Itinerary description

Beautiful views all along the way.
Path across villages and fields.

Nice and quite homestay by a Zao family, perfect to read and write (hot shower, no wifi)

First day : Walk from Ba Bê to Nha Nghe. I took a longer way but it worth it for the views (6 hours)
Second day : Walk from Nha Nghe to the Waterfall and back (4hours to go and come back +1hour walking there) The way is very scenic but I was disappointed by the waterfall (polluted, touristy, not possible to go close by and to swimm)
Third day : Walk from Nha Nghe back to Ba Bê (4h30), through the shortest way.

But there is no bridge to cross. It looks like there are few boats for tourists to bring you back to Pac Ngoi. And also few restaurants. You can scream to ask for a boat or even swimm.

    Hey Florence, did you do this tour on your own? Or with a guide? Is it dangerous to go on my own? Thanks!!
