Trekking in the lost valleys of Upper Tonkin

On this trip, we use a wide variety of accommodations: hotels, homestays, boats, etc. Hotels: You will stay in hotels located in the city center, in double rooms with private bathrooms (standard equivalent to a 2 or 3-star hotel in France). Below is a list of the hotels we use on this trip. This list is for informational purposes only and is subject to change depending on availability.

1. Hanoi: Romantic Hotel in Hanoi or equivalent
2. Nam Hong: Guesthouse
3. Dong Van: Hoa Cuong or equivalent
4. Ba Be: Guesthouse
5. Bao Lac: Guesthouse
6. Ha Long: An Nam Junk or equivalent
7. Boats on Ha Long Bay: overnight stay on board a junk equipped with air-conditioned cabins for 2 people, of good standard with private toilet and bathroom.
8. Homestay During your treks, you'll stay with local families to foster connections, discoveries, and shared experiences with the community. You'll usually be welcomed into the main room of their home, where you'll eat meals and spend the night. Mattresses, light blankets (you'll need a sleeping bag or liner depending on the season), and mosquito nets are provided. Comfort is often basic, but a warm welcome is guaranteed. There's no hot water or heating, but almost all houses have electricity (though it can be unreliable at times!). Domestic animals roam freely, and roosters don't always wait until dawn to crow... A true experience of rural Vietnam! Electricity is available in all accommodations; however, power outages can occur. Guesthouse A guesthouse is an authentic and welcoming type of accommodation, offering simple comfort but warm hospitality. Overnight stays are generally in shared rooms with shared bathroom facilities. Other guests may also be staying at the guesthouse outside of our group. Generally, all guesthouses are equipped with hot water and electricity.
