Instead of travelling to popular destinations with luxury accommodations, many people find it interesting to explore wild nature at mountainous villages looming in the mist. This is an ideal time to visit Sa Pa, Bac Ha and Bao Yen in Lao Cai Province; Mu Cang Chai and Tu Le in Yen Bai; Lac Village and Mai Chau in Hoa Binh, and Dinh Hoa in Thai Nguyen to enjoy cool weather and flowers in full bloom. Guests are advised to stay at some nice stilt houses by the stream of local people, surrounded by an immense yellow of rice fields and green of fruits and spectacular mountain view and melodies of birds. Walking on a small path leading to ethnic minorities’ villages, travelers might have a feeling of being lost in a magically tranquil space without noise, dust or any disturbance.

People can go in groups to discover landscapes and culture without any instructions from tour guides as local people are ready to help introduce and guide them around. Tourists will have a perfect time to breathe in an autumn atmosphere or lie down on grass fields or admire ethnic people dancing, or enjoy swimming in a pure stream. After several hours staying at the place, all the stress and sorrow might disappear to welcome the feeling of excitement from an adventure.

Guests who have an overnight stay at a stilt house will be greeted with hot wine from the owner to show their hospitality and to sleep at some small chambers at four corners of the house. During the time at the stilt house, people will enjoy singing and listening to legendary stories of ethnic minority people, and savouring specialties with authentic flavours like the five-color sticky rice, duck braised with fermented rice, grilled chicken and fish, braised frog and corn wine among others.

A night stay in the house will give people an interesting experience to use blankets, pillows and mattress made from rustic materials. The well-aired upper and lower areas of the house will help people easily fall into sleep. Sometimes people will be awakened by the sounds of birds or deer in a distance.

An adventure to the villages of stilt houses is an unforgettable memory to travellers to explore not only beautiful nature but also kind hearts of ethnic minority people in the region.
