Mai Chau 2-Day Classic: Homestay, Cycling & Village Trek

The bus eases off the highway and the world opens into a wide, green loaf of valley—rice paddies sliced by dirt tracks, stilt houses balanced on short stilts, and farmers who glance up as you pedal past. By late morning you stand at Thung Khe Pass, wind forcing the view open: Mai Chau valley folding away into low karst ridges. The first day moves at a comfortable rhythm—market stalls at the pass, a long lunch, then a relaxed bike ride through flat paddy dikes to a Thai stilt-house where the evening’s fire and food arrive like a slow benediction.
