Itinerary

This 12km loop takes you through majestic mountain landscapes, across streams, and through remote villages. Your adventure begins winding through a small Red Dao village before the trail heads uphill through beautiful rice terraces.

As you climb higher, the views become ever grander. You will cross a rushing stream and hear the water tumbling down the mountainside. Along the way you will likely see people from the surrounding Black Hmong villages.

Take a rest at the top of the climb and shoot some photos of the surrounding panorama. Next, head downhill through some serene forest before reaching the village of Ban Moi.

At the village, you will see the sophisticated and colorful designs of the Red Dao people. From here you will head into a jungle section before emerging onto a wide, open grass area with yet more breathtaking views.

Soon you will be able to see Topas Ecolodge again across the valley. Your guide will point out the coming trail route which will lead you back to the lodge through rice terraces with another beautiful stream crossing.
