You will return to the hotel in the late afternoon, and the rest of the day is at your leisure.
After an early breakfast, depart at 8am from your hotel and head towards Mai Chau, a beautiful valley with a patchwork quilt pattern of rice terraces and villages which are home to the White Thai people. Mai Chau is known for its stunning scenery of palms, green mountains, rice fields and picturesque stilt houses. On arrival, take some time to freshen up, relax and enjoy lunch.

After breakfast, depart from your accommodation on a short drive (approximately 1 hour) to the heights of Hoa Binh province and the rocky plateau of Hang Kia. The sceneries are changing as you ascend, plum trees and corn fields replace the rice paddies, we enter H’mong ethnic lands, where people are colorfully dressed and living in wooden cottages. You will be welcomed by a local H’mong family, with whom you will do a traditional Batik workshop. Learn ancestral techniques and unveil the secrets of the H’mong fabric. You will have lunch at the local home, an opportunity to discover a little more about the H’mong culture through the gastronomy.
In the afternoon, you will take a three hour downhill hike back to the valley of Mai Chau. The hike is scenic, on single trails and rather easy (can be a bit slippery in wet weather). Walking down offers great views over wild stretches of land secluded between mountains. It ends in a sub-valley of Mai Chau called Mai Hich, where your vehicle awaits to transfer back to the lodge (about 20 minutes). If you prefer not to do the hike, the car will drive you back from Hang Kia to the lodge in the afternoon. The rest of the day is at your own leisure.
