Hoàn Kiếm Trip Overview
If you have a tight travel plan, this is the perfect choice for those looking to do a more adventurous trip to mountain area. A wonderful opportunity for you to mix both local experience and beautiful sceneries in Northern Vietnam.
Mai Chau is a popular destination in Vietnam, we will still give you the chance to visit the main tourist sight but stay overnight in a more rural village. You will go on a trek to visit other villages where you may be the only tourist in the whole area.
Another new famous site in Northern Vietnam is Pu Luong Nature Reserve – a village home of the White Thai, Black Thai, and Muong Ethnic Minority communities. The scenery is well-known for large rice terraces and floating clouds like Sapa but much less touristic. This is a great location for hiking and hard trek through the forest and experience the simple life.
