Day 2Sat, Apr 26, 2025
Hoang Su Phi
Explore nearby mountains, tropical forests, rice terraces, and stay in Red Dao village
9:00 AM: Depart from your accommodation with your local guide to explore the nearby mountains, trekking through tropical forests and rice terraces. After a three-hour hike, take a break in a Red Dao village for lunch. Out of necessity, the villagers have sculpted the mountainside and utilized its watercourses to grow rice. These laborious adjustments enable them to live at higher altitudes and provide you with unique landscapes to contemplate. The cooler climate and abundant fresh water also contribute to the growth of lush tea trees.
After a two-hour walk in the afternoon, you will reach another Red Dao village where we will stop for the night. Spend the rest of the day on a short stroll to explore the village, allowing you to discover the local vegetation, meet the local people, and observe their daily activities.

Great trip
For us, this Ha Giang hiking tour was incredible. It is perfect way to experience the natural beauty and cultural richness of northern Vietnam! Hiking through the Hoang Su Phi rice terraces was absolutely breathtaking. We stayed overnight in a warm and hospitable local family's house. The itinerary is really well paced, with a good balance of challenging hikes and opportunities to relax and soak in the scenery. This area is a hidden gem. Absolutely recommend this tour.
