Tour to Mai Chau: Located in Hoa Binh Province, about 3 hours drive south-west of Hanoi, Mai Chau offers a splendid vista of a valley surrounded by lush landscape and stilt houses inhabited mainly by the White Thai ethnic group. Leave Hanoi at 8am – there are many great photo opportunities along the way. On arrival, check in at Mai Chau Lodge and enjoy lunch. In the afternoon, embark on a fun buffalo cart ride to the nearby Thai villages of Pom Coong and Lac and see beautiful handicrafts weaved by the local artisans. Afterwards, take an excursion to the limestone karst cave attached to the Lodge. A team of local hill tribe people looks after the cave, formerly a military base. Return to your hotel to relax. Dinner is accompanied by a traditional dance performance by the local Thai tribe.
