At 8:00 AM, meet your friendly tour guide and driver at your hotel in Hanoi. Leave the city’s hustle behind and journey toward the peaceful mountains of Mai Chau, a green valley embraced by limestone cliffs and shimmering rice terraces.
Along the way, stop at a Muong ethnic village, where wooden stilt houses dot the hillsides and locals greet you with gentle smiles. Continue through Thung Khe Pass, one of Northern Vietnam’s most scenic viewpoints — a place where clouds drift over the valley, creating a dreamlike panorama of mist, fields, and mountains.
By late morning, arrive in Mai Chau Valley, home of the White Thai ethnic group — known for their warmth, graceful stilt houses, and vibrant woven fabrics. Check in to your cozy accommodation and relax over a delicious local lunch.
In the afternoon, enjoy a leisurely cycling or walking tour through the valley. Wind along quiet paths framed by bamboo and lush rice paddies, passing water buffalo and farmers tending their crops. Visit the villages of Lac, Na Phon, and Pom Coong, where daily life unfolds at a gentle pace — women weaving colorful brocade, children laughing in the sunshine, elders chatting under the shade of ancient trees.
As the sun dips behind the mountains, the valley glows golden. Return to your hotel and unwind in the calm evening air. For those who wish, an optional traditional dance and music show can be arranged, featuring Thai villagers performing by firelight — an enchanting glimpse into their joyful culture, best enjoyed with a sip of local rice wine.
