Itinerary description

It took us 6 hours, walking slowly and taking our time. We walk most of the time on the road, sometimes on tracks, and across the fields at the end (after Ban Na). We had to take off our shoes to cross several little rivers.
The beginning of the hike is in the forest but then we saw beautiful landscapes. In the villages, you can see weavers working and selling scarfs. There are restaurants and guesthouses in both villages (but no tourist at all when we went there).
In January 2018, it was raining and really mudy, so we did not go up to the viewpoint (20 000kip) but only to the cave and the villages (10 000kip).

    Réalisé avec les enfants, très beau parcours. Le village de Hoy San est vraiment le plus authentique et le plus accueillant des trois de la vallée.
