Morning activities

Your Mai Chau day trip from Hanoi begins with a comfortable pick-up from your hotel. As you leave the city behind, the scenery slowly changes into peaceful mountain landscapes, especially the Thung Khe Pass, one of the most beautiful passes on the route from Hanoi to Mai Chau.

Upon arriving in Mai Chau Valley, you are welcomed by fresh air, green rice fields, and the gentle rhythm of rural life in Pom Coong Village. You’ll have time to explore a traditional stilt house of the Thai people, meet local families, and learn about their daily activities. A Vietnamese lunch with local flavors is served at a family-run restaurant in the village.
