About this trip
An 8-day private tour through northern Vietnam, moving from the layered streets of Hanoi out to the limestone hills, caves and rivers of Pu Luong Nature Reserve.
You start in Hanoi with time to take in the city's different sides before heading to its rural outskirts to learn about traditional green tea growing and countryside life. From there the trip moves on to Pu Luong itself, a quieter alternative to Sapa where valleys, rice terraces and ethnic minority villages set the pace.
This is a slower, more grounded look at Vietnam than the well-worn tourist trail, with real space to take in mountain scenery, caves and the rhythm of local life.
What you'll do
- Explore the contrasting neighbourhoods of Hanoi
- Visit the city's outskirts to learn about traditional green tea production
- Travel to Pu Luong Nature Reserve through mountain ranges and river valleys
