Mai Chau Valley

Opt : 2days/1night - private tour

Trip code: MCNP2D

Isolated Mai Chau and the nearby villages are in a valley around 139km from Hanoi and only 150 metres above sea level. Nestled between two towering cliffs and surrounded by emerald green paddies, it is an enchanting sight as you approach down the windy cliff side road and the villages and surrounding countryside present an idyllic rural scene that could easily charm you into staying longer than intended. The majestic nature, peaceful landscapes and enthusiasm of the Thai locals will definitely leave unforgettable impressions in tourists' mind.

 

Despite this tourist-driven set-up, and the regular influx of visitors, the villages remain a relatively peaceful retreat, and it’s heartening to see how the influx of tourist dollars hasn’t changed the essential character of the locals, which we gauge to be as warm and easy-going as you please.

Mai Chau Valley

Opt : 3days/2nights - private tour

Trip code: MCPL3D

You want to visit both Mai Chau and Pu Luong but you don’t have enough time and budget? We offer you the 3-day group tour to Mai Chau and Pu Luong at more reasonable price. You will have plenty of activities such as trekking, biking, motor-biking, dancing and partying as well.

 

Pu Luong (Pù Luông) is located on the cusp of Hoa Binh and Thanh Hoa provinces, about 160km southwest of Hanoi. It’s a popular weekend getaway for locals, but sees relatively few foreign visitors. This makes a nice change from the nearby and wildly popular Mai Chau, which is overrun with tourists at this time of year.
