The water wheels of Pu Luong
A walk through the valley of bamboo water wheels, spring swimming and a lodge picnic.

Eco-lodge · Northern highlands: Pu Luong, Mai Chau, Sapa
Sleep among the rice terraces, with the villages
Restored stilt houses, bamboo bungalows facing the rice fields, a natural spring-fed pool: our eco-lodges are designed and run with the Thai, Muong and Dao communities around them.
Each lodge employs villagers, buys its produce locally and returns part of every night to the nearby school or clinic. It's our way of making tourism a resource rather than a burden.

Six days in the North: the Lao Chai to Ta Van walk with a Hmong guide, two nights in a Sapa lodge and Trang An by sampan before the tour boats arrive.

Eight days: ca trù in a Hanoi communal house, a night on Lan Ha Bay, Trang An, then two eco-lodge nights and a walk down the Muong Hoa valley.

Saigon to Hanoi in fifteen days, privately and with more time with people: Apsara dance at My Son, two nights with a White Thai family in Mai Chau, ca trù in Hanoi.

From the Mai Chau valley to Hoi An's dykes and the delta's canals, the Vietnamese countryside at pedal pace.
Every hotel, dinner, transfer and small surprise felt considered without ever feeling over-planned.
