Day 1: Ha Giang Trekking.
Arrival in Ha Giang early this morning, you will be met up with the local team of Hiking Vietnam and brought to the trekking base. Depending on your group size, we will use motor-taxi or car for the transfer that takes around a half hour. Arrival in the trekking base is a Tay village. The village has around 100 households, dominated by the Tay group. You start your trek by following a village path for about one hour before you make the first stop for visiting a house of the Tay. Spend a little time for exploring their traditional house, customs and traditions. Keep trekking uphill for around two more hours through primitive forest, tea plantations and terraced paddy fields. You arrive then in a village of the Black Dzao, located by the hillside. There you make another break for lunch, provided at local home. In the afternoon, you continue hiking uphill for another 3.5 hours before you arrive in a village of the Dzao “long dress”. The Ao Dai in their name is due to the similarity of their tunic to the Ao Dai of the Viet Kinh. However, it is usually hooked up at the front. A distinctive bonnet of black and red material embroidered at the edges and decorated with colored tassels and small coins is also worn. There you have time for a short walk before having dinner at local home.
Day 2: Ha Giang Trekking.
After breakfast, provided at local home, you trek downhill for about a half hour from the Dzao village to a Nung’s Dao village where both the Nung and the Dzao live together. With a total population of over 700,000 the Nung constitute the seventh largest ethnic minority group in Vietnam. Nung communities are found today mainly in Cao Bang and Lang Son provinces, but they are also settled in parts of Ha Giang province. A stop is scheduled for visiting local houses or the local primary school (if possible). You keep trekking uphill for about three more hours until you reach a summit pass. Arrival at the Top of the pass at about 12.30, you make a stop where your lunch is provided in the open air. You spend the afternoon admiring the beauty of terraced rice fields, the tea plantations of the Dzao “long dress” and the La Chi. The hiking trail of the afternoon trek is larger, easier taking you to La Chi village at about 16.00. Enjoy homes-hosted dinner and spend the night at local home.
Day 3: Hoang Su Phi Town.
Breakfast is provided at local home. Departure at 9.00 AM. You follow a dirt road which leads to another community of the La Chi. There is a stop is scheduled for your discovery of the Vietnam smallest ethnic group. Follow a small trail that runs in zigzag through green forest and isolated villages of the H’mong, the Tay and the Nung, the trek last for about three hours before you make a short stop for lunch. Keep trekking in the afternoon until you get into Hoang Su Phi town at around 16.00pm. Lying at the bottom of towelling Tay Con Linh mountains, Hoang Su Phi is famous not only for its most beautiful terraced fields but also its traditional market where people from the ethnic minority groups of Tay, Nung, Dao and H’Mong gather from early morning to mid-day every Sunday. Check into a local hotel for overnight.
Day 4: Hoang Su Phi – Hanoi.
Hoang Su Phi Market is one of the more isolated markets in the north and multiple minorities come for the Sunday Market. This is a traditional market for local villagers to meet and barter their products with each other such as cassava, honey, bamboo shoots, eggs, fruits and poultry for a weekly stock of foods. Many have to walk a dozen kilometres from Ban Luoc, San Xa Ho and Nam Ty hamlets to join other ethnic minority people wearing colourful costumes on their way to the market. We have breakfast at the guest-house and then walk to the market for a two hour visit and then travel back to the main road Ha Giang – Hanoi. Picked up again by the Ha Giang public open bus and brought to Hanoi.
