Itinerary

Expand All Close All
Day 1: Hanoi – Pu Luong (L, D)

Your journey begins as you leave the hustle of Hanoi and venture southwest toward Mai Chau. The 3.5-hour scenic drive introduces you to Vietnam's rural beauty: vast rice paddies shimmer in the morning sun, while limestone peaks loom gently in the distance.

Entering Pu Luong via a spectacular mountain pass, your first panoramic view is nothing short of cinematic. The green valley below welcomes you with mist-kissed terraces, waterwheels turning slowly in the streams, and quiet villages nestled on hillsides. As part of your exclusive Vietnam boutique tour, every step is curated to bring you deeper into this untouched paradise.

Your trek today winds through mountain trails lined with bamboo and banana trees. Along the way, you'll pass traditional water wheels, observe local farming practices, and connect with villagers who still preserve their ancestral customs. A picnic lunch awaits amidst nature, followed by a relaxed hike to your accommodation — either a charming stilt house or a peaceful boutique eco-resort, where dinner features local specialties like grilled mountain pork, bamboo-tube rice, and stir-fried forest vegetables.

Overnight: Pu Luong in a boutique stilt house or eco-lodge.

Day 2: Uoi – Lan – Pho Doan – Hieu Villages (B, L)

Wake up to the sound of birds and distant flowing water, then enjoy a breakfast of freshly made sticky rice, local eggs, and mountain tea. Your day begins with an easy yet breathtaking walk through Pu Luong's most iconic valley — a sea of rice terraces descending into Uoi Village. This is your chance to photograph postcard-perfect landscapes with golden rice fields framed by lush jungle and limestone cliffs.

Wander onward into Lan Village, stopping to rest at a local home where you can sip herbal tea and chat with villagers. Crossing wooden bridges and winding past stilt houses and grazing buffalo, the trail leads you to Pho Doan and eventually to Hieu Hamlet — home to two majestic waterfalls. These rushing cascades cut through the forest, winding past homes, footpaths, and rice fields in a mesmerizing natural symphony.

Lunch features locally sourced ingredients — think mountain herbs, fish caught fresh from the stream, and home-fermented pickles. Here, cuisine is a celebration of simplicity and sustainability.

Overnight: Hieu Hamlet in a traditional stilt house or boutique mountain lodge.

Day 3: Pu Luong – Hanoi (B, L)

After a hearty breakfast, we explore Pho Doan town. If it's Thursday or Sunday, you'll witness the lively ethnic market filled with color and chatter. Locals from surrounding villages gather to sell textiles, produce, and handmade tools in a festive showcase of traditional life.

Our final trek today follows the tranquil banks of the Ma River, where water buffalo bathe and children play under the sun. A picnic lunch awaits you riverside, before your private transfer brings you back to Hanoi, leaving behind the quiet hum of waterfalls and birdsong, yet carrying with you unforgettable stories from one of the most exquisite Vietnam boutique tours.
