Sticky rice and rice wine at dinner, bamboo dancing, waking to the rooster in a stilt house.

Hidden Indochina
Immersion in local life
Share sticky rice with a Thai family, learn a Dao song by the fire, follow a fisherman at dawn: genuine encounters, prepared with communities and fairly paid.

Sticky rice and rice wine at dinner, bamboo dancing, waking to the rooster in a stilt house.

Eight kilometres across the terraces with a Hmong guide, lunch in a family home.

Buffalo, embroidered brocades and horse soup: the mountains' great weekly market.

Spin hemp, dye with indigo and draw with beeswax alongside the women of Ta Phin.

Orchards, a dusk sampan ride and elephant-ear fish for dinner with a Mekong family.
5 journeys

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.

The country south to north in fifteen days: Cu Chi, a night with a family in the delta, three days in Hoi An with My Son, Hue, Ninh Binh and Ha Long.

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.
