Transfer from Hanoi to Mai Chau – cycle tour of local traditional villages in the area.

You will be transferred in the morning to Mai Chau from your location in Hanoi. The area is simply beautiful, with many traditional hill tribes living in harmony with each other.

At about lunchtime, we will arrive in Mai Chau, and we will stop to eat and have a rest.

Check-in will be available from 2pm, following which you will have the chance to continue your bike journey to the settlements of Na Tang and Cha Long. These villages are off the beaten track and far from the tourist trail – the perfect chance to get to know a bit more detail about the local culture. You will be escorted back to your accommodation with enough time to freshen up and have a quick rest before your evening meal, prepared by your hosts.

After you have eaten and sampled some of the delicious food local to the area you will be invited to view a display of ethnic dance. Enjoy this spectacle with a nice glass or two of local wine, before heading to bed for a well-deserved rest.
