Hit the road through the stunning countryside, winding your way up Ma Phuc Pass, one of the region’s most scenic mountain routes. Your first cultural stop is Dìa Tren Paper Village, home of the Nung people, where handmade paper is still crafted from bamboo using traditional techniques. Next, visit a blacksmithing village where locals forge tools the old-fashioned way by hand, using open flames and heavy hammers.

2:00 PM: Visit the stunning Nguom Ngao Cave, stretching 2 km under the mountains. Wander past sparkling stalactites and formations shaped like dragons, turtles, and mythical beasts. The natural beauty inside this cave is just as dramatic as the landscapes above. 5:30 PM: Return to your homestay in time to relax, enjoy a warm dinner with your host family, and maybe share a few toasts of “happy water” (rice wine) in true local style.
