Hello travelers,

What makes your trips special and unforgettable? How about a "joyful unexpected event"? 😉 Our travelers just enjoyed it on their Cao Bang trip and we believe they will always remember it as a once-in-a-lifetime experience! 😂

Their first day in Cao Bang is so amusing with an unexpected experience in trekking trails: building a temporary bamboo bridge 🎍 to go over a muddy patch, with the support of friendly locals 🤗 Continuing the trip, they're feasted by one-of-a-kind landscapes: Ban Gioc waterfall 🌊 - one of the most worldwide majestic border waterfalls and God Eye Mountain. Then, they had a fascinating second-day trek to Ha Lang grassland and remote villages with rustic scenery beyond imagination as if stepping back in time 🍃

👀 A hint for you: from now until March is a fantastic time to soak into the pristine beauty of nature in a crisp atmosphere. Plus, awaiting you in the hill tribe villages will be a treasure of authentic cultures with spring festivals, handicrafts, local cuisine, and more 😋

Don't hesitate to spend at least 2-4 days on your holiday far from tourist radar 😉 and keep in mind that… we're always willing to tailor the most suitable trip to your style!

Best regards,

Hello travelers,

It’s a nice autumnal week in Vietnam that brings Štefan Mažerik and his girlfriend a whale of time in Mai Châu & Pù Luông (let’s see their feeling in the photos) 📸

Around a 3-hour drive from Hanoi, the couple stepped into a true hideout and enjoyed chilling moments together. From Mai Chau, they get more connections to surrounding lands during 3 days, crafting a dynamic film 🎞️ of experiences - cycling through village paths and fields under the calming sunlight, immersing in Thai ethnic culture with handicrafts and folklore, soaking into the green hue of Pu Luong Nature Reserve and hidden waterfall after a short walking, and eventually relaxing in a mineral springs.

A warm welcome always awaits them after adventures, from our three-generation White Thai family, with a cozy stilt house, delicious food, and sincere talks between host and travelers! A joyful detour destination 🌿 for them to slow down as local life paces and feel the genuine beauty of this valley 🥰

Dear travelers,

This week, we bid farewell to a wonderful group of 12 Hungarians, friends of Monika and their families, after a fascinating bonding trip in Vietnam.

Just 4 friends at first, but a Vietnam trip quickly gained traction from their friends who all eager to travel to our country, and eventually… we welcomed a big group! 😂 Together, our team and Monika's group planned together from the beginning, and of course… ideas from everyone were carefully collected and curated 📝 into a long 12-day itinerary in the North.

From must-see spots like Ha Long Bay, Ninh Binh, and Perfume Pagoda, their eyes were feasted by breathtaking natural wonders while enjoying amusing outdoor activities on cruises and local boats 🚣‍♀️ Then, we took them to a peaceful hideout - Duong Lam ancient village, where centuries-old traditional houses 🛖 that embody the soul of the Red River Delta are still well-preserved amidst the poetic rural scenery. Check out photos they captured 📸 here and at the nearby pagodas that they’re also impressed!

They then had a wonderful time with "the host and local food is perfect" (as they felt) in our exclusive spot - Mai Chau. They even wished they could stay longer! 😂 We were delighted as their trip was so fulfilling, from awe-inspiring & unmissable sights to the authentic corners of locals. And we especially cherish the affection of Monika and her friends when they visited our office. Such a lovely group! 🥰

So how about you, do you have any plans for your winter vacation now? Let’s free to contact us to make your desire come true!

Best regards,

GREETING FROM MEKONG DELTA

Dear travelers,

How is your weekend? We’re immersed in the vibrant vibe of Mekong Delta, sent from Thomas and his friends. The 3-day trip as DCT Responsible Travel’s style took them to the regional highlights ✨

Of course, no traveler wants to miss floating markets 🚣‍♀️. Thomas also certainly didn't! Instead of the well-known ones, we connected them with a local family to explore a truly authentic market - Long Xuyên market by a traditional boat.

Then, another unmissable spot they catched is Mang Thit Brick Kilns 🧱, once the largest producer of bricks and ceramics in the Mekong Delta. See from far, the brick kilns are like small castles, so maybe you’ve heard of it as "Red Kingdom”.

Then, Thomas' group also touches our "secret corner" - a Cham village at the headwaters of the Tien River. In contrast to the modern city across the river, this peaceful village is home to centuries-old houses 🛖 and temples, showcasing the cultural blend of Vietnam and Cambodia. After that is a relaxing moment for them in greenery nature of Tra Su cajuput🌳, where they admire an array of flora and fauna, especially 70 water birds species.

The final spot in our Mekong Delta curated collection is Sa Dec, a poetic land with the largest orchid 💐 in the South and a 100-year-old house, a trace of Marguerite Duras' L’amant (The Lover).

🤩 Stay tuned for the next trip of Thomas and his friends with DCT Responsible Travel team - a 5-day trekking route in Hoang Su Phi (Ha Giang), a true adventure for guys!

Best regards,

Hey solo travelers!

Are you thinking about the Vietnam mountains but felt a bit hesitant? Believe us, they’re not too challenging like you think! Let’s see the joys of Claire, just came back from Mu Cang Chai this week 🤩

With us, this land is especially trustful because we’ve built a strong net of companions - local friends 🤝 for many years through a community-based tourism project. So, Claire received a warm welcome from a sincere and hospitable Thai family right after she stepped in there. We believe new friends, yummy food 😋 and cozy homestay are the keys for her to “break the ice” with our village in Mu Cang Chai, and actually, Claire shared with us this feeling!

And don’t worry about “going alone” as our local guide will be with you every step. With Ms. Nùng, a caring & enthusiastic H’mong girl, Claire enjoyed an amusing trip to the ins and outs of Mu Cang Chai 🌾 From iconic spots to rustic villages, she also gained hands-on cultural experiences: H’Mong Batik with a H’mong woman and indigo dyeing with a Thai lady. Then she had a beautiful piece of “local art”🖌️, see below!

☺️ Afterward, this 3-day trip also brings Claire “me-time” for self-discovery and chilling in slow life. Now, are you ready for a solo trip to Mu Cang Chai? Free to tell us 🤙 for one and remember… our team always has your back!

Now, let’s take a look at Claire’s dreamy album captured by Ms. Nùng! 💕

GREETINGS FROM HOANG SU PHI TREKKING

“We’re having a great time, especially with the rice wine, haha. Truly, it’s unforgettable and we’re wistful that it ends tomorrow!” – That’s the message Thibault and Isabelle sent us from their recent trip to Hoang Su Phi. Land's soul is found in its people - so we’re so happy for memories crafted there! 😂😂😂

And to make sure you don’t miss this perfect time, we’ve gotta say that Hoang Su Phi is an amazing spot now – trekking season in Vietnam, with cooler weather and harvesting rice terraces. Not too famous on the Vietnam travel map, so this land is truly an off-the-beaten path where you’ll see the most authentic and breathtaking sights, we believe!

With our local guide, the couple trekked through one of the most challenging trails in Vietnam for 4 days, covering more than 50 km! They crossed trails, ancient tea hills, and jungles, and went from one village to another village, which brought them fascinating encounters with locals every day, from the Dzao Ao Dai, Tày, H’Mong, Nùng, and Mán Tả Pán.

As Thibault shared, “rice wine,” a signature drink of Vietnam’s mountains, started talks and connected people from different cultures! (And you know ^^ this is like a “must-do” every time our team meets local friends, who’ve told us that wine is a way to show their affection to friends).

Trekking with a local and staying in homestays is how our team helps travelers delve into each region and also contributes to the local community’s income. Now, let’s take a look at some of Thibault & Isabelle’s unforgettable moments!

Best regards,
DCT Responsible Travel

EARLY SUNSHINE AFTER YAGI TYPHOON ✨

Today, the sun finally made its way back to Hanoi and the northern provinces 🤗, and river levels are dropping—a truly welcome sight! While things are settling down in the lowlands, we still note you to be cautious if you're heading to the mountains. After lasting rain, there is a high risk of landslides due to the saturated soil.

The Vietnam Meteorological Center predicts more sunshine🌞 tomorrow, and we’re hopeful that life will soon get back to normal. Now, Vietnamese in all regions join hands 🙌🏻 to support the North, so we deeply appreciate support from international friends. If you’d like to donate, we recommend trusted NGOs or official government organizations. We believe they’ll know exactly what’s needed and where to provide aid!

Here are two reliable sources for donations:
