The 5-day trek is provided in the less travel places in northern Vietnam. You trek through remote hill tribe villages from Bac Ha to Ha Giang, meeting up with H’mong, Phu La, Red Dzao, Tay and Nung people. Most of the nights are spent at local homes in villages (homestay) offering a real, authentic life experience. There are about 6 hours trek per day with up and downhill climbs (hard treks). The hike is recommended for active travelers seeking an off-the-beaten path itinerary that takes them to remote, less traveled places in Vietnam. Food and accommodation are simple and basic.
