Mai Chau
Beauty as the start of an adventure to the Northwest
The gateway to Northwestern Vietnam
As a prominent tourist attraction in Hoa Binh province, Mai Chau is considered the gateway to Northwestern Vietnam, with majestic mountains and diverse ethnic groups including Thai, H’Mong, and Muong. This serene valley offers cycling routes with stunning views on both sides of the road. In the summer, you can immerse yourself in the cool waters of a pristine waterfall behind the fields, and a nearby natural hot spring also awaits you there to rejuvenate your body and mind.
Mai Chau is an ideal destination for a short getaway from the hustle and bustle of Hanoi, providing an opportunity to reconnect with nature, breathe fresh air, and experience the tranquil atmosphere of rural Vietnam. Moreover, this spot is flexible for you to explore it in a single day or extend your trip for a more in-depth experience over 2-3 days. From Mai Chau, you can easily travel to other nearby attractions such as Hang Kia – a border village adjacent to Laos, the Pu Luong Nature Reserve, or the picturesque landscapes of Moc Chau.
Welcoming you in Mai Chau is Tan, a Thai woman who is owner of a homestay that we have supported since its inception. Starting your excursion from this stilt house, which has been home to three generations of White Thai people, to the traditional costumes and handicraft workshops will fulfill you with authentic culture within the local community. We believe that this will be a seamless yet enriching experience for you!
