Embark on an immersive 5-day journey through the serene and spectacular heart of North-East Vietnam. This carefully curated tour takes you off the beaten path to discover a region of unparalleled natural beauty and deep cultural richness.

Your adventure begins at Ba Be National Park, where Vietnam's largest natural freshwater lake is cradled by limestone mountains and lush forests. Here, you'll trade the urban hustle for the gentle pace of a traditional boat ride, gliding across the serene waters to discover hidden caves and waterfalls. This is where you connect with nature and the traditional way of life of the Tay ethnic people, whose stilt houses dot the lake's shores, offering a truly authentic cultural experience.

The highlight of the tour is the breathtaking Bac Son Valley. Tucked away and surrounded by towering karst peaks, this valley is a hidden gem. From a mountain viewpoint, you will witness one of Vietnam's most iconic and spectacular scenes: a patchwork of vibrant green and yellow rice fields stretching out in a mesmerizing mosaic, with a river weaving through the center. The sheer beauty of this landscape, especially during the harvest seasons, is unforgettable and provides a perfect opportunity for stunning photography.
The final leg of your journey takes you through Huu Lung, a lesser-known but equally beautiful area, offering more opportunities for trekking and connecting with the pristine environment before you return to Hanoi.

Upon arrival, we’ll check into our traditional Tay ethnic homestay, your cozy base for the night.
In the afternoon, you’ll have the option of a gentle bike ride or a short drive to explore the magnificent Hua Ma Cave. This geological marvel is a sight to behold, with a vast chamber filled with countless stalactites and stalagmites. Later, we'll take a relaxed walk through Pac Ngoi Village, a Tay community known for its traditional stilt houses perched along the riverbank. This is your first opportunity to meet the locals and experience their peaceful, traditional way of life.

Next, we’ll cruise through the mystical Puong Cave, a massive limestone tunnel carved by the river and home to a large colony of bats. After this awe-inspiring experience, the boat will drop us off at Cao Thuong Pier, where our driver will be waiting.
We'll then drive to Quang Uyen, a beautiful rural district. The journey offers captivating views, and you'll have an optional stop in Cao Bang city for a coffee and a quick overview of the area’s history, including the 1979 border conflict.
