Mai Chau is the heart of a beautiful valley away from the hustle of Hanoi. The modern village is an unappealing sprawl, but as you emerge on the rice fields and rural living is transformed into a real paradise. It’s a stunning area with stilt houses, green valley and the two tribes, White Thai and Black Thai make up the largest ethnic population of the region.

You will then continue on into the mountains to Mai Chau making stops along the way to take advantage of the fantastic photo opportunities that this area affords as well as some short treks to visit some of the local villages of the Muong people. Enjoy lunch at the Lac village. After lunch you will have the opportunity to walk around and continue to experience the lifestyle of the ethnic hill-tribes in the local villages. Your stop for the evening is at a traditional stilt-house in a village of the White Thai minority. Here you will enjoy a traditional dinner and a comfortable night’s sleep – blankets and pillow provided.

  2. Day 2 Mai Chau - Xa Linh - Hanoi (B, L)

Enjoy the beautiful valleys and peaceful scenery on the 35km drive to Xa Linh which is home to the Red H’mong and Blue H’mong minority people. The Red H’mong women are well known for their “big hair”; they collect any hair that falls from their heads and weave it back into their living hair to create bouffant styles. You will return to Mai Chau for lunch before boarding your vehicle and heading back to Ha Noi. There will be stops along the way to take photographs of the picturesque panoramas. Your tour will end at your hotel at approximately 5.30pm.
