The experience was amazing. I stayed for two nights at their homestay, and it was truly wonderful. I had a great tour through the rice fields, and during those days I really felt like part of the family. Highly recommended!
Hi! Thank you so much for your kind words 😊 I’m really happy you had a great time with us and enjoyed the rice field tour. It was lovely having you as part of our family, even just for a few days. Hope to see you again someday! 💛
Mu Cang Chai is a spectacular place to see, with beautifully stacked rice paddies, green hills and snowy mountains on the horizon. On a sunny day the scenery looked like it's taken from a fairy tale. We were lucky to see it on a wonderful, late October day! We had it all: Yien, our guide, and his friend delivered my husband and me on their motorbikes right from our homestay to the beginning of the trail. We hiked around rice paddies, and narrow trails above them, through the tall elephant grass, and close to a hidden waterfall. We hardly could stop taking more and more pictures - hundreds of them, made at every turn and twist of our route. The lunch was delivered by yet another person, who brought it on a motobike to the nearest from us field, where we had it sitting right on the edge of a rice paddy! It was truly memorable!
I stayed here for three days and it was, without a doubt, one of the best experiences of my trip through Vietnam. The place is authentic, surrounded by breathtaking landscapes, and the hospitality makes you feel like part of the family. The excursions were varied, well organized, and allowed me to truly experience local life and the rice terraces of Mu Cang Chai in a beautiful and genuine way. I highly recommend this homestay to anyone looking to experience the real Vietnam, far from the usual tourist spots, with warm and sincere hospitality. I would definitely come back!
Hello Franco, Thank you for trusting and choosing Mu Cang Chai Adventure and Indigenous Homestay. We are delighted to know that you had such wonderful memories here. We look forward to welcoming you back again very soon. Warm regards, Yien Mu Cang Chai Adventures
The full day trek was really interesting. The guide was able to answer every question and the viewpoints are really beautiful despite visiting the area in mid-March when the terraces are dry. There are quite steep climbs but you also take various breaks to catch your breath and to enjoy the view
Dear Filippo, thank you very much for choosing the full day trekking with my brother. It's lovely to hear your experience. Have a nice trip🙂 Best regards
The homestay is in an elevated position and has one of the best views in the place. They are very kind and hospitable, the food they cook is very good and tasty. The one-day trek through the rice fields of Mu Cang Chai is beautiful, if you are not trained you will struggle a lot, they bring you lunch for the day and water. Unforgettable experience.

Immersed in the nature of the rice fields, the varied landscape and nature is sovereign. There is peace and serenity, despite being a place of work and sustenance for the population. Wonderful view and photos accordingly. Great lunch prepared with care.
