Vous souhaitez organiser un voyage privatif et sur mesure ?
Parfum d’Automne invites you to explore one of Northern Vietnam’s lesser-known gems: Hoang Su Phi, a mountainous district in Ha Giang Province.
Here, you’ll encounter some of the most spectacular terraced rice fields in the country and a remarkable diversity of ethnic minority groups — 12 in total.
This 6-day trek will allow you to immerse yourself in the culture of four of them: the Flower Hmong, the Red Dao, the Long-Tunic Dao, and the Nung.
Be ready for unforgettable encounters with these warm and welcoming communities. Guided by our expert French-speaking guide, you’ll gain deep insights into their traditions, daily lives, and the ancestral farming techniques that have shaped the breathtaking landscapes of Northern Vietnam.
Please note: this program requires good physical condition, with daily hikes of over 10 km on steep and uneven terrain.
Departure by private car with our guide and driver towards the high mountains of Ha Giang, a region located in the far north of the country, close to the Chinese border. Along the way, you will stop in traditional villages, green tea plantations, and terraced rice fields… offering you the chance to discover the rural and mountainous life of northern Vietnam. Lunch will be served in a local restaurant en route.
In the afternoon, arrival in Ha Giang and check-in at a traditional Red Dao house, built in the middle of the mountains and terraced rice fields of the Hoang Su Phi valley. End of the day exploring the village with your guide. Dinner and overnight with a Red Dao family.
From valleys to mountain passes, we explore a region long kept secret by its remote location, where the mountain ethnic groups live from cultivating Shan tea, harvesting cardamom, and gathering many medicinal plants sold to the Chinese market.
The inhabitants have divided the land like a mosaic, depending on altitude: the Hmong at the very top, the Dao on the mountain slopes between 500 and 1,000 meters, and the Tay in the fertile valley floors. Although they are strangers to one another, with different customs and languages, they remain close neighbors.
During this day, you will meet both Hmong and Red Dao communities. Dinner and overnight stay with a Hmong family.
Nous commençons notre journée par la découverte de splendides vues sur les rizières en terrasse sculptées sur les flancs de montagne. Puis nous descendons au village de Nam Son et continuons notre marche jusqu’à un petit village habité par les Dao noir. Nous partageons notre déjeuner avec une famille du village. Dans l’après-midi, quelques montées et descentes à travers forêts, rizières en terrasse, plantations de thé centenaires et villages (Dao rouge et noir) nous mène au hameau de Nam Ai. Nous dormons dans une maison au milieu des rizières chez les Dzao Noir. Dîner avec la famille et l’équipe locale. Dinner et nuit chez Dzao a tunique Longue (ou Dao Noir)
A magnificent day of trekking along the terraced rice fields awaits you.
Daily life unfolds all around—in the fields, in the forest, and along the winding paths. As we walk, we meet local villagers and gain insights into their everyday routines.
