TRIP ITINERARY

NIGHT 1: ARRIVAL DATE - THON THA

Upon your arrival time, your transfer driver will pick you up from Ha Giang bus station and take you to your homestay in Thon Tha village. Check in at the homestay and enjoy your free time. Explore the village by walking around, visiting some local families, and enjoying Thon Tha’s landscapes. This night will be spent at a Tay traditional house. Please see more details in the YESD bus guidelines.

Day 1: THON THA – KHUOI MY – LUNG VAI – HA THANH -18KM – STEEP ROUTE

After breakfast, at 8:30 AM start your Ha Giang Trekker tour through a valley route up to the mountain linking Thon Tha and Khuoi My villages. Your local guide will tell you some local stories, and share information about the Dao Ao Dai ethnic people and culture. Khuoi My village is home to about 200 Dao Ao Dai households, located at the edge of the highest mountain in Northeast Vietnam namely “Tay Con Linh” peak.

In the afternoon, you will trek and hike to Ha Thanh village, which is famous for its mesmerizing waterfall. Visitors can go for a swim or just lie down on the grass and enjoy the peaceful view. Then, look forward to the next two days filled with trekking and exploring the beautiful area. On this night, you will stay at the same local Tay homestay.

Day 2: THON THA – NAM TE – MAU PHIN – XA PHIN – 16km

At 8 AM, be ready to start your Ha Giang trekker to Xa Phin hamlet – called “small Hoang Su Phi”. Roofs of stilt houses covered with thick green moss at an altitude of 1,000 meters above sea level, the Tay Con Linh mountain range that outlines the whole area of Xa Phin hamlet, the Phuong Tien commune, as well as Vi Xuyen district all contribute to the uniqueness and beauty of this mountainous region.

In Xa Phin hamlet, the all-year-round cool weather creates favorable conditions for plants to grow and thrive, especially the green moss on the damp palm-leaf roofs of the stilt houses. Xa Phin village is often cloudy, covered in mist with high humidity accompanied by drizzle. So make sure to bring the right outerwear. Overnight will be spent at a Dao ethnic homestay in Xa Phin.

Day 3: XA PHIN – NA MAU – PHUONG TIEN – THON THA – 18km

Xa Phin hamlet is a part of the Tay Con Linh mountain range, which is known for its ancient tea tree. One of the most famous teas of this region is the Ancient Shan Tuyet tea that grows in the Tay Con Linh mountains at altitudes between 1300 to 1700m above sea level. “Shan” translates to “High Mountain” and “Tuyet” translates to “Snow”, so there is no wonder the climate in the mountainous region is very suitable. It is an essential part of the Vietnamese tea culture, each tea bud is hand-picked, by a member of the local ethnic minority group that lives in the area, from the ancient trees aged from 150 to over 700 years.

In the morning you will go harvest some tea in the forest with a local tea expert. They will educate you about the Vietnamese tea culture, the impact and importance of climate on different types of tea in Ha Giang, and most importantly they will show you how to properly brew your morning cup of tea.

Then, you will have lunch at a local homestay, and continue your Ha Giang trekker tour to Thon Tha village through the breathtaking, buffalo-filled, rice paddies. Dinner will be served back at your homestay in Thon Tha. Afterward, you will be taking overnight transport back to Hanoi and ending our Ha Giang trekker tour.
