Full day with lunch and cycling
A full day out of Hanoi to the green valley of Mai Chau: the view from Thung Khe Pass, lunch in the valley and an afternoon bike ride through Thai stilt-house villages.
Pick-up at your hotel in Hanoi's Old Quarter. If the street cannot be reached because of traffic, we will meet you at a convenient nearby point.
Drive west along winding mountain roads, through the countryside of the Muong and Thai people, where villages sit between valleys and limestone hills.
Stop at the top of Thung Khe Pass (weather permitting) for a panoramic view over Mai Chau Valley, and browse the small roadside market selling Muong produce.
Lunch in Mai Chau (vegetarian options available).
Cycle through the valley to a traditional Thai village. See the stilt houses and how families weave traditional fabrics and brocade by hand.
Drop-off at your hotel in Hanoi.
