Bac Son Bounty: 2-Day Discovery

Departing from Hanoi around 8:00 a.m., tourists will be transferred through the mountainous region of Thai Nguyen province, a place well known for its imposing mountain range and home to one of Vietnam's largest national parks. Additionally, the unique stilt houses, remarkable scenes will surely entertain visitors and there is an opportunity to stop for photos. Just at noon, you will arrive at Quynh Son village, a tourist village in Bac Son commune. We will have lunch in a house on stilts with dishes highlighting local cuisine. Immerse yourself in the friendly atmosphere and enjoy the hospitality of the villagers.

In the afternoon, it's time to stroll around Quynh Son village, which is known as the home of the Tay people, an ethnic group of Vietnam. Here you can freely experience the life of the locals, their rich culture and customs. Then it's time to climb Na Lay Mountain, a famous destination but very close to our accommodation. Starting from the base of the mountain, you will travel to the top where the cell phone tower is located. At this precise moment, a landscape mixing sunlight, the green of the fields, the blue of the sky will ultimately be captured in your eyes.

But don't be amazed by the landscape without forgetting to take photos of this moment, because that would surely be a waste. Then we will descend and return to our homestay for the night. You will be welcomed with a local meal prepared by the host to recover energy after a long journey. For the rest of the day, locals are open to any conversation to learn about their rich culture.

In the morning, after enjoying a good traditional village meal, you will go to a nearby tile factory. You will have the chance to visit this family factory which uses a very old and traditional technique to produce tiles for most of the stilt houses in the region.

Then, after observing this unique factory for a while, we will transfer you to a small valley where you will start your exciting trek. Following a small concrete path you will see a number of quiet houses, rice fields before venturing into a large forest surrounded by trees and pleasant breezes. After a while, you will reach the summit and look out over the entire area laid out before you. It's high time to reward yourself by breathing fresh air, taking photos or simply relaxing in the middle of Heaven and Earth.

After admiring the magnificent scene, you will travel to the next valley and descend the hill on the buffalo path. If you are lucky, you might get a chance to observe the locals' farming scene. Returning to our homestay, you will have lunch and take a short break to regain your strength. Then you will say goodbye to our host and be transferred back to Hanoi, arriving around 6:00 p.m.
