Song Chai Massive (Vietnam)

We arranged our trip to the Song Chay mountains with an agency so we could meet lots of the local minorities and see the daily life of the families who welcomed us so warmly. We left from Tan Sa Phin and saw several remote villages. We crossed the region of Ki Liou Ti mountain and headed to Phin Ho where the forests and tea plantations were everywhere.

There were some magical hours walking, surrounded by mountains, terraces of rice paddies and green valleys. It wasn't too physically difficult and the constantly changing, but always magnificent scenery, helped me to forget the miles. We spent the nights in the houses of local people, with several different families during our walk. The welcome was simple but generous.
