This 3-day Trekking Adventure to Hoang Su Phi takes you the untouched beauty of Thong Nguyen Commune which is inhabited mostly by the Dao ethnic group. The trek is moderate, and the scenery includes mountains, tea plantations, terraced fields and forests. Accommodation is at a Dao family home overlooking these spectacular landscapes. As this is an adventure tour aimed at providing an authentic Vietnamese rural experience, you may have the impression that the homestay is quite rudimentary in facilities, but it is nonetheless comfortable and this Spartan living situation is very much a part of the experience itself.
Our tour guide will pick you up at 8:00 A.M from your hotel in Hanoi and take you along Route 2 heading northeast towards Ha Giang. On the way we will pass many scenic areas with great photo opportunities like Tam Dao (Vinh Phuc) and Tuyen Quang. Once we reach Tuyen Quang City, we will be travelling along the Lo River as it’s flanked by grapefruit, tangerine and orange plantations all the way Viet Quang Town.
Here we will enjoy a local lunch from a street vendor, before turning onto the small roads winding their way through the mountainous terrain, eventually reaching our homestay operated by a local Dzao family by mid-afternoon. Here you will have free time to explore the peaceful and fresh atmosphere of the village, or simply take the rest of the day to relax and enjoy the local Dzao dinner cooked by your host.
After waking up at the homestay and enjoying the home-cooked breakfast, we set out on a 6-7 hour trek to explore the many villages situated on high altitudes around Thong Nguyen. The path will carry us upwards for about half an hour before spilling out into scenes of lush forest, tea plantations, terraced rice fields and majestic mountain slopes. During our hike we will stop for lunch with another local family, and many encounters can be had with the locals along the path.
We’ll arrive back at the homestay in mid afternoon, at which time you’re free to utilize the rest of the day as you see fit, before having dinner and overnighting again at the homestay.
For our final day we’ll a last meal with our host family for breakfast, and then get back in the van and travel back to Hanoi, stopping for lunch on the road along the way. You’ll arrive back at your hotel in Hanoi in the early evening, when it will be time to say goodbye to your guide, driver and group.
