Excurions to Mai Chau

Discover Mai Chau and its surroundings

Nestled in a peaceful valley surrounded by lush mountains, Mai Chau is one of northern Vietnam’s most captivating destinations. Located about 140 km southwest of Hanoi, this rural haven offers a glimpse into the simple and authentic life of Vietnam’s ethnic minorities, particularly the Thai people. Traditional stilt houses, verdant rice paddies, and the melodious rhythm of village life create a soothing escape from the bustle of the city.

Visitors to Mai Chau can enjoy scenic bicycle rides through rice fields, discover local crafts, or share a traditional meal with friendly villagers. The region’s charm lies in its serene atmosphere, rich cultural heritage, and unspoiled nature.

Take an excursion from Hanoi to Mai Chau to experience the harmony of landscapes and traditions — a peaceful retreat where time seems to slow down and every encounter leaves a lasting impression.

When to Visit Vietnam?

The ideal time to visit Vietnam depends on the region you plan to explore, as the country spans a wide range of climates.

  • In the North, each of the four seasons reveals a different charm: mild spring and autumn, perfect for Hanoi and the northern mountains; hot, humid summers that bring the rice fields to life; and cool, misty winters that cloak the landscapes in a mysterious beauty.

  • In Central Vietnam, sunshine prevails most of the year, though from September to November, occasional typhoons and heavy rains give destinations like Hué and Hoi An a unique, dramatic allure.

  • In the South, the climate is divided into two main seasons: the rainy season (May to October) and the dry season (November to April), both offering warm, pleasant temperatures year-round.
