North West Adventure

North West  Adventure Tour

During this cultural expedition, you will enjoy the best of North West Vietnam in the areas of Mai Chau, Son La, Dien Bien Phu, Lai Chau and Sapa. The mountainous North West provides the perfect terrain for trekking routes. The Thai minority, a warm and friendly ethnic group, welcomes you into their homes and share their ways of life. The roads wind precariously across the mountain ranges, capturing the intensely varied lifestyles of the Vietnamese people.
