Full-Day Trekking around Topas Ecolodge

You commence the walk from Topas Ecolodge along the footpaths of Silver Stone Mount. During the walk you will witness the stunning views of the valleys and rice paddy terraces. At noon you will arrive at the Lech village, inhabited by the Red Dao minority. You will visit the village and have your lunch at a local house.

After lunch, you will continue the walk to a nearby Red Dao village. If it is a school day, a visit to the village’s school is a nice opportunity to meet all the children, who can be from Red Dao or H’mong minority, or are of different ages, but share the same classroom. From the village, you will follow the hill trails up to the main road, and enjoy the surrounding breath-taking view of dotted peaks, endless rice terraces, and the beautiful Muong Bo river. You will arrive back at Topas Ecolodge after another 15-minute walk on the main road.

Optional: If you’re in search of a more demanding and immersive trekking adventure, consider extending your morning route from Lech Dao village to Lech Mong village. This journey offers the chance to connect with the Black H’mong minority community and visit a local Black H’mong household, providing an invaluable opportunity to experience their vibrant culture and traditions up close. Following this enriching cultural interaction, descend to the valley floor, where a Vietnamese lunch awaits, graciously prepared by a local family.

This trek spans roughly 11–12 kilometers and entails 5–6 hours of walking throughout the day.
