MAI CHAU VALLEY TREKKING (4 days)
Day 1. Hanoi –Xa Linh – Hang Kia (4 hours)
Leave Hanoi early morning by road
arriving at Xa Linh for a home-cooked lunch. Following lunch begin
trekking to Hang Kia. After an easy start on dirt paths, trek down two
slippery streambeds before climbing up a steep mountainside. The
vegetation is dense and the trail down is steep. The path eventually
leads to an open valley, known locally as “Elephant Valley”, where
there is a flat trail. The trail leads up and over a final pass before
descending down a rocky path to the H’mong village of Hang Kia.
Overnight in Hang Kia.
Day 2. Hang Kia – Cun Pheo (6 hours)
Today’s trekking is mainly
downhill, and the scenery a contrast to the previous day. Begin with a
gentle descent on a wide track, which turns into a narrow path, which
winds through hamlets, cultivated fields and affords beautiful views of
the Mai Chau Valley below. The trekking is challenging involving
several stream crossings, steep descents and balancing between rice
paddies! There are spectacular views of karst rock mountains in the
distance. The path crosses two suspension bridges before arriving at
Cun Pheo, a village of the White Thai minority. Overnight in Cun Pheo.
Day 3. Cun Pheo – Sam Khoe – Xo village (5 hours)
After a leisurely start begin
trekking along jeepable trails past many villages to Sam Khue and
refreshments. From here trek a further few kms before eventually
conquering a steep uphill. Overnight in the wonderful village of Xo,
another White Thai village nestled high on the mountainside.
Day 4. Xo village – Pom Coong – Hanoi (4hours)
After breakfast in the village
continue contouring the mountainside and trek a final few km uphill
before reaching the pass. From the top it is an 11km hike downhill all
the way to Pom Coong village nestled in the Mai Chau Valley. Have lunch
and rest weary bones. In the afternoon transfer back to Hanoi by road.
