Vietnam trekking tours (or hiking, to stay French) are the best option for lovers of walking and dating. During an exclusive or trekking tour, the adventurer will discover unspoiled regions, be in the heart of the famous rice terraces, meet multiple ethnic minorities and stroll through the colorful markets. It is the unique apotheosis to see famous places or less frequented ones. Whether in the northern mountains or off the beaten track, you'll have a huge choice to immerse yourself in the lives of native people: sleep in Vietnam, in a house on stilts; drink a cup of tea and share smiles; participate in agricultural activities or visit markets; taste local specialties or swim near a waterfall.

Vietnam is rich in paradise, whether at the top of the country's roof, along the paths that connect the villages or in exceptional national parks, your trip to Vietnam is an unprecedented opportunity to discover the country's trekking spots.

Fansipan (3,143 m)

The most beautiful hike you have to do in Vietnam is undoubtedly the ascent of Mount Fan Si Pan, the roof of the country. It is from Sapa that you will begin your journey. If you are brave, you can start from this landmark to get to the top of Mount Fan Si Pan. For others, after a van transfer at the foot of the mountain, you will finish the last meters on foot. It is a walk that requires a lot of will for the less experienced or is worth the most for the seasoned, including a unique panoramic view of the country.

Sapa (Lao Cai)

Sapa is indeed a landmark when you want to visit the cascading rice fields of the mountains of northern Vietnam. From this former French health resort, you can go for walks of 5 hours and more without leaving Sapa completely and the connection to Lao Cai, where the bus stations and train are to reach Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam. Sapa is therefore very busy but offers a multitude of trips to discover the terraced rice fields and villages of ethnic minorities: we can mention for example, the villages of Ta Phin, Xin Man, Sin Ho, etc. You will have a lot of villages with exotic names and as many journeys to make but behind these very friendly names, they all have the same point of departure or arrival: Sapa. Do not hesitate to contact Vietnam Original Travel for the best proposals.

Bac Ha

Bac Ha is one of the most colorful regions in the North of Vietnam, with a lot of ethnic groups, different typical markets and beautiful landscapes, offering travelers who love doing trekking from 3 to 7 days around Bac Ha and its surroundings. You will do trekking throughout the authentic ethnic villages, stunning landscapes, beautiful valleys and mountains...  

Hoang Su Phi In Ha Giang

Ha Giang has fewer ethnic groups than Sapa (only 20 groups, while Sapa has at least 30) and the points of interest are relatively far apart. It is a region (located in the mountains of the north of the country, which is accessed from Sapa) made for more seasoned hikers who are eager to get off the marked trails and tourists. You will not fail to pass through Tuyen Quang and Hoang Su Phi for the best panoramic views of the valleys and mountains. She is considered the future and second Sapa, so you must visit her before she becomes like her sister from the west.
 

Cao Bang

It is northeast of Hanoi, 300 km from the capital of Vietnam, you will find the trekking mecca: Cao Bang. It is the most popular in this very reserved world of lovers of pure walking and the discovery of authenticity. Thanks to the show "Rendez-vous en terre inconnue," you could visit villagers, the black Lolo, inhabitants in houses located in the middle of millions of peaks of limestone and forests, far from any civilization. It is an unforgettable experience not to be missed.
 

Mu Cang Chai

At Mu Cang Chai, in the province of Yen Bai, south of Sapa, was taken the famous photo that shows the extraordinary vastness of rice terraces lining the valleys and surrounding hills. This is the Hmong country, which is quite difficult to access. Your travel agency, Vietnam Original Travel, will give you the best solutions to get there.
 

Mai Chau (Hoa Binh)

The Mai Chau Valley is an accessible place not far from the capital of Vietnam, which will give you the opportunity for a stroll in the middle of rice fields and plantations lining the hills and the plains of lands of Thai and Muong.
 

Cuc Phuong National Park, Ninh Binh - Hoa Binh - Thanh Hoa

The oldest and most popular park is the Cuc Phuong National Park, nestled between the provinces of Ninh Binh, Hoa Binh and Thanh Hoa, south of Hanoi. It is here that you can find the picturesque landscapes of Halong Bay, where the American movie "King Kong—The Skull Island" was shot. It is a grandiose landscape of rice fields, tropical forests and caves, where the first human traces of the country have been found. It's a ride filled with emotions waiting for you in a photo-devouring place.
 

Pu Luong National Park, Thanh Hoa

Pu Luong National Park is a treasure trove of wilderness and fragile biodiversity amidst waterfalls and numerous streams, from which you can camp for a meal with, perhaps, Thai villagers cruising along the way.
 

Ba Be National Park, Bac Kan

You have to go to the highest lake in Vietnam to find an exceptional paradise filled with pure air and wild forests. From its height of 178m, Lake Ba Be is full of rivers, streams, caves, waterfalls and rice fields and has all the assets to be part of the UNESCO heritage. This is a favorite both for its unique landscape and its universal legend of the Widow Island.
 

Bach Ma National Park, Thua Thien-Hue

Not far from the old Imperial Citadel is the Bach Ma National Park, which used to be a holiday resort and retreat for the French during the colonial period. In addition to its forests and waterfalls, you will probably come across the most beautiful flowers of the region during your sabbatical hike.
 

Cat Tien National Park, Dong Nai - Lam Dong - Binh Phuoc

Cat Tien National Park is 150km north of Saigon (present-day Ho Chi Minh City) and has unusual species such as the Javan rhinoceros, the black gibbon or the clouded panther. It is a park invaded by virgin forests, of which the more adventurous will not hesitate to visit it on foot.
