Mai Chau Valley / 2 Days

The Mai Chau area, located in an idyllic valley northwest of Vietnam, in the Hoa Binh province, is a 160km drive (99 miles) from Hanoi. This small city is a favorite tourist destination, mainly due to its profound wild beauty and magnificent scenery that parts from impressive limestone mountains, picturesque villages, lush rice paddies and sugarcane plantations that go beyond the eye’s reach. Through a 4-hour drive, you will be able not only to see splendid natural surroundings, but also dive into enjoyable activities and familiarize yourself with the local cultures and people.

Away from the city’s hassle and bustle, Mai Chau is a desirable oasis in the midst of our super-fast paced lives. With a much simpler and more relaxed manner of living, unpolluted fresh air and beautiful women that have mastered the art of weaving as it has been being passed on from one generation to another, it is highly unlikely you will not fall in love with this place after this 2-day tour!

Day 1: Hanoi – Mai Chau (170Km/ approx. 6 hours)

We depart from Hanoi and, with the river as our companion, we head north to Hong Son Lake. On the way, you can admire the enthralling scenery, comprised of small islands crowned with tall evergreen trees and endless limestone peaks that provide an ideal combination of peace and wilderness in perfect balance.

Our ride continues up north and goes on giving us breathtaking views, as we ride on smooth, flat road until we reach Maichau in the afternoon. You can take some time to wander around the place, get to know the people and explore the town a bit more, just before dinnertime.

After enjoying your dinner, you have the opportunity to watch a local festive, the Thai Dance music show with traditional Thai music.

Overnight at Thai traditional stilt house.

Day 2: Mai Chau – Hanoi (150km/approx. 5 hours)

Today, we head back to Hanoi from a totally different and equally fascinating route. As we ride east north, we will go past the famous Thung Khe pass, and all the way to the city of Hoa Binh, Vietnam’s largest hydroelectric dam (and probably the largest in South Asia, too).
With minor exceptions of a handful of bends along the way, the ride today will be easy, and take you from the highland Vietnam to the Hoa Binh, the Da River and finally back to Hanoi.
Depending on your mood, we can either head straight back to Hanoi by road, or challenge ourselves with a bit of off-roading, and see more of this fascinating country! You make the calls!

Estimated Arrival at Hanoi: 5:00 P.M
