Babe lakes & the tribal homestay 3 days

Pick-up from your hotel at 7.00 am, we leave for Bac Kan. During the 6hour-drive, we will drop in at Thai Nguyen city for one hour visit to Vietnam’s museum of Ethnology (take a coffee break here if you like). For about 3 hours ahead before noon that we can arrive at the destination, we will stop at Bac Kan town for lunch (just a good local food stall). Then around 3.00 pm, we arrive at the village of Tay minority people inside the Ba Be National Park. Checking-in our homestay and refreshing by a short leisurely walk in the park around, maybe some swimming if the weather permits. Back home for dinner, then a talk on local culture or customs before bedtime.

Wake up by the bird chirping, this will be the scarce moment of tranquility where we feel very close to nature and isolated from bustling cities. Breakfast then start discovering the subtle and imposing beauty of the area just on the local boat. We glide along the lakes, river and through the pretty cave to a powerful waterfall, the whole journey offers great natural scenery. After lunch at a food stall nearby the waterfall, we boat back into the tranquil Ba Be lakes for its majesty. And it is really refreshing to go swimming here. Then trekking  through the ethnic minority villages back our home. Dinner then sleep the second night at the house on stilts.

Again, take the moment of fresh air in the morning. Do the breakfast leisurely before taking last walk into the park (A bike or motorbike ride alternatively is also a great fun). Do the check-out, say goodbye to the host and leave this small village for Hanoi by 10.00 am. If we are lucky to be on Sunday, take a chance to visit kermis - a typical local market in highland areas. Take lunch on the way, we arrive at Hanoi by around 5.30 pm.
