Indigenous Homestay- Trek- Food- Bus

So, where exactly do I start. I stayed in this homestay for about 2 nights, all on my own, and this family greeted me so warm! It’s so interesting to witness and experience a part of their culture, of their daily life, of hmong people in general! The meals were also delicious, Chu’s wife always prepared an extra vegetarian option for me, which is something I’m really grateful for. The whole day trekking with Chu was amazing, even though he doesn’t speak a lot of english, he kept trying to explain things to me, which was so very kind! We had beautiful views on our way, and I’ve seen many views, from Ta Van, to Sapa, and honestly, Mu Cang Chai has the most beautiful views! The rice fields were sadly empty, due to the harvest in September, but it was still beautiful and peaceful! The other day, Yien and his wife An joined me to do the waterbuffalo tour. It’s fair to say that I was scared in the beginning, but they were so friendly and super nice to talk to! Both of them speak very good english, and took many pictures aswell! Afterwards we cut some grass for the buffalo to eat, and when I cut myself, Yien helped me stop the bleeding with their natural medicine (a purple flower, I forgot the name). At lunch, An told me a lot about hmong culture, an the general vietnamese culture aswell! I truely appreciate that you all shared a part of your life with me! I also really hope that Yien and An get to travel a lot more in future, and hopefully visit China and other more developped countries aswell!

I loved every minute of our experience with the family. They took care of us and made us feel part of their family and community. We did a few activities with them (motorbike tour and we made Pato with the grandma of the family) and helped them on daily jobs. I would definitely recommend.

I spent 3 days in this beautiful homestay learning how is the life for Hmong people and I fell in love with this place (beautiful rice fields and landscapes) and mostly with this family. It was one of the best experiences of my live. They shared with me everything about how they live, I cooked and ate with them… it was magic! If you want to experience something authentic and rural this is your place. Also, they helped me with everything I need, shower was hot and let me a hairdryer too!

After reading all the positive reviews, i knew i had to go there. i shared the meals with the family, i tried the traditional outfit, i watched the family doing the daily chores, learnt a few things by doing (e.g.grinding pepper). I travel to get knowledge about rural life and ancient recipes so it was exactly what i was looking for! thank you!

Je recommande chaleureusement cette Homestay. L'accueil, la flexibilité, le professionnalisme, sont au top du top, et que dire de la vue, juste magnifique ! Ils sont à l'écoute, et s'arrange au mieux vis à vis des demandes particulières. Exemple :j'ai exprimé le fait que j'aime faire de la randonnée, et je partais le l'en demain matin à 5 heure accompagné par un membre de la famille pour monter à 2913 mètres. Ce fut une très bonne expérience qui m'a permis de rencontrer des personnes formidable, d'apprendre leur culture et coutumes. Un grand merci à eux, et j'espère bien avoir la chance d'y retourner un jour !

Notre petit séjour chez la famille de Dinh s'est passé à merveille. Les membres de sa famille sont d'une gentillesse incroyable et toujours souriant. Un bon moment d'échange auprès de cette famille Hmong. Délicieux repas traditionnels. Si vous êtes de voyage au Vietnam il faut absolument s'arrêter à cet endroit qui nous apprend beaucoup. Dépaysement total assuré :). Merci encore pour tout
