Arguably one of the most beautiful places in Indochina, northwest Vietnam offers the more adventurous traveler an authentic taste of traditional hill tribe life.

The majestic mountains rise dramatically from the fertile plains and numerous rivers and streams provide ideal conditions for the terraced paddy fields to thrive.

Visit a local market

Woven into this dramatic landscape are the simple houses of the ethnic minorities who continue to live a lifestyle that has remained unchanged for centuries. If possible we will time your trip to coincide with one of the bustling weekly markets that take place in the villages dotted among the surrounding hills. These markets are an undisputable highlight and many colorful ethnic minorities come down from their settlements to trade.

Whilst pockets of the northwest have already been discovered, for the more determined traveler who is prepared to venture off the beaten track the rewards are immense.
