From 6:30 - 7:00 AM, you will commence from your Hanoi hotel to our ecolodge. After checking in your bungalow, you will enjoy the beautiful and peaceful view of the surrounding mountains and valleys from your private balcony. You will start the afternoon cycling trip by following the main road for 3 km to Lech village of the Red Dzao minority, enjoying the magnificent valley view on the way. Here you will leave your bikes and take a short walk on dirt road to visit a traditional Red Dao family and experience the culture of the minority villagers who are living peacefully in the same way as their ancestors. Back at the parking place, you will take a further ride to the Moi village and learn how the women in their doorways are doing their embroidery, which the Red Dao people are very famous for. From the village, you head back to the Lodge. In the evening you may want to book a traditional Red Dao herbal bath at the lodge’s newly opened spa.

You will start from our lodge by cycling on a quiet road for a while before taking a descent to Ban Ho village. At the bottom of the valley you will meet the Tay minority, one of the largest ethnic minority groups living in Sapa, who are famous for their beautiful and traditional stilt houses. You will be warmly welcomed to visit their home, experience their daily life of farming and fishing in the river.
