Stunning mountain scenery, forests teaming with wildlife and majestic waterfalls are some of the natural wonders of the 11-day-and-10-night tour to the highlands regions organized by Ben Thanh Tourist Service Co.
Vietnam is one of the most populated countries in the world with 54 peoples living in the same territory. Up to 95% of the Kinh people live in the lowlands, while the rest live in the upland regions, in Buon Ma Thuot, Kon Tum, Pleiku, Sapa and Bac Ha.
On the way to Buon Ma Thuot travelers will appreciate the fresh mountain air of the highlands and be delighted with the D’ray Sap waterfall, the most imposing waterfall of the Serepok river. At the villages of the Ede ethnic people the tour group will make a camp, light a fire and enjoy ruou can (wine drunk out of a jar through pipes) as they listen to the gong performances. Gongs are recognized as a masterpiece of oral and intangible heritage by UNESCO and are regarded as the most sacred objects in each family and tribe of ethnic minority people, as well as the soul of the central uplands. This is also where the more adventurous can have a ride on the back of an elephant.
In Kontum – Pleiku, the home of many ethnic groups such as Ede, Xe Dang and H’re, tourists can join the activities of local people including cutting wood, digging potatoes and visiting Kon Ktu and J’rai Daktu villages and the Museum of Ethnology to learn more about the cultural features and life style of ethnic minorities groups.
Leaving behind the splendid and impressive scenery and friendly highlanders, tourists will take a flight to Hanoi to visit Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, Hoan Kiem Lake, One pillar Pagoda, Ngoc Son Temple and the Museum of Ethnology. At night, a water puppy show will serve as a special gift of the city capital. From Hanoi the tour travels to Lao Cai by train and heads on to Sapa.
The Sapa area is famous for the spectacular scenery that surrounds the Queen of Mountains, including cascading rice terraces that spill down like a patchwork quilt. In the cold weather the mountains are often shrouded in mist that rolls back and forth along the peaks, offering tantalizing glimpses of what lies in wait on a clear day.
In the foggy city of Sapa, tourists can trek down to visit the villages of H’Mong and Dao ethnic groups in Ta Phin Commune, and on the weekends stroll around Love Market.
From Sapa, tours are arranged to Bac Ha- Lao Cai, home to many Dao, Nung and Tay minorities. Here, tourists can enjoy folk games and music performances and visit Bac Ha Market to buy the colorful local costumes of locals as well as specialties and souvenirs.
