5.00The routes were varied and scenic, and Tan explained everything along the way, which made the experience even more meaningful. We met local people, stayed in their homes, and got a real sense of their daily life. It was such an authentic and unforgettable experience. I highly recommend the 3-day trek — especially with Tan as your guide!

5.00Around the hotel, you can do everything on foot or by bike—no need for a guide. We saw many locals drying rice, which was a lovely and authentic sight. As for shopping, you’ll mostly find the usual: silk scarves, Hmong clothing, and other local crafts.
Welcoming team and informative guide
