Tour Itinerary

Day 1: Mai Chau - Pong Cong Village (L,D)

• We depart Hanoi and head west toward Hoa Binh City where we stop for refreshments and coffee. Leaving Hoa Binh, we climb toward the Mai Chau valley, about another 1.5 hours away, stopping on the way to take in the spectacular scenery.
• Following lunch in Mai Chau town, we stroll around the stunning villages of Thai people.
• Our hosts for this evening will be the White Thai minority people and we will stay in one of their traditional stilt houses. There, we will be toasted as honoured guests and will be able to sample some of their homemade rice wine! In sampling these people's hospitality, we will discover a little more about their lives and culture following the evening meal.
• Tonight's accommodation will probably be a little more rustic than your usual accommodations at home.
• In the evening, enjoy the performance of the minority dances and drink Ruou Can.
• Overnight at homstay.

• Following breakfast we begin our half-day cycling of 20 km in this beautiful valley, going from one village to another. We will encounter the local villagers going about their daily business tilling the fields, logging or herding the buffalo.

• Afterwards we can stroll around the hamlets, before returning back to Hanoi.
