Day 01: Hanoi - Ba Be Lakes (270km) |

Pick-up at your hotel is at 7:00 am and head for Bac Kan, the province of Ba Be Lakes. During the 6.30 hours drive, we will make a stop at the Vietnam Museum of Ethnology in Thai Nguyen city. Take a coffee break here if you wish.
We continue our drive, stopping for lunch at a local food stall in Bac Kan town. Our destination is a small village of the Tay minority people situated inside Ba Be National Park. Arrive at our homestay and refresh with a short afternoon walk around the park and even a swim in the nearby lake.
Back home for dinner and talk with our very warm and friendly hosts. Learn about this interesting culture and way of life. Then retire to our beds for a delightful sleep in a traditional stilt home. (L,D) |

Wake up with the chirping of birds and sounds of village life. Well rested, take in the moment of natural tranquility away from the stresses of the city. Breakfast then we start to discover the imposing beauty of the area on a local hand crafted canoe. Glide along the river, through a pretty cave and onto a powerful waterfall. The whole journey offers great natural scenery and photo opportunities. After lunch at a local food stall near the waterfall, we canoe till our hearts’ content into Ba Be lakes and all its majesticness. Enjoy great swimming and water fun.

If we’re lucky, and it is Sunday, we will make a stop on the way to visit Kermis, a typical local maket, in the highlands area. Have lunch on the way.

Cambodia
boasts a rich culture with its many ancient temples and impressive
natural scenery, such as the empty beaches, mighty rivers and the
remote forests. Travel to Cambodia will always be high on anybody's
travel list as it offers the fabulous temples of Angkor Wat, long
considered one of the greatest human achievements of ancient architecture
and sculpture.
Laos
is laid-back, exotic, beautifull and welcoming, almost half of this
mountainous country is still covered in forest. Travellers find
that this peaceful Buddhist land reminds them of an Asia from times
long past.
