Amazing trip - Few days ago we were on the halfday trek and we really enjoyed it. We got interesting information about Mu Cang Chai and also about Vietnam. We saw amazing viewpoint with rice fields and also beautiful waterfall. We also had delicious lunch and dinner with H'mong family. I highly recommend these trekking trips to everyone!

Authentic - An incredible hike with Yien in the rice fields, an outing with his brother to fish directly in the rice fields and ensure their good condition with the harvest. Unique, pleasant and authentic experiences

Favourite experience in Vietnam - One of our best experiences in Vietnam. We felt very welcome by our guide and his family. We had a great tour, our guide made sure that we felt comfortable and was very helpful and informative. We really enjoyed our lunch and opted to stay for dinner as well. This experience gave us a great insight into Hmong culture. While we were there we felt welcome and included.

100% recommend! - Yien from indigenous travel took us for a walk to the most beatifull rice-terrace of Mâm Xôi and through the lovely Hmong mountainvillage where Yien was born and raised: La Pan Tan. Despite the quite havy rain it was a experience we will never forget. It was amazing how beautiful the landscapes were, even with this bad weather. We just cant imagine how beautiful it must be when the sun shines. The views were stunning and Yien was a very nice guy, spoke English perfectly and it was very lovely to talk with him about the Hmong culture and rituals. He was happy to answer every question that we asked. After our walk we had a great lunch with Yien and his family. An experience we will never forget. We 100% recommend.
