Ba Vi Eco Retreat Tour – 1 Day

Arrive at Ri village, where you will start the trip at your host’s house with a welcome drink. Meet Mr. Duoc – a Vietnam War veteran and tea-farm owner who tells historical stories with his own experience.

Follow Mr.Duoc to his vast tea farm and learn how to harvest tea leaves. This is a green and peaceful place where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the village.

You may then help him pick tea leaves, and be shown how to collect the best part of the tea tree to make the most wonderful beverage of Vietnam – the traditional tea. Carry on with the process of producing tea at his small workshop, most of the work there is manual.

Have a ten-minute drive to visit another host family in Moc village, where you will enjoy a fun cooking class with Mrs. Chin. She will show you how to cook some Vietnamese dishes, and you will then enjoy lunch with food you helped cook.

Stroll around the village and visit some local families to understand rural lifestyle and learn how tofu, local wine, conical hat and other local products are made.

Enjoy a cycling trip through beautiful paddy fields and interact with local farmers by chance.

Wrap up your countryside tour by a traditional foot bathing in warm water with herbs, following the traditional recipes of Muong ethnic minority. This will relay you (and your feet!) after cycling around the village.

Drive back to your hotel/residence in Hanoi.
