Treks in areas of breathtaking beauty in northern Vietnam are an old specialty of Our Tours. We have expanded this program to include treks in the Central Highlands. These trips through hilltribe villages (sometimes with no electricity or running water) include homestays with the hilltribes. On some of the treks, the terrain can be rough and one has to be reasonably fit for the longer treks.

EVT 06 :Sapa Hilltribe Trek : (7 Days / 4-Day Trek)
Approx. 330 US$ /per (2 to 3 pax)
At a elevation of 1600 meters, Sapa is a delightful old French hill station situated in the mountainous region of Vietnams' northwest, close to the Chinese border. The region is home to many ethnic minorities groups all wearing their traditional and colourful attire. This trip includes a 4-day trek through the hills and valleys in the Sapa region. Average walking time for each day is around 6 hours, passing through H'mong, Day, Tho, Tay, Nhang, and Red Dao communities. Three nights are spent in these minority villages so be warned, you will have to do without some modern comforts on this one. Often there is no electricity or running water and bedding can be a layer of straw covered with a mat in some cases. The apparent hardships are worth it though as we walk through some of the most spectacular scenery that Vietnam has to offer.

EVT 01: Mai Chau Trekking : (6 Days / 4-Day Trek)
Approx. 290 US$/per (2 to 3 pax)
This trip to the north west highland of Mai Chau offers a balance of cultural and physical activities set amongst some northern Vietnam's stunning natural landscape. We spend 5 nights in the ethnic hill tribes minority villages walking a average of 5 hours a day. We trek for four days through villages in the Mai Chau area and overnight in White Thai and H'mong villages where we have opportunities to observe the local lifestyle of these minority people. From the mountainous region of Mai Chau, we travel back to the nations capital, Hanoi. Travelers who prefer to get off the beaten track often prefer Mai Chau to Sapa.

EVT 05 : Sapa Explorer : (5 Days / 2-Day Trek)  
Approx. 230 US$ per person (2 to 3 pax)
Many travelers consider Sapa to be the highlight of their stay in Vietnam. The variety of ethnic minority groups in Vietnam is fascinating and nowhere is this ethnic mix more accessible than it is in Sapa, and its outstandingly beautiful valleys. This trip is a condensed and easier version of the 7 day Ethnic Explorer, designed for those people who are put off by the lack of comfort in that trip. The trek takes 2 days and there is only one long walk. We spend one night in one of the more comfortable villages and travel to and from Hanoi by car allowing you to take in as much as possible of the breath-taking scenery in a short time.

EVT 02 : 6 Days Pleiku Jungle Trek 
Approx. 450US $ per person (2 to 3 pax)
Pleiku's stunning unspoiled rain forests and remoteness makes this one of the more challenging areas to trek. This trip includes a 3-day trek through scenic valleys and waterfalls before arriving at the forestry reserves where we set up camp for two of the three nights. The trip starts with the flight from either Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City, depending on your preferred starting point.
