In the afternoon, continue to a Dao ethnic village, where we stop by a local household to learn about their traditional crafts. You’ll see how they weave fabric on a handloom and make natural paper from forest plants — skills preserved through generations.
DAY 3 — CAVE HIKING & COFFEE EXPERIENCE (B, L)
Pa Phong → Tuan Giao → Dien Bien Phu (160 km)
Wake up by the river and enjoy a slow morning in the valley. After breakfast, we ride out of Pa Phong and follow scenic mountain roads for about 20 km to reach the area of Kho Chua La Cave. From the trailhead, take a short hike into the cave — an impressive underground passage shaped by water and limestone formations.
