrible. So, in November 2014, the notorious rainy season never started. And in 2013, in the same month, on the contrary, it was flooded every day. But one thing is known for certain: the price level at this time is rapidly falling. This is especially beneficial for those who come here for a long vacation or to look for work. There is, of course, the risk of typhoons and tsunamis, but in this region it is very, very small.

Beach season in Nha Trang

It is warm in Nha Trang regardless of the season on the calendar, so in fact bathing season never interrupted. However, due to heavy rains and gusty winds that generate turbulent waves, serene splashing in turquoise waters is not always possible. The least recommended time for beach goers is from October to December, when about an idyllic surface South China Sea, as well as about the transparency and purity of water, you can forget. Strong surf interferes with swimming, and rainstorms wash away the sand and clay. This state of affairs suits only nimble surfers, for whom the main thing is the presence of "well-fed waves", and everything else does not really matter. However, if the main goal is not swimming, but getting a tan, then the "low season" is quite suitable for this. The precipitation, of course, is powerful, you cannot argue with that, but it is short-lived, usually no more than half an hour. You can easily get a luxurious chocolate skin tone even in cloudy conditions, since ultraviolet light in these parts is very aggressive. In January, intense rains in Nha Trang are coming to an end, however, for vacationers thirsty for beach bliss, this is not the best time, since the water this month is the coldest of the year: about + 22 ° C - about the same as on Mediterranean resorts in early June. If you want perfect rest, we advise you to start it for the period from March to August from minimum amount"Wet" days and warm calm sea. True, it should be clarified that in June, July and August is the peak of the heat, which is contraindicated for people with a weak heart and blood vessels. Also, from the middle of August, the sea has been slowly changing, and the waves are becoming commonplace.

Diving season in Nha Trang

V recent times specialized tours with a diving program are in great demand. The islands and resorts of the South China Sea are among the best on the planet for spectacular diving. Nha Trang offers to the keen amateurs deep sea wonderful world colorful corals and variegated exotic fish. Since the water in the sea is always warm, diving is practiced here almost all year round. But still, the most optimal time to explore the realm of the kingdom of Neptune is March, April, May, all summer months and early September. During the rainy season, scuba diving is only done at leeward sites and is mainly by professional athletes. During the rest of the year there are about 20 dive centers at the disposal of divers. Many of them are concentrated around the uninhabited island of Hon Mun, on the territory of which there is a real marine park, which includes about 170 species of fish, 110 species of molluscs and 69 species of fauna.

Fishing season

The sea off the coast of Nha Trang is replete with marine life - shrimps, lobsters, octopuses, cuttlefish and many inhabitants of the tropical and northern seas. You can fish in two ways: sitting with a rod on the shore (the cheapest way) or on a yacht in the most "grain" places, simultaneously enjoying the pristine beauty of secluded bays, picturesque islands and grottoes scattered along the coast. As with diving, the best seasons to test your fishing luck are spring, summer and early September. However, even in these months there is a possibility that she may turn away. The fact is that fishing around Nha Trang is highly dependent on the phase of the moon. When it moves away from the land, it enters the coastal zone. cold water, together with which a good catch comes there - mackerel, barracuda and tuna. The rest of the time, it is quite modest, hence the so ambiguous reviews that fishing in Vietnam is very mediocre, or even worse, none at all. In addition, you can go fishing and on the lakes. This pleasure is, as a rule, cheaper, and no less impressions.

Wellness season

Another of the common reasons why tourists visit Nha Trang is a desire to improve their health, regain their youth and beauty. Nature has endowed the surroundings of this city with hot mineral springs and deposits of healing mud, which are actively used in thalassotherapy and in treatment various diseases... Indications for treatment can be dysfunctions of the musculoskeletal system, diseases of the bronchopulmonary and nervous systems, endocrine disorders, and skin diseases. The best time to undergo procedures is winter, when there is no unbearable heat and a huge influx of people. But at the same time, for serious treatment, the season does not really matter.

It's time for holidays and festivals

The cultural life of Vietnam is striking in its richness, scope and color. Most of them depend on the phases of the moon, therefore they do not have clear dates. The most ambitious include: the Festival of the Whale (middle of the 3rd lunar month), the Religious Festival in the Po Nagar Tower (April-May), the religious festival "Am Chua Festival" in the temple of the same name in the village of Dai Dien (around May), Birthday national hero Ho Chi Minh (May 19), weeklong sea festival "Nha Trang Sea Festival" (June), Independence Day (September 2), Mid-Autumn Festival "Tet Trung Nguyen" (on the 15th day of the 8 lunar month, which corresponds to the end of September -October), Che Ngo Festival (November), Catholic Christmas (December 25) and Vietnamese New Year(from the end of January to the end of February). You can familiarize yourself with the rest of the notable events if you go to the section in Vietnam.

Climate in Nha Trang

Nha Trang compares favorably with other cities and resorts in Vietnam with its blessed climate. It creates the most favorable conditions for the development of tourism in comparison with the rest of the country. Since the city is reliably surrounded by a high ring of mountains, the frequency of typhoons, tsunamis and other natural disasters here is several times less than in other regions, and relative humidity and the amount of precipitation is much lower. Fluctuations in temperatures throughout the year are insignificant; the change of seasons can be judged in fact only by the precipitation regime.
