    We truly enjoyed our time trekking through the stunning landscapes and sharing meals with a welcoming family. The homestay added an authentic touch, though having a bit more guidance on local customs would have enhanced our experience even further.

    Staying with a local Dzay family during my trek was the highlight of my trip; their warmth and hospitality made me feel like I was truly part of their world. Waking up to the misty mountains and the aroma of breakfast cooking was an experience I will never forget. If there’s one thing I would suggest, it would be to have a bit more time to explore the beautiful rice terraces nearby, but overall, this adventure was a wonderful immersion into authentic Vietnamese culture.

    We were pleasantly surprised by how much we connected with the local family during our homestay, which truly enriched our trekking experience. Each meal was a delight, showcasing fresh ingredients and traditional recipes that made us feel like part of their daily life. If we had a wish, it would be for a little more time to explore the surroundings, as we found ourselves wanting to soak in every moment of this authentic adventure.
