Bao Lac (Cao Bang) is the poorest region in Vietnam where there are 50,000 inhabitants of hill tribe groups living mainly in remote areas without access to water and electricity.
It is one of premier destinations for adventure tours in northwest Vietnam. Most hiking tours are connected with Dong Van Karst Plateau GeoPark in Ha Giang and Ba Be National Park in Bac Kan.
The challenging but scenic route from Dong Mu to Can Yen is perfect for adventure seekers. Incredible sceneries along the way make great rewards for the effort.
Bao Lac is home to nearly 1,000 black Lolos, an ethnic group people who are skilled at making bronze drums, a cultural treasure used only at funerals.
Bao Lac market itself didn't yield many treasures, unless of course you count the smiles, the adventures, the fresh donuts and the photos.
These examples of full package show how we combine adventure travel, off the beaten track travel with classic sightseeing and relaxation to make a balanced, fulfilling and enjoyable holiday.
