Hanoi – Thai Nguyen – Ba Be (L,D)

Meet at 08:00 with the team and we set off for Ba Be (The three lakes).

The Ba Be National Park is an oasis of calm and greenery.

After the 240 km journey from Hanoi along the road lined with tea plantations dotted with stilt houses, we arrive in the Tay (or Tho) region.

This region captivates us with its picturesque reservoir, waterfalls, rivers, valleys, and caves spread over an area of 500 ha.

We take a boat cruise on the lake to the Dau Dang waterfalls. On the way back, our boat accesses a large cave (Puong Cave), home to thousands of bats that greet us with their special cry.

Lunch is prepared by the lake in a small Tay hut.

Ba Be is also the land of the H'mong and the Red Yao. In the afternoon, we will visit them in their homes. These ethnic groups have maintained an autarkic way of life and preserve ancestral rhythms of life.

The beautiful road leads us to Gio Pass (the Wind). A stop at the summit offers breathtaking views.
Along our way, we meet the Thos (Tays) and the Yao Tien (Silver Yao)... The women walk to the market, they are smiling and ask us: "Where do you come from?" "Is our country beautiful?".

Arrival in Cao Bang around noon.
After lunch, we continue our excursion to Pac Bo, a border region with China with a very complex relief of karst peaks and vegetation. This area was Ho Chi Minh's first refuge in 1941, after 30 years abroad, and also the first Viet Minh military base during the Indochina War.

Cao Bang / visit to Ban Gioc waterfall and overnight stay (B,L)

Breakfast
Meet at 08:00 and we take an excursion to the most beautiful waterfall in Vietnam, Ban Gioc.
To do this, we will have to cross the Ma Phuc Pass (the kneeling horse), a magnificent pass that imprints the beauty of the Northeast in our memory. In the middle of the water, there is a limestone prominence covered with trees, which divides the current into three, thus creating a superb view and pleasantly refreshing the atmosphere.
Visit to Ban Gioc waterfall
Visit and stroll around the area with the holed mountain
Visit to ethnic villages along the road, Phuc Sen for drilling and Phia Thap for incense sticks

At the foot of Ban Gioc waterfall flows a wide stream, transparent as a mirror.

The road is very beautiful with enchanting landscapes.
We pass through the Dong Khe basin, surrounded by karst peaks. Dong Khe and then That Khe, have been recorded in books dealing with the Indochina War as the bloodiest battlefields. The scattered blockhouses along the road are witnesses to the battles of the two troops.
