Trekking In Northern Vietnam
Northern Vietnam is still relatively wild and attracts the adventurer wishing to see spectacular landscapes, native peoples and traditional ways of life. Trekking in Northern Vietnam is an amazing experience. A private tour is the perfect way to see Northern Vietnam with a small group of friends. This is by far the most popular type of visitor we have. We do also cater for families, couples and solo travellers too, we love all our guests equally!
With a trekking guide you get to meet many interesting locals, trek along the best paths in the region, and share in some of the local culture. Not only that but your guide is countryside born and raised so knows lots about nature, farming and the countryside in general, so there will be plenty of stories to hear about life in these remote parts. Oh yes and your guide organises everything for you from the homestay accommodation, food, organising transport and official paperwork etc. These costs are all included as well so where indicated on the itinerary for breakfast, lunch, dinner, water, private driver, hotel, homestay accommodation, English speaking tour guide, entrance fees to national parks, monuments, etc is included. Quite the bargain.
A general level of fitness is required to really get the best out of the trekking adventures. Treks are usually 5-7 hours of walking per day. If you would rather take it a little easier on the KM’s trekked, please contact us and we will discuss changes to meet your requirements. Remember these are private tours so we can tailor to your needs.
New website updates
We have added lots of information to help you with creating your tour and to make things clearer about what to expect. Each tour now has a detailed itinerary as well as information about each of the destinations, sights and treks.
*Most of the photos on this site are taken me on my old camera phone and other even older camera phone. The quality might not be the best, but what you see in the photos is what you can see on tour with us. Now then, lets trek together!

News & Events
Website updates and social media
Keep up to date by checking our facebook & instagram pages. There are a few cultural events during the year worth noting and we now have that in an events page. From tet - which is nationally observed to local flower festivals, we try to cover the main ones. There is also more information about who we are, our tribes and the other tribes we mix with in Northern Vietnam. Please bare with us as we make these upgrades and add more information as I am not an HTML programmer and paying other people to do it is out of our budget.
Destination Sapa!
I have now moved to Sapa permanently! Before when I was located in Hanoi as the most popular tours where the Ha Giang and Grand Tours with private driver. As you may be aware that this is the year of the dragon and dragon babies are considered very good luck - so there are some additions to the extended family that I wanted to be there for. It’s an exciting time for sure with family.
Tour updates
We are now able to offer more complete packages with Sapa including transportation from Hanoi as well as new tours that replace the private driver with a luxury bus to reduce costs in Ha Giang. This is especially good news for couples as it can save over $300 in tour cost.
It is still possible to do tours in Ninh Binh and Mai Chau. If you are still interested in these destinations - you can still contact me. We also a have a Dragon Mountain Family sister - Lyly in Hanoi who is now going to take you on all the Hanoi tours.
