Day 01: Hanoi - Hoabinh - Boat trip - Maichau (L/D)
We depart Hanoi and head west towards Hoa Binh City where we stop for refreshments. Leaving Hoa Binh we climb towards the Mai Chau valley, another two hours away, stopping on the way to take in the spectacular scenery. Following lunch in Mai Chau town, we drive to the White Thai village of Poomcong.

This afternoon we walk to the surrounding village. Our hosts for this evening will be the White Thai minority people. In sampling these people's hospitality, we find out a little more about their lives and cultures with a cultural exchange following the evening meal.
Tonight’s accommodation will probably be a little more rustic than you would be used to.

Day 02: Maichau village - Lac & Van villages (B/L)
Following breakfast we embark on a lovely walk to Lac village and Van village. As we walk, we will encounter the local villagers going about their daily business tilling the fields, logging, or herding the buffalo. We will enjoy lunch in Maichau before we drive back to Hanoi stopping to visit Muong village in Hoabinh along the way.
