Muong Tac Valley is the fourth largest valley in the Northwest of Vietnam covering 1,600 hectares. The valley is surrounded by sublime mountains and is home to Black Thai, Hmong and Dao communities.

The name Muong Tac is from the name of the Tac River which is a branch of the Da River. Local farmers culture two rice crops per year at Muong Tac: one from February to June and the other from July to November.

Muong Tac is pristine and untouched by mass tourism. Most travelers only pass through the valley between Hanoi and Ta Xua. But there are Thai families in the valley who offer homestay service as well as opportunities for visitors to experience local culture.
