Who knew the jungle could be so loud? Even in the dead of night, in pitch darkness, the sounds of monkeys, exotic birds, and strange barking noises churn around camp in the remote, mountainous jungles of central Vietnam.

The strange barking hasn’t ceased. Together with their local guides, the host of international travelers dine on fresh scallion pancakes cooked over gas stoves.
