Discover the hidden gems of northern Vietnam on our immersive 5-day journey from Hanoi to Da Bac, Mai Chau, and Pu Luong. Venture off the beaten path to explore remote destinations like Sung Village, home to the Dao Tien people, and the stunning Mai Chau valley, where the Thai ethnic community resides. Along the way, you'll be surrounded by breathtaking rural landscapes and terraced fields, all while delving into the rich local culture and enjoying authentic, unforgettable experiences.
On this journey, you will visit less-traveled places, gaining insights into the traditions of the Dao, Muong, and Thai communities. Trek through the serene bamboo forests, take a peaceful boat trip on Ngoi Hoa Bay—often referred to as the "Halong Bay in the mountains," and cycle through the picturesque Mai Chau valley. You'll also enjoy a unique bamboo raft experience in Pu Luong and savor the distinct flavors of local cuisine.
