Topas Ecolodge – Sin Chai Village – Nam Cang – Topas Riverside Lodge – Topas Ecolodge
Depart Topas Ecolodge at 8:30 and drive to the starting point of the hike, near Sin Chai Village, a truly off-the-beaten track location, framed by steep mountains, rushing waterfalls, and deep valleys.
Continue on through some of the most picturesque rice terraces in all of Vietnam, down dirt trails dotted with bamboo huts used by local farmers as a temporary lodge during harvest season. As the path continues downwards, you’ll eventually arrive to the charming Red Dzao community residing in Nam Cang Village.
A short walk through the village brings you to Topas Riverside Lodge for a relaxing breather on the patio facing the local river. Sit down for a feast prepared by the staff, with all dishes created from locally sourced, organic ingredients. You can also jump into the river and swim with the local children in gorgeous freshwater natural rock pools!
After lunch (and maybe a coffee or lemongrass tea), explore Nam Cang Village with your guide, learning about embroidery, silversmithing, and traditional herbal medicine in different Red Dzao homes before returning to Topas Ecolodge around 15:30.
