On the first day of this trek northwest Vietnam we depart by car to the North Vietnam Mountains via the tea region. National road 32 takes us to the provinces of Phu Tho and Yen Bai. Lunch at a local restaurant in Thu Cuc, a village known for its tea culture, and meeting with a family who works in the cultivation and processing of this drink. We then take the road to go to a beekeeper, where we can taste an excellent lemon honey tea. Transfer to Muong Lo – the second rice granary in the North West Vietnam and the capital of the Thai. Here, for 700 years, locals have cultivated rice using a clever irrigation system. Villagers build their traditional houses out of ironwood (iroko wood) and bamboo. Arrival at Chao Ha village in the late afternoon. The warm welcome from Mr. Binh and his family will make us forget the fatigue of the transfer. It is possible to participate in the preparation of dinner with his wife and his mother in order to discover the local gastronomy.
After breakfast, short transfer to the small town of Tu Le, known for its sticky rice and authentic houses. From the village, we set off on foot for our first hike in the mountains of North Vietnam. We cross many villages where we discover the daily life of the H’mong and Thai ethnic groups. The path then rises on the hillsides to reach the village of Tong, nestled in the middle of a small chestnut forest and surrounded by cultivated fields. The lunch break is taken in the form of a picnic prepared by our hosts the day before. In the afternoon, we resume our walk to a pass from where the view of the villages and rice terraces is simply magnificent. The minibus picks us up further and drives us to a local inn in Tu Le for the night.
After breakfast, we make a short transfer to the region of La Pan Tan, with its incredible terraced fields, the pride of the H’mong ethnic group. Residing on these lands for a hundred years, the Hmong are very attached to their culture. Dressed in traditional clothes, speaking their own dialect, they acquired a know-how allowing them to live in perfect autonomy. These people produce everything they need, such as corn, rice or flax used to sew clothes. A magnificent balcony path leads through this maze of rice fields to meet the villagers who work there. The landscapes are exceptionally beautiful and the encounters colorful! After the picnic, a small track leads us to Cau Ba Nha, where the bus awaits us to take us to Mu Cang Chai for the night.
After an early wake up, we hike from Mu Cang Chai to Che Cu Nha, the capital of the rice terraces of the country. We never tire of these typical landscapes: cultivated valleys, hillsides sculpted by rice fields, and meetings with the villagers in traditional clothes. We then take the road to discover another mountainous region via the hill resort of Sapa. This pretty mountain road leads to the Tram Ton pass, the highest in the country (2047 m). Fabulous landscapes and superb views of the Hoang Lien National Park where Mount Fanxipan is located: the country’s highest point at 3,143 meters, it is the roof of Indochina. The mountain landscapes we cross are among the most beautiful in the region, and life is everywhere. At the end of the afternoon, we arrive at our hosts’ place to spend the night.
After breakfast, we set off to explore Hoang Lien National Park. A magnificent hike gives us access to traditional villages little frequented by travelers. Our lunch break will be picnic or in a local eatery. In the afternoon, we cross an even wilder place, with pretty hamlets of the Hmong ethnic group and magnificent rice terraces. At the end of the afternoon, it’s time to join our minibus and Lao Cai train station. There we take a shower and dinner at a small local restaurant before taking the night train to Hanoi. Trek Northwest Vietnam 5 Days is completed.
