All meals on the trip and drinking water on the trek are included. Accommodation is at a Dao family overlooking a spectacular landscape of scenic valleys, mountain peaks, and rice terraces. You may have the impression that homestay is quite rudimentary in facilities and we are pretty sure that your perception may change a bit after the trip with Paradissa to Hoang Su Phi...
