In the far north of Vietnam near the Chinese border is a high mountain valley laced with stunning rice terraces, forest, waterfalls and hill tribe communities. Under the dominating Hoang Lien Mountain Range, the highest in South East Asia, you trek along paths to isolated villages and spend time with the friendly people that live there. You’ll eat fresh fare cooked over wooden fire pits, and experience hill tribe life that remains virtually uninfluenced by the outside world.

Alternatively, tackle the challenges of an ascent on Mount Fansipan, Indochina’s highest mountain. it’s an adventure climb through wilderness, past isolated hill tribe villages and spectacular rice terracing. A steep two and a half day climb takes you to the roof of Indochina, affording views over spectacular mountains in both China and Laos. Sleep in the forest high up on the side of the mountain and eat excellent food cooked over an open fire.

These tours take you to:
Lao Cai, Sapa, Ta Phin, Lao Chai, Ta Van, Ban Ho, Nam Cang, Nam Thang, and, if you choose, to the summit of the highest mountain in South East Asia.
