mu cang chai
Our peaceful hamlet with sincere locals & the most beautiful rice terraces
A haven for nature lovers & culture enthusiasts
Situated in the Northwest, Mu Cang Chai is often well-known as a remote area that is challenging to reach for many Vietnamese. However, this land boasts the most splendid rice terraces in the world recognized by international magazines. If you’re passionate about photography, it will be a promising experience with the “photographing route” in Mu Cang Chai, adorned with majestic mountains, cascading rice terraces and panoramic views of the valleys. Additionally, from there, it is easy for you to broaden your adventures to other fascinating destinations such as Son La, Lai Chau & Sa Pa.
Not only that, vibrant cultures and peaceful life here will capture every heart! Right at the foot of Khau Pha Pass lies It Thai Village, where we have supported a community-based tourism project since 2018. Nowadays, this beautiful village has become our homeland and an unforgettable highlight in the journey of many travelers with its pristine nature, hospitable locals, slow rhythm of life, and the authentic culture of the Thai and H’Mong communities. It is an ideal spot for every object: nature lovers, culture enthusiasts, or people seeking a serene land for soothing themselves. Let’s explore more about this land below!
