We begin the new day by conquering the legendary Lũng Lò Pass - a road closely associated with many significant milestones in Vietnam's history. With a length of about 15 km, this pass once served as a strategic logistical route for the Vietnamese army during the Điện Biên Phủ campaign in 1954. Due to its important role, Lũng Lò became a target continuously bombed by the French army in an attempt to cut off supply lines. The remaining relics have turned Lũng Lò into a symbol of resilience and indomitable spirit.
Today, Lũng Lò Pass has been recognized as a national historical site in Yên Bái province. For drivers, this route not only presents challenges in terrain but also holds deep emotional significance. The majestic mountain scenery, winding curves, and historical marks blend together to create one of the most memorable experiences of the trip.
In the late afternoon, the whole group returns to the hotel to rest and recharge for the exciting experiences that await ahead.

We will pass through Tu Le, known for its terraced rice fields and the delicious Tu Le sticky rice, and continue to experience one of the most beautiful terraced rice fields in the country - Mu Cang Chai. This journey will also include an immersion in the local culture of the H'mong people and a stop at a homestay hosted by the Thai community.

Continuing our journey, we conquer O Quy Ho Pass – one of the most beautiful and majestic passes in Vietnam. This is an ideal spot to experience the spectacular pass and chase clouds from an impressive altitude. The clouds drifting lazily around the mountain peaks create a magical scene, making each stop a memorable photo opportunity.
Leaving the pass, our journey takes us to Sa Pa—a destination that any traveler eagerly anticipates exploring. Here, you will visit the Sa Pa Stone Church—an ancient structure bearing the strong imprint of French architecture, located right in the heart of the town.
Afterwards, you are free to explore the local market, a vibrant hub of culture from the highland ethnic groups, with their dazzling traditional costumes and lively atmosphere.

After breakfast, we left Sa Pa, descended the pass to Lao Cai, and stopped to enjoy coffee by the Nam Thi River – the natural border between Vietnam and China. From Lao Cai, the group traveled along National Highway 70, then turned onto the quieter Provincial Road 152, where the scenery gradually changed to lush green palm trees and peaceful countryside on the way to Vu Linh – a Dao village located beside Thac Ba Lake.
After lunch, the group boarded a boat to explore the emerald green lake, weaving through small islands scattered amidst the calm waters. The boat stopped at a small island where you could relax, enjoy nature, and even swim in the fresh, unspoiled environment.
Throughout the journey, you will encounter moments of daily life on the lake – locals rowing wooden boats, birds nestled in the trees, and the slow pace of life characteristic of this region.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions? We've got answers! Find common queries about our adventure programs.

Test Despite of the fact that Vietnamese government attempts to outlaw the practice, the US Dollars still acts as an alternative currency which is almost completely interchangeable with Vietnam Dong. Many prices, especially for hotels, tours and expensive restaurants, are still quoted in USD, though you can pay in dong if you’d rather - just check what exchange rate they’re using.

For everyday expenses, we recommend you carry a mix of US Dollars cash and Vietnam Dong. For larger items or when the exchange rate works in your favour, use dollars. For cyclos, local food stalls and small purchases, it’s best to use Vietnam Dong. In either case, make sure you always have a stock of small notes so that there is no need to worry about change.

The short answer is, there's never a bad time to visit Vietnam! Not all seasons are created equal though and there are pros and cons to each.
March - April is typically the best season in terms of weather to visit Vietnam. Expect sun, mild temperatures and limited rain! This also means busy season, so make sure to book in advance if you plan to visit during these months.
May - August is the hotter times of the year in Vietnam and also the rainier season. Don't be too scared of the rain though! It typically only lasts an hour or two per day, if that. This rarely disrupts travel or our tours and you get to enjoy warmer weather.
September - November are a secret gem of a time to visit Vietnam. The temperature becomes more moderate than the summer, rain stops, and the conditions are perfect for trekking or motorcycle trips. This is also when Full Moon Celebrations happen in Vietnam, so it's a particularly festive season to experience Vietnamese culture.
December - February are the coldest months in Vietnam. During these months you may prefer to visit the southern parts of Vietnam which are warmer, and we have many tours that operate there!
