Embark on a breathtaking 4-day journey through the serene highlands of Da Bac – Mai Chau – Pu Luong, where emerald rice terraces meet tranquil ethnic villages and misty valleys whisper stories of tradition.
This is not just a tour — it’s a soulful immersion into nature, community, and the timeless rhythm of rural Northern Vietnam.
Imagine yourself waking up to the sound of a rooster crowing over mist-covered mountains, the gentle hum of a bamboo flute drifting from a nearby stilt house, and the earthy aroma of steamed sticky rice filling the morning air. Here, every moment is both peaceful and deeply human — a reminder of what “slow travel” truly means.
Your adventure begins in Da Bac, a lesser-known treasure where Muong and Dao communities live harmoniously with nature. You’ll trek through lush valleys, visit remote villages accessible only by scenic trails, and share tea with friendly locals. Each smile, each handshake tells a story — a connection that transcends language.
Continue to Mai Chau, the iconic valley embraced by rolling rice paddies and Thai stilt houses. Watch farmers tending their fields, cycle through quiet country lanes, and enjoy a warm local meal prepared with fresh ingredients from the garden. The air smells of wildflowers and wood smoke — a perfect picture of rural serenity.
Your journey culminates in Pu Luong Nature Reserve, a hidden gem of towering limestone peaks, golden terraced fields, and cascading streams. Trek along winding trails through bamboo forests, encounter water wheels creaking rhythmically in the streams, and stay in an eco-lodge surrounded by endless greenery. As night falls, the sound of crickets becomes your lullaby, and the stars above Pu Luong seem close enough to touch.
This 4-day experience captures the spirit of Northern Vietnam — authentic, emotional, and transformative. It’s for travelers seeking more than just beautiful scenery; it’s for those who want to feel connected — to people, to nature, to themselves.

(Approx. 100 km – 4 hours drive)
Your journey begins at 8:30 AM when our friendly guide and driver pick you up at your Hanoi hotel. As the busy city fades behind, the scenery slowly transforms — endless rice paddies, tranquil villages, and misty hills of Hoa Binh province come into view.
By midday, you arrive in Sung Village, home of the Dao Tien ethnic group, a peaceful community of just 78 families living among emerald forests. Take a leisurely 3-km walk to explore the village trails and its surroundings. Visit the Sung Cave, hidden within lush greenery, and listen as your local guide shares stories about forest plants used in traditional medicine.
You’ll also stop by the community house, where elders teach the Dao language to the younger generation, keeping their heritage alive. Later, visit a Dao family to watch beeswax pattern making and indigo dyeing, two ancient crafts passed down for centuries.
In the late afternoon, transfer to Da Bia Village, nestled by Da Reservoir — a tranquil spot surrounded by mountains and water, perfect for travelers seeking authenticity and calm.
Enjoy a warm dinner prepared by your host family and settle into your cozy homestay. The quiet of the mountains and the soft rhythm of nature will lull you to sleep.

Wake up to the sound of roosters and the aroma of wood-fire breakfast. After a gentle 3-km walk to the boat pier, board a local boat for a scenic cruise on Da Reservoir, often called the “Halong Bay of the mountains.” The emerald water reflects limestone peaks, floating clouds, and local fishermen gliding silently across the lake — a moment of pure serenity.
Arrive at Suoi Lon pier, where your driver awaits to take you to Mai Chau Valley, home of the Thai ethnic minority. The valley opens wide with golden rice fields, palm trees, and traditional stilt houses.
In the afternoon, bike or walk through Mai Hich Village, following winding paths between rice paddies, wooden homes, and sparkling streams. Stop to chat with friendly villagers, enjoy a cup of tea, and feel their genuine hospitality.
The evening brings a home-cooked dinner with local wine, and perhaps a traditional dance performance if you wish.

Take a guided trek through small paths, crossing bamboo bridges, streams, and forested hillsides. The earthy scent of the forest, the hum of cicadas, and the sight of farmers tending rice terraces create an unforgettable connection with nature.
After lunch at a local home, follow a scenic trail that locals use on their way to the fields. Continue trekking to Ui Village, where your driver will meet you for a short transfer to your lodge in Pu Luong.
As dusk settles, enjoy dinner by the soft light of oil lamps. Listen to the symphony of crickets and feel the mountain breeze — the perfect ending to a day in Vietnam’s hidden paradise.

Enjoy a short bamboo rafting experience on the stream — a perfect moment to reflect on the simplicity and beauty of highland life.
Around midday, begin your journey back to Hanoi, with optional rest stops along the way. The drive takes about 4–5 hours. Upon arrival, you’ll be dropped off at your hotel, carrying with you memories of mountain air, smiling faces, and Vietnam’s pure countryside charm.
