About This Tour

Mu Cang Chai is best visited during the September–October harvest season, when the terraced fields turn a deep gold. Our three-day tour takes you off the main viewpoints and into the fields themselves — walking the narrow bunds between paddies, visiting the Thai and Hmong families who farm them, and staying in a traditional stilt-house homestay.
