About this tour
Two-day trek through Vietnam's rural highlands with a local guide who knows the region's tribal communities, geography and history intimately. You'll walk quiet trails away from main tourist paths, then spend the night in a homestay or family house where you can sit by the fire and talk with your hosts. All transport, meals and accommodation are included. Your fees support local families directly in an area where most people live below the poverty line.

What to expect
Expect walking on village paths and hillside trails for several hours each day at a steady pace. You'll pass through hamlets where life moves at its own rhythm, stopping to rest and observe daily routines. Your guide will explain the history and customs of the different ethnic groups living here. The overnight stay is basic but genuine—you'll eat with your hosts, use simple facilities and sleep in their home. Mornings start early; bring layers as mountain weather shifts quickly.
Good to know
You need moderate fitness and good health; the trek involves sustained walking on uneven ground. Pregnant women, those with spinal or heart conditions should not book. Bring comfortable hiking shoes, a torch, and any personal medications. Wifi and hot showers are available at homestay options. Children must sit on an adult's lap during transport.
