Thac Ba lake

Overview

A Charming Landscape to Discover!

Thac Ba Lake is located 150 km north of Hanoi, in Yen Bai Province. It fits perfectly into a nature or eco-tourism itinerary, or simply as a short getaway for a few days.

Calm and tranquility await you on this artificial lake, made up of more than 1,000 islets covered in dense, lush vegetation. These islets were submerged in the 1970s following the construction of a hydroelectric dam on the Chay River. Artificial does not mean unworthy of interest — on the contrary. The lake’s landscapes exude a unique atmosphere, giving the impression that you are among the very first to discover it.

The site is dedicated to eco-tourism, offering walks around the lake or water activities. Ethnic minorities such as the White-trouser Dao and the Muong live in the surrounding area.

Our tours heading north from Hanoi can stop here to introduce you to the secrets of the Dao’s medicinal plants!
