Tu Le and Tram Tau are located in the western part of Yen Bai province, Northwest Vietnam, about 200 km from Hanoi. If you’re traveling to North Vietnam outside the peak rice season (June to October) but still want to see stunning rice terraces, an excellent alternative to Mu Cang Chai is visiting Tu Le and Tram Tau.
Nestled at the foot of Khau Pha Pass, just 50 km from Mu Cang Chai, Tu Le is a beautiful valley inhabited by the Thai ethnic group. Unlike Mu Cang Chai, where rice is grown once a year, Tu Le has two rice seasons, allowing visitors to admire lush green or golden fields almost year-round. Here, you can immerse yourself in breathtaking landscapes, experience local culture, and enjoy the peaceful countryside.
Tram Tau is famous for its towering mountains, vast rice terraces, natural hot springs, and waterfalls. In this region, rice is grown in the spring, and in some valleys, there are two harvests per year, making it easy to witness beautiful rice fields. The main ethnic groups in Tram Tau are the Hmong and Thai people, offering visitors a unique opportunity to explore their rich traditions and way of life.
If you’re passionate about photography, nature, and cultural experiences, combined with a bit of adventure and the freedom of motorbiking, this tour is designed for you. You’ll have the chance to meet friendly ethnic minorities in the mountainous region, who still preserve their unique customs and traditions.
Our program is well-organized and flexible, suitable for all levels of motorbike riders. If you want to optimize your health, time, and budget while experiencing an unforgettable journey, this tour is an excellent choice.
