Perfect 4 days trekking around Mu Cang Chai
We really enjoyed the 4 day trekking tour in Mu Cang Chai with Nghia so much. We usually never book a tour guide but we would definitely recommend to do a guided tour in Mu Cang Chai. Nghia is speaking english very well and has an open mind and open heart. She and the driver Phuong took us to beautiful places where you wouldn’t get without a guide. Most of the time we didnt see any other tourists and met local people and animals instead. Luckyly we were even able to watch the harvesting process. Nghia told us so much about the culture of H’mong and Black Thai and also about her own way of living. Phuong was a very responsible and safe driver. Unfortunaltely he didnt speak english but that was no problem because it was possible to use google translate.
In advance we thought the trip is quite expensive even for european people. But we realized quickly that the price is fair. The driver picked us up in our hotel in Hanoi and he was also booked for us for the following days. He was driving us every day from the homestay we stayed to the beginning of the trekking and also picked us up there again to bring us to lunch etc. That was very convinient because we could leave everything we didnt need while hiking in the car. They took us to different homestays which offered delicious food and very friendly hosts and were surrounded by beautiful nature. The hosts didnt speak english so Nghia translated and organized everything for us. The homestays offered a private bathroom and private bedroom including towels, bedding, toilet paper and hot shower.
There was also always enough free drinking water and the additional beverages that we ordered were cheap.
Nghia even helped us to organize our transportation from Mu Cang Chai to Ha Giang. She was very honest about the prices and found the best option for us.
Thank you so much for the unforgettable experience!
Amazing trekking in Mu Cang Chai
We went on a 3days trekking tour in Mu Cang Chai, and it was amazing ! The view were unbelievable, our guide was a local guy who stayed with us explaining their culture and telling us stories. It was such a privilege ! Rice terraces were so beautiful we felt like in a movie

We had seen so many photos of Rice Terraces claiming to be Sapa, but after some research we discovered these places were actually in Mu Cang Chai.
I contacted Nghĩa via WhatsApp from the Zonitrip website. Nghĩa is so incredibly knowledgeable and honest, and answered many of our questions about our itinerary. She provided us with information on our accomodation, our transport, our daily activities, our hikes and the price. She allowed us to customise the trip how we wanted, and even helped us find another couple so we could join together as a group tour. Our driver was so friendly and was very specialised and skilled.
We took a 3 day 2 night trip to Mu Cang Chai, staying in Homestay with the most welcoming and friendly guests. We learnt about local Hmong and Dai people, their food, culture and way of life. This trip wasn’t superficial, and it provided a raw, immersive and real cultural experience that I will never forget.
We hiked through rice terraces high up in the mountains and walked through streams in the valleys. Every single moment looked like a postcard. Nghĩa is the most knowledgeable and friendly guides and I cannot recommend her enough. She helped point out local plants, gave information on different cultural aspects such as local houses and customs, and helped us to interact with locals, translating for us and finding opportunities for us to meet eachother.
If you are worried that it may be like other tours where you are just encouraged to buy souvenirs and take photos do not worry. This experience was authentic and real and beautiful. We learnt how to love nature and culture and I will be grateful for the experiences I made on this trip. Riding through rice terraces on the back of a motorbike through the mountains, while waving to local Hmong children looking back at me is a memory I will never forget.
Please please please book this tour!
Amazing Trekking Experience
We did a 3D2N trekking tour with Zonitrip to Mu Cang Cai. The views were breathtaking. Nghia was knowledgeable in the area and readily shared the culture of Hmong, Tzao and Thai with us.
Overall, the trip was incredible (with breathtaking homestays) and impeccable service. We will definitely book another trip with Zonitrip if we are in this region.
