Northern Hill Tribes,6 days

Trek to the 1900 metres high Tram Ton Pass and meet the local hill tribes at Sa Pa on this tour.


Overview
Explore the beautiful hill station of Sa Pa and the villages of the hill tribes on this holiday in Vietnam. Start your journey from Hanoi and travel towards the Lao border past Hoa Binh and Moc Chau to Son La. Spend the night at Son La and drive west the next day towards Tuan Giao, a small town between Son La and Lai Chau. Meet the colourful hill tribes who live in this region, most noticeable of whom are the Dzao tribes who wear huge headdresses and bright clothes. Stroll around the village that is surrounded by hills and green fields, and get a glimpse of a day in the life of the tribes. Visit the Dien Bien Phu, a battle site in which the French were defeated, bringing an end to the colonial era of Indochina. Visit the Bunker of de Castries, where the headquarters of a French commander has been recreated with old tanks and artillery. Revel in the solitude and beauty of Dien Bien Phu, one of the most remote parts of Vietnam in the Muong Thanh Valley that is surrounded by steep heavily forested hills. The next morning, drive from Dien Bien Phu along mountain roads through green valleys inhabited by various minority tribes, to Muong Lay (formerly known as Lai Chau). It is a small town nestled in a beautiful valley that was carved out of spectacular mountains by the Da River. Walk around the village, meet the hill tribes and listen to tales of their tradition and lore. The next day, drive from Muong Lay on mountain roads past minority villages to Sa Pa. Explore the hill station of Sa Pa which is nestled in a valley and surrounded by the Fansipan Mountain. You’ll meet Hmong and Dzao, the largest and most colourful tribes in the region. Visit the Thac Bac Waterfall that cascades 100 metres down on palm-fringed pools. It is best viewed in the rainy season! Take a hiking excursion to the 1900 metres high Tram Ton Pass to the north of Fansipan Mountain and enjoy a panoramic view of the surrounding countryside. It is the highest mountain pass in Vietnam. The next day, travel back to Hanoi. With stunning mountainous landscape and ethnic villages, this is one family holiday in Vietnam you can’t afford to miss!
