You will have lunch in a local restaurant, delighting your taste buds with some of the signature dishes of Vietnam. Once arrive at your homestay in Ba Be National Park, you will borrow bikes and cycle to the Tày ethnic village area where we explore an amazing cave in the mountain. The journey continues to Hua Ma cave and Silk Waterfall which is about another five km by bike . The Tay ethnic group is the second largest group of the many ethnic groups in the country. They are mostly found in the valleys and lower mountains of Northern Vietnam, especially in the Cao Bang, Lang Son, Bac Kan, Thai Nguyen, and Quang Ninh Provinces. You will enjoy a delightful dinner and stay overnight with the Tay family.

You will head out to Coc Toc Village, ready to spend the day trekking in the great outdoors of Northern Vietnam’s hilly countryside. Coc Toc Village is home to a Tay community, an ethnic group skilled in fishing and with a predominantly fish-centred diet. The community is strikingly beautiful with its traditional stilt houses and amiable people. You will cross the Pe Lu stream and then embark on a slighy exertive uphill journey across the hilly terrain, giving you an impressive view of the countryside as you climb higher. You will encounter the H’mong people, an ethnic minority group found in the Northern mountainous provinces of Vietnam. You will have lunch here and interact with the local H’mong people. Afterwards, you will visit the stilt houses of the Dzao ethnic group, traveling through dramatic mountains and valleys. You will have dinner and stay overnight at a homestay with a local Dzao family. However, try not to overindulge in their specially made corn wine!

After a night of rest, you will have breakfast at the homestay. You may interact further with the Dzao family and explore their colorful ethnic items of clothing before bidding them farewell and heading out for another day in the exciting outdoors. However, you will explore less exhausting terrains today that won’t leave you out of breath. You will visit a black H’mong ethnic village and then travel down towards the Dau Dang waterfall which is about 3km from Ba Be lake. This sequence of rapids stretches over a length of about 1km on the border of the Bac Kan and Tuyen Quang Provinces. It is formed by the Nang river and lies in the rocky center of two limestone formations. Afterwards, you will enjoy a boat cruise to the captivating cave destination of Puong cave. This bat-filled cave bears the indistinguishable signs of many years of river erosion and is traversed by the Nang River. After exploring the cavernous Puong cave which houses several species of bats, you will enjoy a relaxing drive back to the Capital city of Hanoi. You will stop for lunch on the way at a local restaurant. At Hanoi, you will be conveyed back to your hotel, ending the action-packed 3-day tour of Ba Be National Park.
