Our guide and driver will meet and pick you up at your accommodation in Hanoi to take a 4-hour transfer to Hoa Binh province. We make some short stops on the way to take a look at the magnificent view of the mountainous landscape. On the way to Mai Chau, get ready to be marveled by the scenic natural beauty of Thung Khe Pass - rated in the top 10 most beautiful passes in Vietnam. Then visit a local market of the Muong Ethnic Minority to fetch some knowledge about their custom and daily routine.

We reach Mai Chau by noon and have a lovely meal from Thai Ethnic Minority for lunch. 

Proceed to Thai’s traditional House on Stilts then start cycling deeper into the village of the local inhabitants. This afternoon, we will learn some techniques in handicraft village, how they weave rugs, blankets and mats and buy some local products to bring home. 

Travel a little bit further, you find yourself end up at Buoc Village. You will be warmly welcomed by the villagers and make friends with them.

You will feel absolutely refreshed waking up surrounded by the tranquility as well as the clear atmosphere in Mai Chau valley. 

After a lovely local breakfast, our trekking tour starts. 

We will trek along the dirt trails to dive in the purest and the most wonderful landscapes with the mountains, the streams, the hanging bridges and stair-paddy fields. Sometimes, you will come across the villagers heading to the jungle to search for woods and herbs. 

The trekking activity lasts for about 2 hours. Have lunch at the homestay and get ready to leave the town and back to the capital city. 

List of hotels we use: Best price, strategic locations, carefully-checked.
