This day tour take you to the countryside, enjoying breathtaking scenery, immersing yourself in the wonders of Mai Chau valley.
ITINERARY
Pick up at your hotel in Hanoi, head out for Mai Chau. It will take 4-hour drive along the rolling hills to Hoa Binh province. Stop at some road passes for a bird-eyed view of landscapes of several Muong villages. Scenic photo stop along the way; enjoy the beautiful scenery of Thung Khe Pass (One of the 10 most beautiful passes in Vietnam) for a spectacular view of Mai Chau Valley.
Arrive in Mai Chau, relax and have an authentic lunch with a local family of the White Thai tribe. And enjoy some free time to acquaint yourself with the villagers at Poom Coong village.
In the afternoon, we have a leisurely walking & biking along the valley passing by different villages of Thai ethnics; experience their farming activities, their house styles or interacting with them for interesting insight of authentic local cultures.
We will take the cycling tour along Mai Chau’s humble paths; through its small villages and adjacent to its verdant rice paddies. The forested limestone mountains will be ever-present throughout the day; sitting behind caves and waterfalls, giving shade to the farmers as they plough the fields or pluck the rice.
Have free time shopping in Poom Coong or Lac village before driving back to Hanoi. Maichau valley and cycling tour will finish at your place.
