The Ho Chi Minh trail was a logistical system that ran from the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (North
Vietnam) to the Republic of Vietnam (South Vietnam) through the neighboring kingdoms of Laos and
Cambodia. The system provided support, in the form of manpower and materiel, to the National Front for
the Liberation of South Vietnam, or derogatively, Vietcong, and the People’s Army of Vietnam (PAVN), or
North Vietnamese Army, during the Vietnam War (1955–1975).

The trail was not a single route, but rather a complex maze of truck routes, paths for foot and bicycle
traffic, and river transportation systems. The name, taken from North Vietnamese president Ho Chi Minh.
Now day Ho Chi Minh Road or Ho Chi Minh Highway (Vietnamese language: Ðu?ng H? Chí Minh) is a
highway in Vietnam. It runs from the north to the south of Vietnam, west of National Road 1A. The
highway was named after H? Chí Minh. The route roughly coincides with the Ho Chi Minh Trail during the
Vietnam War. It is a two-lane highway and is planned for 8-lane highway and will connect Cao Bang
Province by the Sino-Vietnamese border to Ca Mau Province with the total length of 3,167 km. As of
2007, this road runs from Hoa Lac in Ha Tay Province to Ngoc Hoi in Kon Tum Province with a total
length of 1,234.5 km.
