Trekking is 4-5 hours of medium grade walking through rice paddies and jungle. Overnight in a welcoming Hmong village under basic but comfortable conditions to explore and meet the locals. Dinner will be prepared by your guide and the local family.

We’ll arrive mid-afternoon and have more time to explore these expansive villages with schools, diverse activities, and children playing. Explore the villages and experience real local life. Enjoy your evening and relax for tomorrow’s mountain peak hike!

Our biggest trek of these three days.
