This tour is for those who are adventurous but who maybe are not up to long treks. It explores the remote far north of Vietnam, often close to the Chinese border. This is the land of the ethnic minorities, and it is one of the few places left in this global world where one’s family and locality can be identified by dress alone. Prepare yourself for a riot of colour, from the ethnic clothes to the rice paddies. You will have a chance to interrelate with the locals by staying in Homestays, in a variety of villages and mountainous regions.Route: Hanoi - Nghia Lo - Mu Cang Chai - Sapa - Hoang Su Phi - Ha Giang - Cao Bang - Ba Be National ParkDay 1: Hanoi - Nghia Lo (L/D)Day 2: Nghia Lo - Mu Cang Chai (B/L/D)Day 3: Mu Cang Chai - Sapa (B/L/D)Day 4: Sapa - Bac Ha - Hoang Su Phi (B/L/D)Day 5 Hoang Su Phi (B/L/D)Day 6: Ha Giang - Dong Van - Meo Vac (B/L/D)Day 7: Meo Vac - Bao Lac - Cao Bang (B/L/D)Day 8: Ban Gioc Waterfall - Ba Be Lake (B/L/D)Day 9: Ba Be Lake - Hanoi (B/L)
