Get off the tourist trail and discover the real Vietnam with our exhilarating two-day mountain tour from Huế to Hội An.
Day 1: Huế to Prao
Our journey begins on Highway 49, heading west to A Lưới, the last town in Thừa Thiên-Huế province. We’ll ascend three passes – Kim Quy, Tà Lương, and A Co – each offering breathtaking views. Along the way, we’ll stop at an ethnic minority community house and the majestic Mau waterfall.
At Bốt Đỏ, we’ll join the legendary Hồ Chí Minh trail. After lunch, we’ll travel about 105 km on this historic road, witnessing landscapes vastly different from the city. Ride through lush rainforests and enjoy spectacular mountain-top vistas. We’ll visit A Tép village, home to the Katu minority who have lived along the trail for generations. Our day concludes in Prao, where we’ll spend the night.
Day 2: Prao to Hội An
We start with a 52 km ride on the Hồ Chí Minh trail to Thạnh Mỹ, where the western and eastern branches of the trail meet. From here, we’ll descend to Đại Lộc town, home to Vietnam’s largest pineapple farm. Enjoy some fresh pineapple straight from the source!
Next, we’ll cross the Bon river by local boat to explore the UNESCO World Heritage site of Mỹ Sơn. These Champa temples, built between the 4th and 13th centuries, offer a glimpse into Vietnam’s ancient history.
Our final leg takes us through Trà Kiệu village, renowned for its rice paper production. We’ll stop at a family workshop to see the traditional rice paper-making process in action.
Our journey concludes as we arrive in the charming town of Hội An, where centuries of history await your exploration.
