Northern Vietnam 4D3N Tour: HCM - Dien Bien - Moc Chau - Hoa Binh priced at only 6,588,000 VND/person
For those passionate about exploration, the renowned Northwest region, adorned with thousands of forests and mountains, is a must-visit. The charm of winding mountain passes, lush green terraced fields cascading on hillsides, and vibrant forest flowers will surely not disappoint as you embark on the Northern Vietnam tour from Dien Bien to Moc Chau and Hoa Binh.
The first stop in Yen Bai offers an experience with the ancestral tea trees.
At an altitude of 1400m above sea level, the renowned tea region of Suoi Giang in Yen Bai province deserves a visit at least once in a lifetime. Surpassing majestic mountain passes and awe-inspiring cliffs, the Shan snow tea forest unfolds like a picturesque landscape with around 4000 ancient tea trees, each hundreds of years old.
According to the ancient tales passed down through generations of the H'mong ethnic people living in this region, Shan snow tea is considered a heavenly treasure. Its uniqueness lies not only in the bitter, sweet, earthy, and clear flavors but also in its health benefits. That's why the beverage containing the essence of Suoi Giang's land and sky is always on the must-try list when visiting Yen Bai.
Conquering Khau Pha - one of the 'four great mountain passes,' marvel at the scenery of Mu Cang Chai
Continuing the journey to explore the highlands of the Northern Vietnam tour is the magnificent mountain pass named Khau Pha. Throughout the trip, you will be amazed as you suddenly feel small in front of the vast mountains and forests.

After crossing the summit of Khau Pha mountain and the beautiful land of Tu Le, entering many poetic landscapes, travelers will step into Mu Cang Chai - a place with over 2,200 hectares of terraced fields.
