Om denne aktiviteten
Your private guide handles all the details of your 2-day trekking tour from Hanoi, including your overnight stay in an ethnic hill tribe community. Meals are provided, with a focus on traditional home-cooked dishes. This tour is an excellent opportunity for you to experience local hill tribe culture and appreciate northern Vietnam's spectacular verdant landscape.

Please note: Trekking on this tour is intermediate level, and accommodations are basic. Your homestay includes a mattress and blanket, with bathroom facilities located outside of the house.

Day 1: Hanoi – Mai Chau – Pu Luong (L, D)
Start your day withmorning pickup from your Hanoi hotel, and travel by private air-conditioned vehicle to the village of Pom Coong (also known as Poom Coom) in the district of Mai Chau. En route, soak in views of the countryside and chat with your private guide about the region’s history and culture.

Arrive in Pom Coong after about two hours, and stretch your legs on a short walk to a community of the White Thai people, one of Vietnam’s hill tribe minorities. Savor a lunch of local specialties before riding about one hour by car to the starting point for your trek.

Hike through Pu Luong Nature Reserve, and enjoy views of lush forests, limestone mountains and deep valleys terraced with rice fields. This intermediate-level trek involves walking up some hills, but you can proceed at a leisurely pace with frequent stops for photos and water breaks. Along the way, your guide shares information about the area’s vegetation and wildlife, which includes almost 600 animal species.

When you reach your homestay in the late afternoon, your host family welcomes you into their home, a typical White Thai hill tribe house built on stilts. You have time to shower and rest before joining the family for a traditional home-cooked dinner.

Overnight: Homestay in Pu Luong

Day 2: Pu Luong – Hanoi (B, L)

Wake up early to observe or even participate in your host family’s morning activities. After breakfast, stroll around with your guide to meet the neighbors and learn more about life in the village. Then enjoy an easy hike among the rice paddies before your van picks you up to take you to your lunch destination. After lunch, relax on the drive back to Hanoi, where your tour ends with drop-off at your hotel in the early evening.
