Tour itinerary
After breakfast, drive 1 hour northwest of Hanoi for a two night stay in a unique home stay reconstructed from authentic Thai Binh and Mai Chau province buildings set in the fertile Tonkinese valley next to the village of Ky Son.
En route, visit the iconic Thay pagoda, and two interesting non-tourisy handicraft villages, to learn how Bhuddhist statuary and vermicelli noodles are made (optional).
Upon arrival, explore the traditional structures and bucolic landscape that comprise this lovely property before rolling up your sleeves in the spacious, bright kitchen for a cooking class learning from the proprietress how to make sumptuous Vietnamese food served as lunch!
After lunch relax, take a leisurely bicycle ride or casual walk to discover Ky Son village and surrounding farming communities. Stop at any home for a cup of tea. Chat with local people about their daily life and farming. Help with plowing, making rice beds, transplanting seedlings or harvesting rice, cassava, corn, or sweet potatoes depending on the harvest season. Collect tea and medicinal herbs to use back at the home stay.
Return to the home stay for happy hour trying local tisane and a traditional steam bath with the fragrant herbs gathered before dinner.
Overnight in Ky Son
Wake up early to join in Yijinjing exercises and traditional Vietnamese worship customs honoring ancestors with morning rituals.
After breakfast, drive or cycle 6 km to Duong Lam Ancient village to explore an intact traditional ancient village and have lunch in an authentic local house. After lunch, continue on to Mia Pagoda, explore small hamlets and slowly wend back to Ky Son.
In the late afternoon, enjoy free time to luxuriate in stunning natural surroundings. Relax in a garden hammock, take pictures in traditional Vietnamese garb, or fish until dinner!
*Plowing rice fields with a Water Buffalo learning an ancient tradition of working with the animal using Vietnamese commands can be arranged prior in certain seasons.
Overnight in Ky Son
After breakfast, say goodbye to your gracious hostess and depart for your next destination.
