If you finally accept the challenge and you visit the Muong people I hope you leave me a message to share our experiences :-)
NGOC SON – NGO LUONG nature reserve
2 days / 1 night trip
DAY ITINERARY OVERNIGHT
1 (L,D) Hanoi – Chien – Mu - Sat Homestay
Departure at 8.00 from your hotel toward Southwest. The reserve is actually quite close to Hanoi, we should get there around 11.00. The car stops us at the headquarters of the reserve where we will meet some rangers and have a brief explanation about the global nature conservation and livelihood improvement project. Then we take a short walk to a local restaurant in Chien village where we have lunch.
The fairy starts after lunch, from Chien we head down in the valley to reach Mu village. We take our time to stroll around the village and have a break near by the Mu waterfalls. Then we keep walking across the terraced rice fields to Sat village and settle down in a homestay there. Warm welcome and time for relaxing in the stream near by the house.
2 (B,L) Sat – Mu – Khay – Mon - Chien Homestay
The reserve has this particularity to alternate wild areas with very vivid villages. A chance for travelers here to feel different atmospheres along a walk. A promise also for numerous encounters and strong feeling of being in the middle of nowhere. Today we start early to walk back to Mu village by another trail and head to Khay and Mon villages, one of the most beautiful parts of the reserve. We will have lunch with a family in Mon village before some moto-taxis bring us back to Chien village. Time for refreshments in a local restaurant and drive back to Hanoi.
