With its eclectic blend of cultures and beautiful landscapes, there is no better way to explore the Mai Chau Valley than a village to village walking journey. This Vietnam tour takes you through the heart of the Hoa Binh Province and Mai Chau Valley and includes unique homestays with the local hill-tribe people.
Leave the cityscape behind as you drive from Hanoi to Mai Chau for the start of your Vietnam tour. You’ll be greeted by a local family, your hosts for the evening’s homestay, and take a short walk around the village.
Moving further into the Mai Chau Valley, the next day of trekking on this Vietnam tour takes you to Name Village and then through terraced rice fields and lush forests to Buoc Village for another homestay with the Thai people. Along the way, you will have ample opportunities to soak in the stunning views of the rugged outcroppings and surroundings with a relaxing boat trip on the Sa River.
Hike quiet paths to the Xalinh village on your final day in the Mai Chau Valley. Home to the Hmong people, you will pass low wooden houses, meet with friendly locals and encounter elders dressed in traditional costumes. If you happen to be there on a Sunday, the morning market is a kaleidoscope of colors as people from around the valley convene to buy and sell their wares.
For this Vietnam tour, we offer two options for accommodation. You can choose to stay in homestays each night or alternate between two nights at Mai Chau Lodge with a village stay. The Lodge offers the modern amenities and rugged luxury of a mountain retreat without compromising the beauty of its natural surroundings.
