DESCRIBE

If you are looking for a short adventure that combines waterfalls, light trekking, camping, and local culture, this journey is an excellent choice. Set around Ban Ba Waterfall in Chiem Hoa, Tuyen Quang, the trip combines active outdoor experiences with a slower village atmosphere. Travelers get to hike through forested waterfall terrain, swim in natural pools, camp by the falls, and explore the surrounding Tay community by bicycle the next day. What makes this tour especially appealing is the balance between nature and culture: the waterfall landscape feels wild and refreshing, while the village setting adds warmth, local food, and a more personal connection to the region. Ban Ba is officially promoted as a national scenic site and as part of Tuyen Quang’s eco-tourism landscape.

  • Camp beside the falls and enjoy a BBQ dinner in the forest
