Mai Chau is located around 150km from Hanoi in a peaceful valley sheltered by the outside world by a dramatic ring of hills. Its isolation has allowed a traditional way of life to thrive in a way that you wouldn’t expect so close to the capital city. Mai Chau Valley is the adjoining villages of Ban Lac and Pom Coong. Here it’s all about bamboo stilt houses and paddy fields, with a feel that’s more like rural Laos or Thailand than Vietnam.
Full itinerary
In the morning, tour guide and driver pick you up from hotel, transfer to Mai Chau. Along the way you can enjoy spectacular views as the road snakes through meandering valleys. Once you arrive in the Thai Village, you can take a short stroll to visit some of the ethnic Thai people living here and enjoy lunch in their home. Next we’ll take you for a cycling tour around the area to observe the farmers hard at work in the fields, local women weaving scarves and to feel the general peace and serenity of the surrounding villages.
Afternoon, ride a bike to the remote villages, discovering the natural beauty of the valley and the culture of the ethnic minority Thai people on our visits to the Pom Coong and Na Phon villages.
